A practical software evaluation

Travel CRM software features to evaluate in a demo

Use a real sales scenario to evaluate software instead of judging a dashboard alone. Review how an enquiry moves through ownership, quotation, follow-up and booking handover, and confirm what your proposed implementation includes.

Choose by workflow

When this is the right starting point.

This checklist is for buyers comparing a proposed Travel CRM implementation. BANDEVI’s modules are scoped for each engagement; the feature list is not a claim that every function is already available in a standard subscription.

Compare Travel CRM and Travel ERP before deciding what to build first.

Illustrative workflow

From enquiry to a clear next action

This is a requirements example, not a completed client case study. Confirm your own stages, required fields and exception rules.

  1. 01Prepare an anonymized customer enquiry
  2. 02Ask for a consultant and manager walkthrough
  3. 03Test quotation revision and a missed follow-up
  4. 04Review the booking handover and report definitions
  5. 05Record gaps in the written scope before approval
Integrations and data

Confirm the dependencies before committing.

Ask which integrations are live in the demonstration, which need development and which depend on third-party access. Confirm software licensing, provider fees, migration limits and support responsibilities in the written proposal.

Migration and rollout checklist

  • ✓Agree field mapping, duplicates and sample imports
  • ✓Define test users, permissions and exception cases
  • ✓Record integration credentials and ownership responsibilities
  • ✓Agree training, acceptance, rollback and handover
  • ✓Name the support scope and ongoing charges

Pricing and delivery dates follow a requirements review.

Buyer questions

What to clarify before you start.

Is the dashboard image a delivered customer system?

No. Visuals and workflow examples on these pages illustrate concepts. Request a relevant demonstration and ask which screens, modules and integrations are available for your scope.

Should we compare CRM software with custom development?

Compare workflow fit, ownership, licensing, extensibility, migration and ongoing support. Read the Travel CRM development page and the white-label versus custom CRM guide before choosing.

Can we see a client case study?

Ask for an approved client reference relevant to your requirements. The public project models are illustrative and are not verified customer results.

What should we bring to a demo?

Bring an anonymized enquiry, your current stages, user roles, quotation example and the reports you need. Customer personal information is not needed for the first conversation.
