Circle

Group tour operator software for planning, pricing, and managing fixed departures in one unified operating system. Built for complex group travel at scale

Real-time visibility across departures

Gain a single source of truth for pricing, capacity, allocations, and occupancy across every departure. Eliminate spreadsheets, version conflicts, and blind spots between sales, operations, and finance teams with live, departure-level data.

Fewer errors, faster execution

Move from fragmented spreadsheets to action-driven oversight. Circle highlights where attention is needed — from capacity risks to unconfirmed bookings — and enables inventory-aware updates across departures without admin bottlenecks. Teams execute changes confidently, with less manual work and fewer downstream errors.

Better forecasting and profitability

Track performance per departure and across series with continuously updated data. Finance teams and executives gain real-time visibility into pricing, booked and departed revenue, and capacity resulting in data-driven decision making and stronger margin control.

Tiered Pricing Models

Design group tours with pricing models that balance commercial strategy and operational reality. Define room configurations, group-size tiers, seasonal rates, supplements, inclusions, and margin rules once — then model scenarios, including FoC options, before committing to departures. When tours go live, pricing models flow directly into Operational Itineraries, keeping pricing, capacity, transport, and costs aligned as bookings progress.

Operational Itineraries

Operational Itineraries are the live execution layer for each departure. As passengers book, itineraries update automatically based on room selections and group size. A single-room booking increases single-room inventory across all nights and adjusts per-person services, activities, and costs accordingly. Transport and transfers are recalculated in real time — including vehicle size or quantity — using rules defined in the Pricing Model.

Operational Itineraries also manage the realities of running a tour. Supplier requests, confirmations, and rooming lists are handled in one place, while guides, drivers, and tour leaders are captured and included in manifests. When changes impact the traveler experience, teams can clearly manage and communicate those updates, while internal operational adjustments remain controlled and accurate.

Bulk Manager

Bulk Manager is built for the moments when plans change. Teams can replace placeholder or underperforming suppliers, apply newly secured inventory, or update services across multiple departures in a single action. Cost changes, payment schedules, cancellation terms, and B2B commissions can all be recalculated in bulk — without spreadsheet workarounds or manual rework.

Real-Time Capacity & Occupancy Tracking

Track capacity, allocations, release periods, and occupancy in real time across every departure. As bookings, rooming, and inventory change, availability updates instantly — enabling accurate quoting, proactive operations planning, and reliable margin forecasting.

👆 How it works

Circle runs on Kaptio’s Salesforce-native travel booking system, built for modern B2B travel operations. Pricing Models define tour structure and pricing, while Operational Itineraries manage live departures — including supplier requests, booking confirmations, and the distribution of preliminary and final rooming lists. Capacity, allocations, and costs stay continuously in sync from planning through departure.

Circle also operates seamlessly alongside Quest, supporting operators who manage both group tours and tailor-made travel within a single, connected platform.

What our customers are saying

"Streamlining our payment gateway into a single, on-platform solution has made a world of difference for Aurora Expeditions. Since implementing Kaptio Pay (module), our Reservations teams have seen a 50% increase in productivity, through the removal of cumbersome and complicated payment processes. And our customers are also seeing the benefit; now they are able to transact with us regardless of region or card type – something that was previously out of reach for us."
