From first enquiry to final payment
Travel agency workflow with less retyping from enquiry to payment
Start with an enquiry recorded in WauHub. Carry useful customer and trip details into the quotation, booking, and invoice so each team can continue the work.
Linked records
Lead, quotation, booking, customer, and invoice stay linked, so you can trace each one.
Clear person in charge
Give the next step to the right staff member.
Less retyping
Carry the work forward instead of keying it in again at every step.
The booking is confirmed, but operations still has to start from scratch
“Dah siap belum?”
The answer depends on who you ask. Sales knows the chat. Finance knows the deposit. Operations needs the rooming and travel details. When each team keeps its own file, things go missing when the file changes hands.
What usually goes wrong
If one simple answer needs five WhatsApp messages and three Excel files, it is costing you more than you think.
Leads go quiet
Enquiries sink under newer WhatsApp messages before anyone follows up.
Details lost when passing the file
The agreed price, travel dates, and customer notes are copied by hand into another sheet.
Owners cannot see what is stuck
It is hard to tell which sales are stuck, which are won, and which are still unpaid.
One trip followed from first enquiry to fully paid
This example uses sample data. In your account, you will see your own customers, bookings, and settings.
One connected journey
From first hello to wheels up.
The details move. Your team does not retype them.
Each step picks up from the one before
WauHub keeps every step linked, from enquiry to payment. Your team still makes the decisions and talks to the customer.
Start with a clear enquiry
Staff add the lead details, or customers submit your enquiry form, so there is a shared starting point for follow-up.
Pass on what the customer agreed
Keep the quotation with the booking so operations can check the trip details without asking sales to explain again.
Follow through to the balance
Keep invoices and recorded payments with the booking so finance can see what is still owed.
From enquiry to payment, before and after
Every time someone retypes the details, a date, price, or name can change by mistake.
| Task | WhatsApp and spreadsheets | With WauHub |

What operations needs next depends on the type of trip
A confirmed private trip is passed to operations differently from a group booking or a seat on a fixed departure. WauHub carries what sales agreed into the right booking.
- Private trip (FIT)Still needs confirming
- The customer has accepted the quotation, but dates, supplier space, or final arrangements may still need follow-up.
- Group tour (GIT)Details keep changing
- Pax count, rooming, payments, and supplier commitments can change at different times after confirmation.
- Fixed departure (SD)One sale affects the whole departure
- Each seat sold changes the seats left for everyone else on that date.
Your MOTAC licence category decides what your agency can operate. WauHub organises the sales and operations work within your own setup.
Questions agency owners ask us
Straight answers before you change how your team works.
Does WauHub replace WhatsApp?
No. Your team keeps using WhatsApp to talk to customers. WauHub is where everyone checks the status, who is in charge, the documents, and the next step.
Can a quotation become a booking?
Yes. You can convert a quotation into a booking, and the two records stay linked. Staff can open the booking and see the quotation it came from.
Can I use only part of the workflow first?
Yes. Many agencies start with the part that gives them the most trouble, then move more of their work into WauHub when the team is ready.

Start with how you sell, then carry the useful details into booking preparation, payment collection, and each staff member's tasks.
