The Layer-Protection Commitment
Travel Logistics — Diners card reconciliation, accommodation portals, airline manifests, payment gateway — is available in the Travel Agency product line only. Event Agencies and Corporates appoint a Travel Agency on the event; they cannot replace one. This is structural, not a marketing promise. GroupBook will never use one customer type to undercut another.

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.

Common Questions

Who is GroupBook for? +
GroupBook serves three types of organisations who work together on group travel events. Travel Agencies (ITCs, boutique agencies, TMCs) source hotels, manage travel logistics — flights, accommodation, transfers — and reconcile card statements. Event Agencies orchestrate events, manage RSVPs, sub-events, dietary and guest communications — and appoint their Travel Agency partner to handle logistics. Corporates commission events and see everything their appointed agencies are doing in real time. Each type sees only their own slice of the work — no one is forced to act outside their actual role.
We're an event management company — can GroupBook replace IT-em? +
For events up to 200–500 PAX, yes. GroupBook's RSVP module covers invitations, sub-events, dietary, entitlements, and guest portals. The Event Agency product line (Boutique R1,499, Studio R2,999) is built specifically for this use case — at a flat monthly subscription instead of a per-event fee. For very large events (500+ PAX, complex multi-country) where IT-em is already embedded, GroupBook can ingest their confirmed-attendee list and manage travel logistics downstream.
We're a corporate events team — do we need to pay? +
Not if your travel agency and event management company are already on GroupBook. The Corporate Visibility tier is free — you get a live portal into every event your suppliers are running on your behalf. You only pay (from R2,499/mo) if you want to run your own events in GroupBook directly — RSVP, guest management, dietary, Aide Mémoire — without appointing a specialist supplier.
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 document 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. 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.
Will GroupBook put travel agents out of business by serving corporates directly? +
No — and this is a commitment, not just a promise. Travel Logistics (Diners card reconciliation, accommodation portals, flights, transfers, payment gateway) is structurally exclusive to the Travel Agency product line. A corporate cannot buy Travel Logistics from GroupBook. An event agency cannot buy it either. The platform is designed so that the more event agencies and corporates use GroupBook, the more they need a Travel Agency partner to handle the logistics layer — which GroupBook facilitates via the Roles tab. GroupBook grows the pie for travel agents, not against them.
