Why Travel Agencies Ditch Salesforce

Salesforce is powerful for Fortune 500 sales teams. But travel is a unique industry—and you deserve tools built for your workflow.

Travel-Native, Not Enterprise-Generic

Salesforce requires expensive consultants to build travel functionality. Collab has itineraries, commissions, and supplier tools built in from day one.

95%+ Cost Reduction

Salesforce licensing alone can cost $1,650/month for 10 users—before implementation. Collab is $79/month flat for unlimited users.

Celebration Travel Out of the Box

Building anniversary tracking and wedding coordination in Salesforce requires custom development. Collab has it built in.

Live in Hours, Not Months

Average Salesforce implementation: 6-12 months. Collab: import your clients and go live the same day.

Pricing Comparison

Salesforce per-seat licensing plus implementation costs can exceed $100k. Collab is $79/month flat.
