A CRM built for the
travel and tourism trade
RepBud is the CRM built specifically for the travel and tourism industry. It is a rep's field companion that tracks trade relationships and portfolio coverage — who you met, what was promised, what happens next — not bookings. Log by voice, photo, email or WhatsApp; walk into every meeting prepared; send a branded client report in one tap.
Mobile-first on iOS and Android, with a full web dashboard. No credit card required.
What makes it a travel CRM, not a booking system
Most tools sold to the travel industry manage the product: a booking or itinerary system holds reservations, availability and trip documents. RepBud does a different job. It tracks the trade relationships that win the business — the tour operators, DMCs and agents a rep talks to, the meetings held, the follow-ups owed, and the portfolio of properties they represent in market.
It is also not a horizontal CRM. A general-purpose platform can be configured to fit almost any industry, which means a setup project before it earns its keep. RepBud builds the travel-trade workflow in — trade shows, portfolio coverage, per-client reporting — so a solo rep or a small team is productive in an afternoon, on their phone.
Built by someone who spent two decades in travel-trade sales, RepBud assists with the work that traditionally got lost between trade shows: the scribbled business cards, the WhatsApp follow-ups, the name of the operator's new BDM. RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement.
What it does
Relationships and portfolio, not reservations
Trade relationships, tracked
A complete contact book with every interaction, email and meeting in order — last-seen dates, relationship gaps, and which companies a contact has worked at. The trade relationship, not the booking.
Portfolio coverage
See which properties and brands you represent, which operators and agents each is being sold to, and where the gaps are — so nothing in the portfolio goes quiet unnoticed.
Trade-show workflow
A directory of travel-trade events, pre-show meeting prep, business-card capture on the floor, and post-show follow-up — built for WTM, ITB, Indaba, ATM, ILTM and the rest.
Log how reps work
Voice, text, a business-card photo, or a forwarded email or WhatsApp thread. RepBud matches the contact, links the company and files a structured record automatically.
Meeting prep
Walk into a booth, a lodge or a client lunch with a briefing built from past conversations, open follow-ups and relationship gaps.
One-tap client reports
Turn months of logged activity into a branded client activity report in a single tap — the monthly report a represented property expects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask about a travel CRM
What is the best CRM for travel industry sales representatives?+
RepBud is a CRM built specifically for travel-trade sales representatives. Unlike a horizontal CRM you configure to fit, or a booking and itinerary system that manages reservations, RepBud tracks the trade relationships a rep lives on — who they met, what was promised, and what happens next — and turns that activity into one-tap client reports. It is mobile-first for reps moving between trade shows, property visits and client meetings.
How is a travel CRM different from a booking or itinerary system?+
A booking or itinerary system manages reservations, availability and trip documents — the product being sold. A travel CRM like RepBud manages the relationships that win the business: the operators, DMCs and agents a rep talks to, the meetings and follow-ups, and the portfolio of properties they represent. RepBud does not hold bookings; it tracks the trade relationship around them, and complements a booking system rather than replacing it.
How is RepBud different from a horizontal CRM like Salesforce or a generic tool?+
A horizontal CRM is a general-purpose platform you shape to fit almost any industry, which means configuration before it is useful. RepBud builds the travel-trade workflow in — trade shows, DMC and operator relationships, portfolio coverage and per-client reporting — so a small team is productive in an afternoon. See our travel-trade alternative to Salesforce for how the two categories differ.
Does RepBud work on mobile for reps on the road?+
Yes. RepBud is mobile-first on iOS and Android with a full web dashboard. A rep can log a meeting by text, voice, a photo of a business card, or by forwarding the email or WhatsApp thread — the capture happens in the corridor or the lodge, not later at a desk. It captures offline and syncs when connectivity returns.
What does RepBud track that a general CRM does not?+
Trade relationships and portfolio coverage: which properties a rep represents, which operators and agents each one is being sold to, when a contact last heard from you, and what is overdue. It also handles trade-show workflow, business-card capture into a relationship history, and branded per-client activity reports — built in rather than assembled from templates.
Is RepBud suitable for a small travel team or a solo rep?+
Both. A solo rep runs their whole book of business on it; rep companies and in-house sales teams run several seats with shared contact visibility so nobody double-approaches the same agent. Every paid plan begins with a 14-day complimentary stay, no credit card required. See repbud.app/pricing for current prices in your currency.
Can I import my existing contacts?+
Yes. RepBud ReRoot imports contacts and companies from CSV, Excel and most major CRMs, with fuzzy matching to prevent duplicates, so moving across does not mean starting from a blank contact book. You stay in control of every record.
