One Email. Five Outcomes.

1
Forward supplier confirmation → Smart Inbox → AutoReconcile
Email → Recon Booking

Agent forwards an email. Next time they open Recon, the booking is already there — and matched against the Diners statement.

2
Forward flight/hotel PDF → Smart Inbox → Aide Memoire
Email → Guest Itinerary

Agent forwards a confirmation. The guest's Aide Memoire now shows their flight details automatically — no copy-paste.

3
Forward any booking → Smart Inbox → Supplier Map
Email → Supplier Auto-Add

The system learns supplier names from forwarded emails and builds the database for you. No manual supplier entry.

4
Hotel replies to RFP → Smart Inbox → Side-by-side comparison
Hotel Reply → Quote Comparison

Hotels reply. AI parses rates, inclusions, and availability into a clean comparison table — no spreadsheet needed.

5
Upload PDF → Smart Inbox → Aide Memoire + Recon
PDF Upload → Dual Output

Upload a PDF. Guest itinerary and recon bookings both update simultaneously. One upload, two outcomes.

From Brief to Recon. One Platform.

GroupBook automates the manual steps that eat into your day — so you can focus on what matters: building relationships and winning business.

Common Questions

Who is GroupBook for? +
GroupBook is built for group travel professionals — travel agents, boutique agencies and travel management companies whose core business involves managing group accommodation, corporate group bookings, incentive travel and event logistics for multiple clients. If you manage groups, GroupBook was built for you.
What is the Smart Inbox? +
The Smart Inbox is GroupBook's AI-powered data engine. Forward any email or upload a PDF — the Smart Inbox classifies the email type automatically, extracts every booking detail (flights, hotel confirmations, car rental, transfers, invoices, PO approvals, hotel quotes) and routes the data simultaneously to reconciliation records, guest travel itineraries, and the hotel quote comparison screen. Works with any email format, any supplier, any subject line. Zero manual data entry.
How current is the hotel database? +
Every hotel in GroupBook is individually verified — groups email, phone number and conference capacity data. We verify directly with hotels and update records continuously. You'll never send an RFP to a bounced address.
Do hotels respond faster to GroupBook RFPs? +
Yes. Because GroupBook RFPs go directly to the verified groups inbox (not a generic reservations@ address), they reach the right person immediately — leading to faster, more accurate responses.
Can I try GroupBook before subscribing? +
Absolutely. Request a 15-minute demo and we'll walk you through the platform with your own clients and hotel preferences. No sales pressure, no commitment required.
Is my client data protected? +
GroupBook is fully POPIA-compliant. Your client data is stored securely and is never shared with hotels, third parties or other agents. You retain full ownership of your client relationships.
