The pipeline travel agencies actually run

Most CRMs ship with a generic lead-to-won funnel. For travel agencies the stages that carry information are 1. Enquiry, 2. Itinerary sent, 3. Quote revised, 4. Booked, 5. Travelled. Rename the default stages to these once and the board immediately tells you something useful, because a deal sitting too long in "Quote revised" is a different problem from one sitting in "Itinerary sent".

Where the deals actually leak

Quotes sent and never chased. Travel enquiries are highly comparison-shopped, and the agency that follows up in forty-eight hours usually wins. Ageing on the board is what surfaces it: the deals you need to see are the quiet ones, and quiet deals are invisible in an inbox and in a spreadsheet.

Seasonal repeat business

Travellers repeat annually. A dated task set for eleven months after they travelled turns a one-off booking into a pattern.

Group and family bookings held together

One booking, several travellers. Linking contacts to a company or family record keeps the group intact instead of six unrelated names.

How this works for businesses in the Philippines

Selling in the Philippines has its own shape. Philippine SMEs sell heavily through Facebook and Messenger, and BPO-style teams run shifts, so a CRM has to make handovers between agents obvious rather than assuming one owner per deal. Tallium AI CRM is set up for that: enquiries arriving over Facebook, Viber and email are captured as leads with the source recorded, deal values are entered in the numbers your team quotes in PHP, and the whole team, from a two-person SME to a forty-person operation across Manila, Cebu and Davao, works from the same records at one flat price. Common verticals here, including BPO and outsourcing, real estate and retail distribution, all run on the same default pipeline with the stage names changed once.

Everyone in the business, on one system

A travel agency rarely has a clean split between sales and everyone else. The person who answers the phone, the person who prices the job and the person who chases payment all hold part of the relationship. Because every user is included at one flat price, all of them can be on the record instead of only the closers, which is what makes the history true rather than partial.

Tallium AI CRM vs outsourcing to a sales or lead-gen agency

An agency can be the right call when you need pipeline faster than you can hire. The catch is what you own at the end of the contract. If the agency runs the CRM, the outreach and the follow-up, then the relationships, the data and the process are theirs. Running it in-house on your own system costs less per month and leaves you with an asset.

Monthly cost	One flat software subscription	A retainer, typically many multiples of it
Who owns the contact data	You. It lives in your workspace	Often the agency's system
Who owns the relationship	Your team	The agency's team
Visibility of the pipeline	Live, at any moment	A monthly report
What you keep if it ends	Everything. Contacts, history and process	A summary, and a restart
Speed to start	Same day	Onboarding period, then ramp

Why teams choose Tallium AI CRM

Flat $99 a month for the whole workspace

One price covers the business, not one seat. There is no per-user rate to multiply, no tier to be upgraded into and no contact-count step. Budgeting for a CRM stops being a forecast of how many people you might hire.

Unlimited users, so the record is actually complete

Sales, support, finance, operations and the owner all get logins with permissions deciding what each can see. Per-seat CRMs quietly push teams to leave people off the system, and the customer history is incomplete exactly where it matters most.

Working on day one, not after a project

A sensible default pipeline, clean contact and company records and lead capture forms ship with the account. Rename the stages to match how you sell, import your contacts, and the CRM is live the same afternoon.

One account with Tallium Accounting and Marketing

The pipeline, the books and the campaigns share one login and one set of customer records. There is no integration to maintain between the quote you sent and the invoice you raised, because they are in the same system.

Built for WhatsApp-led selling

Enquiries that arrive by WhatsApp are captured as leads with a source tag and an owner, and the contact record carries the click-to-chat link. The conversation stays where your customers are. The commitments live where your team can see them.

AI that removes admin, not judgement

Incoming leads are sorted by intent so the ready-to-buy ones surface first, and follow-up messages are drafted for you to edit and send. It is aimed at the twenty minutes a day lost to admin, not at replacing the salesperson's read of a deal.

Getting started, step by step

Rename the default pipeline stages to Enquiry, Itinerary sent, Quote revised, Booked, Travelled.
Import contacts and companies from a CSV export of your spreadsheet, mailbox or previous CRM. Map the columns once and merge duplicates as you go.
Rename the default pipeline stages so the board matches how you actually sell, then move your open deals onto it with values and expected close dates.
Publish a lead capture form and put it on your website, so new enquiries create contacts automatically with the source recorded.
Set the follow-up rule the team will keep: every open deal carries a next step with a date and an owner. This is the habit that decides whether the CRM works.

Frequently asked questions

How do travel agencies use a CRM?

Mostly for two things: chasing quotes that were sent and not answered, and bringing past travellers back next season. Both are follow-up problems with a date attached, which is exactly what a pipeline with dated tasks solves.

Can we track enquiries from WhatsApp and social media?

Yes. Enquiries from WhatsApp, social and web forms are captured as leads with a source tag, so you can see which channel produces bookings rather than which produces messages.

How much does Tallium AI CRM cost in the Philippines?

Tallium AI CRM is a flat $99 USD per month for the whole workspace, billed in USD, which teams in the Philippines usually compare against per-seat tools quoted in PHP equivalents. Unlimited users are included, so the price does not change when you hire. There are no per-seat fees, no feature tiers and no contact-count steps.

Does Tallium AI CRM charge per user?

No. Every plan includes unlimited users. That is the structural difference from most CRMs, and it changes behaviour as much as cost: when a login is free, support and finance go on the system too, and the customer record stops having holes in it.

Is Tallium AI CRM suitable for a small business in the Philippines?

Yes. It is built for teams of two to fifty who need a pipeline that stays current, contact records the whole team can see, and follow-ups that happen on a date rather than from memory. In the Philippines, where much of the selling happens over Facebook, Viber and email, the important part is that enquiries from those channels are captured as leads rather than lost in a phone.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are working in the CRM the same day. The account ships with a default pipeline, contact and company records and lead capture, so setup is importing your contacts and renaming stages rather than a configuration project. There is no implementation fee and no consultant required.

Can I import my existing contacts?

Yes. Export to CSV from a spreadsheet, mailbox, phone or your current CRM and import it, mapping columns to contact and company fields. Deals import with stage, value and owner, so an existing pipeline arrives intact rather than being rebuilt by hand.

Does it work with accounting and marketing?

Yes. Tallium Accounting and Tallium Marketing run on the same account, sharing the same customer records. A lead generated by a campaign lands in the pipeline, and a won deal moves to invoicing, without an integration in between.
