Booking Lifecycle Management¶
The Booking Lifecycle Management (BLM) module is the core of TQPro. It enables travel agents to create and manage bookings for customers across all service types -- hotels, flights, transfers, activities, cruises, visas, and more.
What You Can Do¶
- Create bookings manually or from search results via the shopping cart
- Track bookings through a complete lifecycle from enquiry to completion
- Manage service lines, passengers, payments, and documents
- Generate travel vouchers and send them to customers
- Work with automated action checklists to ensure nothing is missed
- Sell seats on outbound group departures
- Monitor system health via the admin maintenance dashboard
