Make 2026 Count
We are looking for Tour Operators to join our Odyssey Year-Long Transition Program, specifically designed for those wanting to move away from spreadsheets or legacy systems. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the size of the project or worried about how to make the change, this program is for you. If you had good intentions last year and ended up making no progress as the busy season hit, this program is for you.
This isn’t just a software purchase; it’s a guided partnership to move your entire operation onto Odyssey, the fully integrated platform built specifically for complex, multi-day tours. We work with the natural rhythm of the tourism calendar, not against it. Plus, we’ve structured the program so that you walk away with something of tangible value at every stage, even before the system goes live.
Joining the Program doesn't mean you're committing to a purchase - it means you know things need to change and would like to take a step along this journey.
The Opportunity for Operators
Step 1: Discovery (Jan – Feb)
You’ll start with a deep-dive questionnaire. We want to learn more about your business: we identify your specific pain points, from equipment logistics, to communication and supplier management.
The Value: You receive a documented snapshot of the biggest challenges and bottlenecks in your business... clarity you can use regardless of the software you choose.
Step 2: Customised Demo (Feb – March)
No generic walkthroughs. We’ll show you a live demonstration of Odyssey configured to solve the exact "key concerns" identified in your discovery phase.
The Value: You get a clear vision of what your future looks like, understand the seeing how much time you’ll save on admin once the manual work is gone.
Step 3: Proposal & Contract (April-May)
We provide a transparent breakdown of your implementation timeline and investment, ensuring the platform scales with your specific tour volume.
The Value: You get an actual price for a system tailored with the modules you need, allowing you to build the investment directly into your financial planning. There are no upfront costs on contract signing. Payment is due on system delivery.
Step 4: System Build (The Busy Season through to October)
This is the Odyssey advantage. While you are out on the road focused on your guests, our team takes over. We handle the system setup and data migration in the background. All you need to do is provide us with sample data sets and email templates in your current format.
The Value: A fully scalable system ready for deployment.
Step 5: Rollout (October-November)
As your season concludes, we transition you onto the platform and train your staff while the pressure is off. Your staff then refine your Master templates before going live to ensure they match your brand. You’ll start your "admin season" with a streamlined, automated system ready for next year's bookings.
The Value: Your team is ready for next year's bookings before the first frost hits.
Why Odyssey?
We Do the Heavy Lifting: We migrate your data so you don't have to face the mountain alone.
Zero Peak-Season Stress: Our team builds your infrastructure while you’re in the field.
Break the Cycle: Finally move from "managing files" to "managing experiences."
Time to Plan Your Cashflow: After committing to the contract, the first payment is not due until the system rolls out.
FREE access to Ody Trips Mobile Itinerary app - that's right, for Odyssey contracts signed in 2026 we will include your first year of Ody Trips at no cost.
The only decision you need to make today is whether you want to make progress away from the limitations of spreadsheets, or your legacy software.
