A useful booking-software demonstration should show an adviser completing familiar work. Bring a fictional enquiry, a few awkward details and a clear definition of a finished task. The checks below help you assess practical benefits without relying on promises about time saved or sales won.

1. Check whether the search answers the enquiry

Use a sample family trip with specific dates, children’s ages, a room requirement and a spending limit. Ask the demonstrator to enter those details, explain the results and show which information still needs checking. Compare the outcome with the original brief, rather than counting how many results appeared.

Travelgenix’s booking widgets page describes live search and booking tools for a website. Use your demonstration to check the products, supplier access and customer journey included in the configuration you are considering.

2. Follow a quotation through to its next action

Prepare two options with a clear difference, such as another room type or departure date. Ask an adviser to build the quote, review its wording and check the total. Then open the customer version on a phone. Can you identify what is included, which option is selected and how to ask a question?

The Quick Quote overview describes importing holiday information and preparing branded quotes for an agent to check and send. It also distinguishes a single holiday saved from Travelify, which can continue to Travelify checkout, from other quotes where the customer asks the agent to book.

Test the route relevant to your business. Record whether the customer’s action starts a request or completes a booking, and ask what your team must do afterwards. That distinction belongs in your working instructions and customer wording.

3. Test a handover to another adviser

Stop the exercise halfway through and ask a colleague to continue it. Give them only the information that would normally be available in the proposed setup. Can they identify the customer’s requirements, the version being discussed and the next action?

Note anything the first adviser has to explain separately. Ask where that information should live and who can access it. This is a practical way to assess whether the workflow supports your team, including the handovers that happen during leave or a busy afternoon.

4. Introduce one change and one failure

Change the departure date or remove a requested item. Ask the demonstrator to show the revised information and explain what happens to anything already sent to the customer. Check the totals and wording again instead of assuming the earlier checks still apply.

Then ask for a safe test of an unsuccessful step, using a demonstration environment where appropriate. Find out what the adviser sees, how they know whether to retry and who handles the exception. A clear recovery process is part of evaluating the service; do not make a real payment or reservation merely to test a screen.

5. Record the result, then confirm the package

Give each check a simple outcome: demonstrated, needs clarification or unavailable in the proposed setup. Add a note explaining why it matters to your agency. Avoid combining these into an impressive-looking score that hides a missing essential requirement.

Compare those notes with the current Travelgenix pricing information and request written confirmation of the plan, extras and implementation work needed. Your decision should reflect the demonstrated setup and its full cost.

Next step: book a Travelgenix demonstration and share your test enquiry in advance. Keep the completed checklist so your team can repeat it before launch.
