Black Sheep Tourism Founder Trish Shepherd said: “We founded Black Sheep to help travel businesses harness one of their most important assets, their valuable IP in client and business data. As we have been helping business owners to streamline operations and drive new revenue, we quickly realised that current technology available in our market just wasn’t providing the detailed CRM systems or functionality needed to effectively capture or deliver meaningful customer or sales data or segmentation.”
“Two years ago I went looking for a Travel CRM that could take clean customer profile data, searchable travel preferences and create customised segmented databases for inhouse under the radar marketing. What I found was TravelWorks. A robust, scalable and intuitive platform for travel agencies and tour operators.”
“What we’ve focussed on over the past 2 years has been to integrate the right solutions for this marketplace. TravelWorks is different because it is a long-established company in many countries and have designed the platform to align with local requirements. It handles multi currency and varying business structures with ease.”
“The market response is already overwhelmingly positive. Time after time, travel businesses are saying to me “I wish you were around during Covid the platform saves me time as it is so intuitive and traces an entire file history”.”
“We are extremely proud to bring these suites of customised products to our Australian travel agent and tour operator colleagues. TravelWorks is the most comprehensive travel technology available and its consultant friendly and the affordable ‘new’ player in our market while also bringing a proven track record. All our customers will also get personalised training and local tech support. We know one size doesn’t fit all so the system is fully customisable and we work with each business to build out the system that works for them and their consultants.”
PC Voyages/TravelWorks Co-Founder and President Jean Corneau added: PcVoyages/TravelWorks is excited to have partnered with Trish and Black Sheep Tourism to serve Australia. I am confident that together, we will thrive in the growing Australian market as we do in Canada, United States and Europe.”
