Ensemble continues to expand its technology ecosystem with the addition of three new strategic partnerships: Tern, Travefy and Travel Industry Solutions (TIS).
The new partners further strengthen Ensemble’s commitment to providing members with best-in-class technology designed to streamline operations, enhance client service, integrate easily into systems, reduce administrative burdens and drive greater profitability.
As well, they build upon Ensemble’s growing portfolio of advisor-focused technology solutions, creating a comprehensive suite of smarter tools that support every aspect of a travel business from booking and itinerary management to marketing and lead generation to legal compliance and financial operations.
Kristina Boyce, SVP of Member Services at Ensemble, said that: “Technology should empower advisors to spend less time managing their business and more time growing it.”
Boyce continued: “Our technology ecosystem is purpose-built for the modern travel advisor and represents one of the most comprehensive collections of solutions available anywhere in the industry. We continue to invest in best-in-class partners and platforms that help our members operate more efficiently, serve clients at a higher level, and ultimately build stronger, more profitable businesses.”
The newest additions to Ensemble’s technology ecosystem address several critical operational needs facing advisors and agencies today.
- Tern is an all-in-one platform that consolidates multiple functions such as itinerary creation, CRM and commission tracking into one solution to help advisors replace fragmented systems and streamline day-to-day operations.
- Travefy is the platform travel professionals use to run and grow their business. More than just an itinerary builder, Travefy is a connected platform that brings together the tools advisors need to create trips, manage client relationships, market their business, and streamline their back office.
- Travel Industry Solutions (TIS) offers a suite of specialized business services designed exclusively for travel professionals that include contracts and waivers, automated website policy updates, fraud prevention tools, secure e-signature workflows, payment authorization systems and bookkeeping and tax preparation services tailored specifically to the travel industry.
At the centre of Ensemble’s technology offering is ADX (Agent Digital Experience), a proprietary all-in-one booking platform that enables members to book air, hotels, insurance and other travel components while providing competitive industry margins, simplified workflows and the ability to package multiple trip elements into a single itinerary.
More recently, Ensemble expanded its marketing capabilities through the introduction of Rallio, a social media management and marketing platform that provides members with ready-to-use content, automated scheduling capabilities and tools to help maintain a consistent presence across channels including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Ensemble has also invested in a growing suite of consumer-facing technologies designed to help members strengthen their digital presence, generate leads and create seamless online experiences for travellers.
These include ClientSites, a comprehensive website publishing platform that can help create visually compelling, content-rich websites; Revelex; which enables travellers to search, compare and book cruise itineraries directly through member websites, and Softvoyage, available to Canadian members, which allows travellers to browse and book packaged vacations online. Integrated with Ensemble’s broader technology ecosystem, these platforms leverage Ensemble content, preferred partner promotions, and exclusive offers and amenities, enabling members to deliver a more engaging consumer experience while reinforcing the value of booking through an Ensemble travel advisor.
As well, members have access to Sherpa, which provides travellers with real-time information regarding travel documentation requirements, entry regulations, eVisas and electronic travel authorizations.
