PragmaticTours
Limited beta — 10 agencies accepted

Dispatch Smarter.
Dispatch Faster.

Stop losing hours to spreadsheet scheduling. PragmaticTours checks licenses, driving hours, and language coverage automatically, proposes the best driver, guide, and vehicle for every tour, and waits for your approval before anything is confirmed.

Logistics Debt

"Why does dispatching 5 tours feel like 50?"

You're not failing. Your tools are.

Manual spreadsheets, fragmented communication, and "tribal knowledge" are hidden taxes on your growth. They are the reason you can't take on more bookings without triple-counting your administrative overhead.

Spreadsheet Spaghetti

Version conflicts, broken formulas, and the daily copy-paste dance.

Fragmented Comms

WhatsApp groups, text threads, and "did you see my message?"

Tribal Knowledge

When the ops manager is off, nobody knows where the 12-seater is.

The Agency's Nervous System

Pragmatic Tours provides the backbone for operations.

Rules the law cares about

Every proposed driver and captain is checked against license type and daily/weekly hour limits before they're suggested — not after. A preferred operator who's about to go into overtime gets skipped automatically, no exceptions.

Fewest vehicles, or cheapest fleet — you choose

Run Minimize Resources mode to keep your fleet free for other bookings, or flip to Minimize Cost mode to get the cheapest combination of vehicles and staff that still meets every license and language requirement. Same constraints, different priority.

The same guide, every day of the package

On multi-day tours, the optimizer keeps yesterday's guide today whenever they're available — continuity wins over a cheaper option every time. Your guests get one familiar face for the whole trip, not a new stranger each morning.

Cruise and charter manifests, without the CSV fight

Upload the passenger list you already get from the ship or charter operator. Rows that don't match a tour code get flagged, not silently dropped — assign them on the spot or spin up the missing tour product in one click.

Nothing ships without your approval

The optimizer proposes. You decide. Every time.

1

Run Optimize Day

One click analyzes every tour on the board and proposes drivers, guides, and vehicles — checking availability, licenses, hours, and language coverage across your whole day at once, not tour by tour.

2

Review the draft

Every proposal lands as a Draft, never Confirmed automatically. If a requirement can't be met — no licensed captain available, everyone's over their hours — you see an explicit warning naming exactly what's missing, not a silent gap.

3

Accept, reject, or fix it yourself

Accept everything at once or go proposal by proposal. Reject anything that doesn't work and assign manually instead. Once accepted, staff get notified automatically — you never have to make the call yourself.

Know your real margin, not just your bookings

Two reports, built for how tour agencies actually get paid.

Financial Report

Revenue, staff cost, vehicle cost, and net profit per tour, for any date range. Cancelled tours show as $0 instead of quietly inflating your totals. Export to CSV — ready for QuickBooks, Xero, or your own sheet.

Payable Report

A clean list of what you owe freelance staff and contracted vehicles this pay period — gig or hourly, owned or contracted, confirmed work only. Cancelled assignments never show up here, so you never pay for a tour that didn't run.

Built for Tour Operators
