Inspire has unveiled two new pieces of technology that it says will ‘empower homeworkers to become data-led travel entrepreneurs’.
The tools were showcased at Inspire’s conference this week in Majorca, attended by 50 agents.
The first piece of technology is an upgrade to Inspire’s Homeworking Portal, which has been expanded from a simple commission tracking tool into a ‘comprehensive business intelligence suite’.
Agents can now use it to access live performance dashboards; run data reports to analyse booking trends and track key metrics in real-time, such as average booking value, holiday duration and top-performing destinations, then run marketing campaigns based on the data. They can also benchmark their performance on a live leaderboard.
Inspire CEO Lisa Henning said: “This represents a fundamental shift in how we empower our team of Independent Travel Associates.
“While traditional head office models restrict reporting to admin teams, we’re putting analytical control directly in the hands of each agent. They can now identify what’s selling, pull ready-made marketing assets, and launch targeted campaigns within minutes, not days.”
The second tool is a portal allowing agents to book out-of-range flights and receive automatic notifications when flights go on sale.
“This technology showcases our commitment to developing practical solutions that directly enhance profitability and customer confidence,” said Lisa.
“We’re not just providing tools; we’re removing obstacles that have historically limited our agents’ ability to serve their clients.”
