You run outstation tour packages — Shimla-Manali circuits, Kerala backwater runs, Rajasthan Golden Triangle trips, South India temple tours. Travel Softdrive gives you multi-stop duty slips, seasonality-aware rate cards, a tool to manage the partner suppliers you already work with in cities where you do not own vehicles, and GST-compliant consolidated invoicing — in one platform.

Without it
- ×A 7-day Shimla-Manali package involves four drivers, three hotels, and two airport pickups — and somehow it all lives in one master Excel sheet that three people edit simultaneously
- ×Your rate for a Innova in July is different from November, different again in peak December, and holiday rates compound on top — and still you quote from memory
- ×For Srinagar and Gangtok you do not own cars, so you WhatsApp a local partner and pray their driver knows the pickup — no SLA, no ledger, no peace of mind
- ×Multi-stop duty slips are typed in Word with the itinerary copied each time, and the guest signs the paper at the end — good luck reconciling that against the final bill
- ×A corporate MICE booking for 40 people across 5 vehicles needs one consolidated GST-compliant invoice, and your accounts team assembles it from five separate duty sheets

What's inside
Multi-stop duty slips
A single booking can carry an itinerary with multiple waypoints — hotel pickup, temple, restaurant, photo-stop, next-night hotel. Each stop is time-stamped, GPS-verified, and included in the duty slip. Multi-leg chains carry a root-trip reference so the whole package rolls up cleanly.
Seasonal rate management
Rate charts with date-range rules: peak December in Goa, monsoon discount in Kerala, Diwali surge in Rajasthan. Holiday calendars stack on top. Rate approval workflow keeps your sales team from quietly slipping in discounts mid-season.
Manage partners for non-fleet cities
Your Jaipur base does not need to own cars in Udaipur. Your existing Udaipur partner — the one you already call — covers that leg; you see margin before accepting; the partnership lifecycle (invite, accept, active, pause) gives you clean visibility. Manual suppliers without accounts are supported via guest-driver PDA links. The platform does not find or suggest new suppliers — you onboard the partners you already trust.
Airport & hotel coordination
Live flight-status tracking auto-adjusts airport pickup when a flight delays by 90 minutes. Hotel-to-hotel transfers are scheduled from the itinerary. Your driver gets the guest's flight status before the guest does.
Package booking management
Fixed-amount package bookings, daily-rate circuits, and mixed models all supported. Multi-leg booking chains keep the whole package together; guest detail management covers dietary preferences, companion count, and special requests.
GST-compliant consolidated invoicing
One package, one consolidated GST-compliant invoice with e-invoice IRN. Place-of-supply handled correctly across inter-state legs. Credit and debit notes for itinerary changes mid-tour. Third-party invoice mapping for corporate MICE customers.
Supplier margin & settlement
Every forwarded leg has a customer-billing rate and a supplier-cost rate. The margin is visible at booking time and audited at invoice time. Supplier settlement cycles reconcile cleanly with your accounting books.
Driver & guest coordination
Driver accept/reject on mobile, guest-shared OTP at each checkpoint, driver connection model for drivers who work across operators, and the PDA guest-driver link for one-off drivers in remote cities. Everyone involved sees the same itinerary.
A Delhi-based Rajasthan and Himachal package operator
Anand runs Tripti Tours from Delhi. His bread-and-butter is 5-to-9-day Rajasthan circuits (Delhi-Jaipur-Pushkar-Jodhpur-Udaipur) and Himachal packages (Delhi-Shimla-Manali-Dharamshala). He owns 14 vehicles in Delhi and NCR; everything else runs through partner operators in Jaipur, Udaipur, and Manali. Before Travel Softdrive, every package meant a shared Excel sheet, three WhatsApp groups, and a prayer. Now: when a 7-day Rajasthan booking for Mr. Mehta's family lands, Anand creates one master booking with six waypoints. The Delhi-Jaipur leg stays in-house; Jaipur onward forwards to his own Jaipur partner (the one he has worked with for years); the Udaipur-Delhi return-flight pickup forwards to a second partner he already uses. Rate cards apply automatically — December peak on Jaipur, standard on Pushkar, holiday surcharge on 25 December which falls in the trip. Each driver handover is logged with OTP and odometer photo; the guest approves each leg on the app. The flight from Udaipur back to Delhi is delayed 70 minutes — the pickup at Delhi airport auto-shifts, the driver knows before Mr. Mehta lands. On Day 8, one consolidated GST-compliant invoice for Rs 1.38 lakh with e-invoice IRN goes out. Supplier settlements — Rs 41,000 to the Jaipur partner, Rs 18,500 to Udaipur — are on the next Friday's payout run. Mr. Mehta emails five stars. Anand forwards to his team and takes the rest of the evening off.

Frequently asked questions
Can the platform handle packages where we include hotels and flights, not just transport?+
Our strength is the ground-transport spine of a package — duties, waypoints, supplier coordination, and GST invoicing. Hotel and flight legs can be captured as line items on the package with reference numbers, but the inventory and booking of hotels/flights typically sits in your existing TMS or is done manually. Many operators pair us with a separate booking engine for air/hotel.
How do we manage seasonality when rates change mid-tour — a peak-season rate kicks in during a 10-day package?+
Rate snapshots freeze the rate at the point of duty calculation, so a duty on 24 December uses the 24 December rate, while the one on 26 December uses the peak rate — automatically. The consolidated invoice shows the breakdown so guests and your accounts team see exactly what applied when.
What about cities where we have no partner yet — can we still take the booking?+
Yes. Manual supplier support lets you register a local vendor or driver you found through a referral — the platform issues a PDA (guest-driver access) link via SMS, the driver operates the duty with OTP verification without needing an account, and you keep the booking and the invoice. Later, if the vendor becomes a regular, you can convert them into a network partner.
Our packages include tips, toll reimbursements, and sightseeing entry fees. Does the billing handle those?+
Yes. Duty-level allowances — night halt, driver bata, toll, parking, entry fees — are first-class billing components. They appear on the duty slip and roll up correctly into GST-compliant invoicing. For fixed-amount packages, the all-inclusive amount is captured with a breakdown stored for the audit.
We do MICE — corporate group movements with 20-plus vehicles over 3 days. Is that a standard use case?+
Yes. MICE events are modelled as a block booking with multiple child duties, shared cost-centre and GST details, and one consolidated invoice at end-of-event. Vehicle and driver allocation can be done in bulk; real-time tracking shows the whole convoy on one map; the event organiser gets a single sign-off report.
