Why Agencies are Replacing Traditional Travel Platforms with Routespring

As a modern travel agency, your edge lies in the ability to move fast, stay flexible, and deliver a personalized experience to every client. But when your technology doesn’t keep up, it quickly turns into your biggest liability.

Many agencies today are still stuck with legacy / TMC travel management for agencies platforms—built for an earlier era of corporate travel. These platforms were originally designed for large enterprises managing internal travel, not for nimble, customer-focused agencies. While they may be widely adopted, the reality is that they weren’t made with your business model in mind.

And that’s why a growing number of agencies are turning to Routespring—a platform designed specifically for how agencies book, manage, and support travel today.

🧱 The Problem with Traditional TMC Travel Management Platforms for Agencies

Let’s look at what life is like for many agencies using a traditional system:

• You refer your clients to the platform—but lose control over the experience.
• You have to rely on their support channels—even though your clients come to you with complaints.
• You deal with clunky workflows, limited customization, and slow changes.
• You face fare discrepancies—clients seeing cheaper prices online than in your platform.
• You’re spending more time fixing tech problems than creating value for clients.

In short, the tools that are supposed to help you manage travel are actually getting in the way.

These platforms may have once seemed like a safe bet—but now, they’re a drag on your agency’s efficiency, margins, and reputation.

🤝 You Deserve a Platform That Works for You

If your current travel platform is holding you back, it’s time to ask yourself:

• Are we spending too much time on workarounds?
• Do we really own the client relationship?
• Are we offering our clients the best traveler experience possible?
• Could we manage more clients if our technology actually helped?

If the answer is yes, then you owe it to your agency—and your clients—to explore a better way.

Routespring is not just another travel tool. It’s a platform built to elevate your agency, not replace it.
