The reality

Travel agencies in Sri Lanka are losing leads to slow replies.

These are common patterns from solo day-tour operators to multi-branch DMCs. The right first workflow depends on enquiry volume, team structure, systems, and approval constraints.

1

Peak-season enquiries compete for agent attention

Questions about prices, availability, day tours and airport transfers can arrive together while agents are also building complex itineraries. A structured first response and clear routing can help the team prioritise without pretending every enquiry is the same.

2

After-hours enquiries need a clear first response

Diaspora and international guests may message outside Colombo working hours. An approved acknowledgement can collect the essentials and set an honest expectation for when a travel specialist will respond.

3

Same questions, answered manually, every single day

Questions such as “What is the price for a Sigiriya day tour from Colombo?” are repeatable when the underlying itinerary and price source are approved. Automating that first step can leave unusual routes and negotiated bookings with experienced staff.

How it works

Discovery, build, testing, then a controlled launch.

  1. 01

    Discovery & readiness

    We review the enquiry examples you are authorised to share, map priority journeys to your itineraries and pricing, and agree the FAQ and handoff scope before build work starts.

  2. 02

    Build & provider onboarding

    We support WhatsApp Business Platform onboarding and build the approved knowledge, lead-capture, and agent-handoff workflows. Meta, the selected provider, and your business control verification and approval decisions.

  3. 03

    Acceptance testing

    Your team reviews in-scope journeys for tone, accuracy, pricing, fallback, and handoff behaviour. Launch waits for the agreed acceptance checks and required approvals.

  4. 04

    Controlled launch & review

    We stage the cutover and review the agreed launch sample, reporting, and tuning cadence. Monitoring volume, dashboard access, support coverage, and post-launch changes follow the selected package and written scope.

Pricing

Published starting prices, with scope confirmed before work begins.

Features below are package-specific. Provider approval, reporting access, monitoring volume, tuning, integrations, and support coverage are confirmed in the written scope before work begins.

FAQ

WhatsApp automation questions, answered

How does the AI handle complex itinerary or pricing questions?
The approved knowledge base can cover routine questions such as published pricing, availability guidance, day-tour details, hotel options, and transfers. Coverage is tested against your enquiry history; complex custom itineraries are routed to a human agent with context rather than assigned a fixed automation percentage.
Will this replace my travel agents?
No. The goal is to reduce repetitive first-line work and give agents clearer context for higher-value bookings. Your team remains responsible for complex itineraries, exceptions, availability confirmation, and commercial decisions.
Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account first?
No. We support Meta Business setup, phone-number onboarding, and template submission. Meta and the selected provider control verification and approval timing, so delivery dates are confirmed after account review. You keep ownership of the approved business assets.
What languages does it understand and reply in?
AI Sales & Support includes configured English, Tamil, and Sinhala support based on approved business sources and tested language journeys. Detection, phrasing, uncertainty handling, fallback, translation ownership, and human review are confirmed during acceptance testing; no language or accuracy result is assumed for every message.
What happens if a customer asks something the AI does not know?
The AI uses an approved fallback, flags the conversation for staff, and preserves the context for follow-up. Unanswered questions are reviewed during the agreed tuning cycle; no fixed unknown-rate target is promised before real usage is measured.
Can it integrate with my booking system or CRM?
Yes, within Integrated Automation Pro or a custom Enterprise scope. We first confirm that the booking system or CRM exposes a suitable API and agree the data, permissions, failure handling, and support boundaries.
What is the typical ROI and payback period?
Payback depends on enquiry volume, current response time, booking value, staff adoption, and conversion tracking. During discovery we baseline missed follow-up and repetitive work, then define measurable targets for reply coverage, handoff quality, qualified leads, and bookings without guaranteeing a revenue multiple or payback date.
Can you keep the AI in our brand voice?
Yes. During discovery we review the material you are authorised to share, then prepare responses for your approval before launch. The tuning cadence and support coverage are confirmed in the selected package and written scope.
