TripSuite, the leading software platform for travel agencies, has raised $5 million in seed funding. The round was led by F-Prime Capital, with participation from Bienville Capital Management and Thayer Ventures. The investment will further TripSuite’s mission to enhance the agency and traveler experience through product innovation and deepen its commitment to customer success.
According to research conducted by Phocuswright, travel agencies book over $100 billion in travel annually, and have historically relied on an antiquated and siloed software stack resulting in inefficiencies, unnecessary costs, and lost commissions. Today, 38% of Gen Z and millennials prefer a traditional travel agent over online booking. This preference is significantly higher than Gen X or Baby Boomers, representing a generational shift towards using a travel agent. Agencies are actively seeking technology to help them streamline workflows and meet this rising demand.
“We are enabling our customers to harness powerful insights that propel informed decisions and foster deep, personalized engagements with their end clients, the travelers,” said Jacey Jones, co-founder and CEO of TripSuite. “This investment empowers us to shape the future of travel, ensuring our customers set the standard for innovation in a dynamic industry.”
TripSuite’s intuitive cloud-based platform fully replaces legacy software. Agencies using TripSuite collectively book over $1 billion in travel for their clients annually and are saving 20+ hours a week on back-office activities.
“Agencies and advisors are the backbone of the travel economy, and they deserve technology that matches their ambition,” said Gaurav Tuli, Partner at F-Prime Capital. “TripSuite is delivering the platform agencies need to lead the future of travel, empowering them to innovate, grow, and provide exceptional experiences for their clients.”
TripSuite is setting a new industry standard with its all-in-one, AI-powered platform that consolidates legacy systems into a single, cloud-based platform. Its comprehensive suite of tools includes CRM, commission tracking, accounting, payments and analytics, powering improved efficiency and advanced data insights.
