Sembark alternative

A Sembark alternative that drafts the itinerary for you

The slow part of an agency’s day is turning a brief or a DMC quote into a day-by-day plan the client says yes to. Itiner drafts that plan, lets the client accept it in a branded portal, and stays out of the way of the rest.

Free tier, no credit card. 14-day trial on paid plans.

The problem

Why agencies look for something else

These are the friction points that make an Indian agency or DMC open a comparison tab. They describe workflow strain, not a verdict on any particular product.

The itinerary is still typed day by day

A builder with templates still leaves the agent writing each day. Itiner turns a brief, a pasted WhatsApp enquiry or a spoken brief in an Indian language into a full draft built on real places.

Setup takes a consultant

Itiner is self-serve with public pricing: a free tier and paid plans starting at ₹1,500/month. You can draft a live trip the day you sign up, with no setup fee and no implementation call.

The client says yes on WhatsApp, outside the system

In Itiner the client compares up to three packages in the portal and taps Accept. The agent gets an email and the acceptance is recorded with the exact price, GST included.

The DMC quote has to be retyped

Upload the DMC’s PDF or paste its text. The hotels, transfers and sightseeing become the trip’s days, and AI Generate fills the free time around them without changing them.

What to evaluate

What to check before you switch

Use these as a checklist against any alternative you shortlist, Itiner included. Each one can be tested in a free trial with a real client brief.

How fast a brief becomes a sendable proposal

Paste a real enquiry, generate the draft, set two package options and publish. Time it. That is the number that decides whether the tool pays for itself.

Whether the quote is GST-ready

Itiner shows your GSTIN, a GST line on the whole package or on your service fee only, and TCS for overseas packages, all at rates you set. Nothing is defaulted, so check them with your CA.

How deposits are collected

Itiner shows a UPI QR and pay link to your own UPI ID, so the money goes straight to your bank. You mark it received and the client moves to Deposit Paid. Itiner never holds client money.

What the traveller carries

Tickets, vouchers, visas and insurance sit in the same portal link as the itinerary, next to live weather and local emergency numbers.

What stays outside the tool

Itiner is not a full CRM, a supplier-contract system or an accounting package. It keeps a light client pipeline, a shared supplier contact book and a CSV export for your accountant. Confirm the rest of your stack covers the gaps.

See a DMC quote become a proposal

The demo walks through importing a supplier quote, generating the rest of the trip, adding package options and publishing the portal the client accepts from.

Frequently asked questions

Before you decide

Straight answers on scope, migration, and pricing, including where other systems and human review still matter.

Can Itiner replace my travel CRM?

Only partly, and on purpose. Itiner covers the itinerary, the quote, client acceptance, deposits and a pipeline that updates itself from your trips. It does not do lead scoring, marketing campaigns or supplier contracts.

Does Itiner support GST and TCS?

Yes. Add your GSTIN in Settings and set a GST rate (on the package or on your service fee) and a TCS rate per trip. The portal and PDF show each line and the total payable. Itiner never picks a rate for you.

Can I start from my DMC’s PDF?

Yes. Upload the PDF or paste its text on a new trip. Hotels, transfers and sightseeing become the days; supplier prices are never copied onto the itinerary.

What does Itiner cost?

Itiner has a free tier and paid plans starting at ₹1,500/month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day trial that needs no card.
