RepBud is a travel CRM and tourism network built specifically for the travel trade. It combines two things the industry has never had in one place: a customer relationship manager designed around how travel sales reps actually work, and a professional network that connects reps, tour operators, DMCs and properties. It is mobile-first on iOS and Android, with a full web dashboard, and it is built for client-facing travel professionals rather than office-based account managers.

The core users are travel sales representatives. That includes reps working in-house at a DMC or tour operator, representation companies selling a portfolio of properties and destinations into the trade, and independent reps building their own book of business. For all of them, RepBud handles the work that generic CRMs were never shaped for: logging every conversation from the road, matching it to the right contact and company, surfacing follow-ups before they slip, and turning months of activity into a branded client report in a single tap.

In practice, you log a meeting in seconds — by voice, text, business card scan, or by forwarding the email or WhatsApp thread, which RepBud reads to extract the people, decisions and next steps for you to approve. A daily briefing tells you who you are meeting and who you have not spoken to in a while. Meeting prep pulls together what you know about a contact before you walk in. Reports, social posts and client newsletters are drafted from your real activity in your own voice. And when the trade gathers in a city for shows like WTM London, ITB Berlin, INDABA and ATM Dubai, the Who's Nearby feature flags which of your contacts are in town — no map and no live location, just a quiet heads-up that someone worth seeing is nearby.

The wider travel trade benefits too — PR and media teams, marketing managers, travel agents, destination boards and tourism associations use RepBud to stay organised and connected through the same network layer. It assists your professional judgement rather than replacing it, and it is the closest thing the travel industry has to a purpose-built CRM and professional network in one tool.
