RepBud - The AI sales companion built for travel industry

RepBud is a sales companion built exclusively for travel industry professionals — the reps, BDMs and account managers who sell safari lodges, hotels and destinations to tour operators and agents. Unlike generic CRMs, RepBud understands the travel trade: field notes from site visits, briefings before operator meetings, email and WhatsApp triage, client intelligence and trade show prep — all in one place. Available on iOS, Android and web. Free tier included.
