Wetu carries the content. RepBud carries the relationship.
Wetu is where the itinerary and the property content live. RepBud is where you keep track of which operators you showed it to, what they said, and what you promised to send next.
Wetu is an itinerary and content platform widely used across African tourism, with a large shared library of destination and property content.
What RepBud is
Wetu is deeply embedded in African tourism for good reason. Its itinerary builder, product manager and shared content library mean an operator can put a properly presented trip in front of a traveller quickly, and a supplier can have its rooms, images and descriptions ready to be dropped into someone else's itinerary.
RepBud answers a different question: who did you meet, what did they commit to, and what happens next. For a rep with a portfolio of lodges and camps, the work is the round of trade shows, roadshows and follow-ups that gets those properties in front of the right buyers — and the evidence of that work that the lodge owner expects to see each month.
A property using Wetu to publish its content and a rep using RepBud to sell it to the trade are working on the same commercial outcome from different ends.
What it brings to your day
What RepBud adds alongside a content platform
A record per relationship
Contacts, companies and the history between you, so the operator you met at INDABA two years ago is not a name you half remember.
Who is nearby
Switch on your visibility and see which of your contacts are in the same city — at a show or on a sales trip — so the diary fills with the people worth seeing.
Evidence for the property
A client report drawn from what was actually logged — useful when a lodge asks what its retainer bought this quarter.
Bring what you already have
ReRoot imports contacts and companies from CSV, Excel and most CRMs, with matching to help avoid duplicates, so you are not starting from an empty book.
Being straight with you
RepBud does not build itineraries, host property content or produce a traveller-facing brochure, and it has no equivalent of a shared image library. If what you need is to present a trip beautifully to a traveller, Wetu is built for that and RepBud is not. The two sit comfortably side by side: the content platform for what you send, RepBud for who you send it to and what was agreed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions people ask us
Does RepBud replace Wetu?+
No. Wetu builds and presents itineraries and holds property content; RepBud keeps the trade relationships and the record of what was discussed. They solve different problems and are commonly used together.
We represent several lodges. Where does RepBud fit?+
That is the situation RepBud was built for. It keeps each property you represent as a client, tracks the operators and agents you are putting them in front of, logs the meetings from your phone, and produces the report each property expects to see.
Can I bring my existing contacts across?+
Yes. RepBud ReRoot imports contacts and companies from CSV, Excel and most major CRMs, with fuzzy matching to help prevent duplicates, so moving across does not mean starting from a blank contact book. You stay in control of every record.
Can I keep using both?+
Plenty of people do, especially where a wider team already has a tool it likes. RepBud is where the rep works in the field, and you can export contacts and activity whenever you want to feed something else. Your data is yours, and we make it easy to take with you.
Does RepBud replace my own judgement about a relationship?+
No. RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement. It captures the conversation, matches the contact and surfaces what needs attention next — the call on what to do about it stays with you.
