Schedule your Calendar

With your own calendar software, you can easily manage your bookings and update your tours.

Unlike SaaS apps, you will not be paying to use their calendar software with little to no customizability available. With our Booking Solution, you own the software and you can customise your calendar to suit your business needs.

You can run multiple tours on a daily, weekly, bi-monthly or custom basis. We also offer multiple unique calendar events to suit the style of tours and events you wish to run.

Finally you are always in control of your tours 24/7 with our powerful and user-friendly Admin System.

Developed for Tour Guides

Tour Guide App

Using your own dedicated tour guide app, your tour guides can keep on top of day-to-day activities, check their calendar and manage their tours.

Other features include allowing guides to send notifications to management on issues that can then be related to other tour guides. Also, the app can be used to get signed e-forms from clients and also automate feedback forms.

Your office staff can keep track of all tour guides on their central admin system where they can send one to one messages to guides or broadcast messages to all of your guides.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this a SaaS or Custom Software product?

    It is the best of both worlds. It is better to think of Tour Booking Software’s platform, ThunderBolt, as in between the two extremes of SaaS and Custom Software. With SaaS, you are one of many people using the software which means that you do not own the IP or data. With Custom Software, you have to start from scratch and this will include a much higher cost. With ThunderBolt, you can customise modules and applications that have already been developed and tested. Also, with ThunderBolt, you own the IP and data.

  • What is ThunderBolt?

    Tour Booking Software has been developed using Tentacle Solution’s powerful ThunderBolt platform. ThunderBolt allows your business to run multiple business applications on a single powerful platform. This means that your data throughout all departments and applications remains in one central database. ThunderBolt’s primary purpose is to serve any industry that needs a modern but intuitively usable software package for their staff.

  • Will we be sacrificing any features or functionality by moving away from a SaaS solution?

    The major difference your staff will notice is the user interface. However, there are many reasons ThunderBolt is better than your current SaaS solution. You will find the biggest reason for choosing Tour Booking Software is that your staff are not using the same platform as other companies. This means your staff will not find any bandwidth or memory issues. Also, you are not constrained by monthly licence fees nor by the fact that your sensitive data is being held along with hundreds of other companies’ data. Finally, the entire platform will be branded and customised for your company which in essence means that it will become one of your company’s most valuable assets.

  • How will our user facing website be integrated?

    Tour Booking Software comes integrated with a comprehensive list of API libraries. Our APIs will help your web developers fluidly integrate with the data and functionality in your Tour Booking Software.

  • Who will control the data we upload into ThunderBolt?

    Your Tour Booking Software has an easy to use data uploader which will allow you to take your historic data and upload into your new system within minutes.

  • Can we add other ThunderBolt apps after we deploy?

    Yes. At any time you can "bolt" on other ThunderBolt applications with no downtime to your current software.

  • Is it possible to leave Tour Booking Software and take all of my company's data?

    Tour Booking Software belongs to you and of course if you want to stop using it, you can. All the data is still yours which can be downloaded 24/7.

  • We would like to discuss our project - what is the best way forward?

    Get in touch with our sales team today and they will arrange for our Info Pack to be sent to you. They will also demo the system for you over a video call. From there, they will discuss what aspects you can customise and your delivery options.

  • Who will host the solution?

    You can either choose to host Tour Booking Software on your own server or you can get Tentacle to host for you. You can also at any point change servers.

  • How fast can our software be deployed?

    Depending on the customisation required, Tour Booking Software can be deployed within 24 hours.

  • Do you provide any support when our system is LIVE?

    All our products come with a 12 month warranty. We also have a multi-tiered support team that will be ready to help you at any time.

  • Are we tied to Tentacle Solutions for our future development?

    The advantage to selecting ThunderBolt is that you will always be in control of your system’s code and I.P. This means you will be able to easily move your system to another provider/development company.
