Travel Modules
Think of modules as the building blocks of your website – each one adding something extra to your website. Every module is tried and tested functionality which can be ‘plugged-in’ to your website easily. This means reduced costs to you and quicker production times for everyone!
Modules explained
As we’ve described before, every one of our modules is previously tested and proven to work. Not only that but it’s easy to integrate into your website – almost like pieces of Lego, you just keep on adding more and more and they just slot together perfectly.
Below lists and explains each of our top modules.
Live Bookable
Our live booking process, or ‘flow’, was designed and built with your website users in mind. It’s extremely easy to use and every detail has been analysed to ensure users can quickly grasp what every thing is and what to do next (with as few ‘clicks’ as possible). Plus, your users will have complete peace of mind as our ‘flow’ is 100% secure.
Why you need this: Having a fully live bookable website means that your business will generate revenue without any human interaction – users can browse all of your travel products for themselves and book online.

Live Search
There is nothing more important than having the right criteria in order to get the right results – that’s why our search engine draws from our decades of travel website experience to bring your users an easy to use, dynamic search engine that even generates a list of destinations based on the first few letters entered. Searching with our technology couldn’t be easier!

eVolve Dashboard & Google™ Analytics
The travel industry is notoriously fast paced, so it’s sometimes hard to take stock of recent events. That’s why we’ve created the eVolve Dashboard. Pulling from live data, you can get an absolute overview of the current success of your website – whether it’s your total number of orders so far today, total enquiries or a summary from Google Analytics. With eVolve Dashboard – you’re always ‘in the know’.

Affiliates
There are huge benefits for your travel company when operating an affiliate program, including increased sales, generating qualified leads, driving traffic to your site, as well as growing your brand. Plus you're only paying for performance, so there are lower costs for your acquisitions.
It’s easy to get the most out of your website through Affiliate Marketing with us, simply use our straightforward affiliate module to create a profile for each affiliate which is then used as either a simple ‘link affiliate’ or a ‘white label affiliate’.
‘Link affiliates’ are very uncomplicated, you simply set them up in the module administration area and create a unique code for each affiliate. This code is then used as part of the affiliate web address which attaches itself to every order generated by that affiliate. As the administrator, you can sort your orders by date and then by affiliate name to see the value of orders generated. Easy money!
‘White label affiliates’ takes the ‘link affiliates’ system and offers even more for you and your affiliates. Essentially you are allowing them to ‘borrow’ your website but with their branding instead of your own. This, along with the ability to change the phone number for each white label, means that you can charge extra fees for using your website.

Channel Builder
Every business has their target markets or specialist areas – that’s why we’ve created the ‘channel builder’ which essentially allows you to highlight your specialist areas and make them prominent on your website.
For example one of our customers, NotJustTravel.co.uk wanted to show their specialist destinations and holiday types. They also wanted to be able to edit, add to and remove channels – so they utilised our channel builder and haven’t looked back!
A typical ‘channel’ page consists of:
- An introduction to the ‘channel’ i.e. Maldives specialist
- The travel search box - with the specialist destination already in the ‘to’ field along with your selected travel categories i.e. flights, holidays and car hire, or just flights – you decide!
- Key imagery – add an inspirational image to set the mood
- Destination weather – showing the current temperature
- Special offers – list your best offers for that channel
- Links – why not link to the destination guide, FAQ’s and more
- Phone number – you can even amend the phone number for each channel to ensure your customers speak to the channel specialists

Enquiry Controller
Our experience showed that many calls generated from your travel website are from people who have done a search and are interested in buying but have questions. Then your sales professional has to do the same search and find them same hotel which takes at least 5 minutes after taking down all of the customers search details etc – our Enquiry Controller makes this easy. Every travel search shows a unique reference number at the top of the page, which when quoted can be entered into the administration area to be then whisked directly to the same stage that your customer is – so your sales team to quickly take control of the search and move it all the way through to payment.

Making sure your website has the most relevant content is absolutely key to success. That’s why our offer builder module is simple to use and yet advanced at the same time. Using our administration system you’ll enter all of the information including prices, durations, departure airports and prices plus much more. All this is then transformed and placed onto your website for users to view and enquire about.

Telephone Number ‘In Flow’
Make your telephone number adapt to where your customer is inside the booking ‘flow’. For example, if they’ve added their holiday to basket and want to call, you can direct the call to your ‘baskets’ team to convert. Combine this with the ‘Enquiry Controller’ module and you’ve got a winning combination!

Geo-Database
Think of our Geo-Database Module as the whole world in a database, because essentially that’s what it is! It’s the core information for all destination information. From day one, you enter the information you would like to appear for each destination, including:
- Destination name
- Image galleries
- Location maps from Google Maps
- Currency
- Tips & Tricks from taxis and packing tips to dialling codes and eating out information
- Weather
- Full guide/destination information
It’s not only destination information that is included, but also Accommodation. Each hotel or property can be added with great detail including:
- Hotel name
- Image galleries
- Location map
- General information
- Rating
- Weather
- Rooms & Rates
- Facilities
- Amenities
- Restaurant, dress code and room service details
- Plus much more!
With every destination and/or hotel you enter, the front-end of the website generates its own dedicated page that’s accessible to your users and also search engines.
Plus if you choose our PRO+ package, we can pre-populate all of the accommodation information for you automatically!

Dynamic Content Pages
Combining our Geo-Database with Dynamic Content Pages and you’ll get search engine dynamite! Every hotel and destination you’ve entered will have it’s own landing page which includes:
• Search box – encouraging users to book their holiday with the hotel
• Destination Guide - including imagery, guides, weather and more
• Hotel information - with imagery, room details and ratings (plus more)
• Special offers for that hotel
The major factor of Dynamic Content Pages is its ‘intelligence’. Every search your users completes automatically generates more and more of these pages – so when you launch you may have 20, but by the end of the month you could have thousands!
Once they’re indexed by Google and other search engines, you could see a significant rise in natural traffic and bookings – without lifting a finger.
Plus if you choose our PRO+ package, we can pre-populate all of the accommodation information for you automatically!

Form Builder
The Form builder module allows you to easily create either simple or complex forms and place them on a number of pages within your website. A form is created by dragging-and-dropping field elements (e.g. text box, date fields) onto a blank form. Each field can then be configured to specify properties such as name, field width, and whether it is mandatory or not. Fields can also be grouped together inside a panel to make the form more readable. Additional comment text can also be included within the form to give the user instructions or extra information.

So it’s important your website can talk to your CRM system to ensure you can ‘work smart’. Integrated in to the form builder module is the CRM data capture, which can be initialised by a simple tick box in the form builder settings – it’s that easy!
