Their Tourwriter story<\/h1>\n

Cultural Italy began using Tourwriter\u2019s Enterprise Plan in November 2016 to create a more seamless, automatic experience for their customers. <\/span>\u201cTourwriter\u2019s software was an obvious step for us. It allows us to create beautiful, custom itineraries and quotes that our clients and prospective clients love!\u201d<\/span><\/i> said <\/span>Elena<\/b>. \u201c<\/span>Designing their highly detailed tailor-made tours, \u00a0which Cultural Italy is renowned for, can be time-intensive. Our travel agents put a lot of passion in every trip they create<\/span><\/i>\u201d, she said. Tourwriter saves time in the document creation phase, allowing travel agents to refocus on their craft. \u201c<\/span>With Tourwriter we can invest more of our time into designing the perfect travel experience. Knowing that the platform has our back when it comes time to create the tangible documents is a huge relief,<\/span><\/i>\u201d continued Elena<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"inboundCultural Italy also needed a new travel software solution to help them continue to scale up their business operations. <\/span>\u201cWe knew that time saved in itinerary creation would free us up to focus on other areas of the business,\u201d<\/span><\/i> said Elena<\/strong>. Tourwriter\u2019s Implementation team worked alongside Cultural Italy to maximise their use of the software; automating and speeding up their quote, booking, and itinerary creation stages exponentially. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating large, complex, luxury tours means Cultural Italy works with hundreds of suppliers, <\/span>\u201cWe needed a concise<\/span><\/i> quick and easy way to pull reports on all of our suppliers,\u201d <\/span><\/i>said Elena<\/strong>. <\/span>Tourwriter\u2019s suite of over 20 standard reports<\/span><\/a> was welcomed, providing her team with instant supplier usage insights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with their implementation team was fantastic – they are experts at what they do and made sure my team was prepared to utilize Tourwriter to<\/span><\/i> its<\/span><\/i> full capacity,\u201d <\/span><\/i>she added.<\/span><\/p>\n
