Hey everyone 👋 I'm Stephen Scott, Founder & CEO of Travel Hub 365 and creator of the Odyssey Travel App (which just won a Silver Magellan Award from Travel Weekly 🏆). We’ve spent years helping travel advisors and agencies run more efficiently, but one pain point kept coming up: CRMs weren’t designed for how the travel industry actually works. So, we built Collab CRM — a next-generation, AI-powered CRM built exclusively for travel professionals. It unifies client management, supplier collaboration, automation, and analytics — all in one smart workspace. 🌍 Whether you’re an independent advisor or part of a multi-office agency, Collab CRM helps you scale smarter and focus on what matters most: building relationships and creating unforgettable travel experiences. Would love your feedback! How does your team currently manage clients, groups, and supplier partnerships? What would make your workflow easier? 🔗 https://www.collabtravelcrm.com 💬 We’re live on Product Hunt today — your support means the world! 🙏 #TravelTech #AI #CRM #Productivity #CollabCRM

Here's a ready-to-post update:

🚀 8-Week Post-Launch Update: Collab CRM is accelerating

Since launching in October, we've shipped significant platform upgrades that expand our TAM and deepen our moat:

Platform Expansion

  • Segment CDP Integration — We're now a native Segment destination, unlocking enterprise data pipelines and positioning Collab as the central travel CRM in complex martech stacks

  • Unified Lead Inbox — Multi-channel (email, SMS, WhatsApp, web) lead capture with SLA automation. Travel agencies can now consolidate all prospect communication in one place

  • Zapier Integration — 6,000+ app connectivity means agencies can wire Collab into their existing tools without code

AI Differentiation

  • 8 Specialized AI Agents — We've built purpose-built agents for deal scoring, contract risk analysis, vendor matching, and automated daily briefings. This is vertical AI at work—models trained on travel-specific workflows, not generic GPT wrappers

Product-Led Growth Levers

  • PWA Mobile App — Advisors can now install Collab directly to their phone. Zero App Store friction

  • Role-Based Dashboards — Agency owners, ops leads, and advisors each see personalized metrics and workflows on login

  • Visual Proposal Pipeline — Replaced traditional quotes with a Kanban board featuring magazine-style client portals. Higher advisor engagement, better close rates

What's Next We're doubling down on AI-powered revenue intelligence and expanding distribution partnerships. The travel advisory market is $50B+ and still running on spreadsheets—we're building the platform that changes that.

Appreciate everyone who's supported us since launch! 🙌

Collab Travel CRM: From AI-Assisted to Agentic Autonomy 🚀

Since our launch on Dec 17, we haven’t just fixed bugs—we’ve redesigned the workflow of travel. Collab is now the first CRM that doesn't just store your data; it acts on it autonomously.

What’s changed in the last 70 days?

  • 🤖 Meet the Compass Crew (9 AI Agents): We’ve moved beyond chatbots. Our 9 specialized agents (Vision, Finance, TourOps, etc.) are built on the WebMCP standard, giving them 64+ browser-native tools to handle reconciliation, RFPs, and disruption monitoring while you sleep.

  • 🏢 The Trade Partner Hub: We’ve deployed a proprietary 14-table B2B schema. This is a first-of-its-kind infrastructure that connects advisors and suppliers (hotels, cruises, DMCs) in a single transaction layer with real-time ROI tracking.

  • ⚡ Velocity & Scale: We’ve hit a 33% user growth surge this month alone. Our ecosystem now manages 1,265+ traveler profiles and 282 connected suppliers, proving that "Agentic" is the new industry standard.

  • 🔗 Enterprise-Ready Integrations: We are now in Segment Partner Beta, allowing our users to sync their CRM data across 300+ enterprise tools including Customer.io and Stripe Connect.

Why we’re different: Most travel tech is a digital filing cabinet. Collab is a System of Action. We are removing the "clerical" from travel work so advisors can focus on the "human."

We want your feedback! We’re building the infrastructure for the $800B travel market. Check out our new Investor & Growth portal to see our real-time velocity log and tell us what we should automate next.
