Rezdy

Very Good Software bad support

Commentaires : Overall: we have a serious situation going on, and it seems they couldn't care less. It is jeopardizing the entire company. We had to build a task force on a Sunday to try to organize things manually to minimize all the problems caused by the system.

Avantages :

It is a very complete solution for tours and activities. Once you understand how it works, it is a very good way to prepare your company for growth.

Inconvénients :

We warned Rezdy many times about a problem when Brazil should get into Daylight Saving Time. The Brazilian government stated that in 2019 the DST would be postponed in 2 weeks. Sessions had wrong times and iit would not be available in Expedia for the same reason. The support team used to be very attentive to our demands, but there has been a sudden change in behavior lately. We are a big company with more than 1,000 bookings/month, and Rezdy's lack of support is compromising the entire company. Activities and transfer are booked at a certain time, but the document sent to the passengers states a different time and sometimes a different day! Clients are feeling suspicious about this change in times and dates, even if we explain that it is a system's problem. Pick up times in tours have been changed automatically and clients are getting impatient about that. We have been trying to receive and urgent answer from the support team, even calling them, but no answer. This is completely awkward, considering their previous behavior (answering promptly). Some of our suggestions are to create sessions 1 year long (not 6 months), create a way to make multiple language versions of the same product (not having to clone many times) and create subdivisions for the product description (ITINERARY, INCLUSIONS, EXCLUSIONS, KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK ETC.)

A good solution for small-mid companies

Commentaires : In general, the experience is good: the only thing is that I cannot change some words in the Spanish interface, and the product descriptions could have more fields, but in general, it fulfills its purpose well.
Its integration with Stripe is very good, which does not make it necessary to enter to the platform for the issue of refunds.

Avantages :

I come form Bókun: Rezdy is more flexible customizing reservation options. We are a Travel Agency creating our own products with very local providers, and sometimes we have events tickets, train tickets, hotels, and we mix it together... at the moment, Rezdy solve each of my issues.

Inconvénients :

As I said, we come from Bókun... I miss a lot the online site creator (wich is a Duda white label integration). Rezdy with this will be unbeateable for me!

Alternatives envisagées : Xola, Rezgo et Bókun

Pourquoi choisir Rezdy : The flexibility of customizing different reservation options for different products

Great Product but Skims % of Sales

Commentaires : It has been excellent, through once they moved from a static monthly fee to a dynamic one, their service got more expensive but for no noticeable change in product or quality.

Avantages :

This is a great product we have used for years and has most of the tour booking features you need, but we will be shifting to Checkfront after the 2023 season. We highly recommend using Checkfront instead of Rezdy because Checkfront doesnt skim $$ from your sales like Rezdy ( even after you paid your monthly subscription).

Inconvénients :

Rezdy charges a monthly fee AND takes a % of your sales, so making money off your sales, which we believe is unreasonable. Sure, you can pass on the many additional fees Rezdy has (on top of their standard monthly subscription fee) to the customer but it can add to a lot of money you are taxing the customer. We highly recommend using Checkfront - it is an excellent alternative but they wont tax your sales and make money off your back like Rezdy does.

Alternatives envisagées : Checkfront

Pourquoi choisir Rezdy : Checkfront has all the options Rezdy does for a fixed monthly subscription fee. Rezdy has a monthly subscription PLUS it slugs you with various booking fees ( in $ and %). There is no justifiable reason why a software company needs to skim $$ from your sales even after you have paid your monthly subscription.

Logiciel antérieur : Checkfront

Pourquoi passer à Rezdy : Didn't know about Checkfront when we started and Rezdy was an Australian based service provider.

Implementing Rezdy is the best decision we ever made

Commentaires : Massive reduction in time spent on bookings management, I would say upward of 90%. This results in massive savings in money of course. By automating our booking process we have also (almost) completely eliminated mistakes with bookings. No more double-bookings, incorrect names etc. In over 7 years of using Rezdy we haven't had a single booking mistake.

Avantages :

Ability to automate bookings and payment. Once set up to our needs, it is almost completely hands-off. Things like payment reminders make management of bookings so much simpler.

Inconvénients :

It really needs multi-currency support, ie. that tour operators can price tours in different countries in local currency.

Alternatives envisagées : Checkfront et Bókun

Pourquoi passer à Rezdy : We did seriously consider Checkfront, but Rezdy had all the same features and benefits and was an Australian company like ours so we went with that. It's been the best decision we've ever made, it's completely changed our entire booking management.

The best B2B tour booking software

Commentaires : We used Rezdy both directly and through an API for booking tours. The API bookings were done through our web app and the direct ones were done by our agents. In both cases, the bookings went through without any issues. Rezdy was one of the rare booking systems that we used that we did not have any issues using. I would definitely recommend Rezdy to everyone who wants to have a beautiful and working tour booking software. Additionally, Rezdy comes with a marketplace where you can easily find operators you want to use, eliminating the need of doing much research on that end.

Avantages :

It is incredibly well made. Unlike most of the tour booking software out there, Rezdy is easy to set up, navigate, and use. The user interface is polished, the booking process is simple and straightforward, and the API is very well documented.

Inconvénients :

The only drawback for me was the price, but seeing how well made Rezdy is, I can understand that the price would be high.
