Once the demo is completed, one concern that we often get is that- “Software is perfectly fit and fulfilling the requirements but it seems very costly”. And we totally understand that it is fair to think about the price because software adaptation is a big milestone for any DMC & Travel business. Especially, when you’re running a travel business in the fast-paced tourism industry of 2025 (with wars raging globally, pandemic uncertainty, economic turmoils, plus tariffs restrictions leading to a capital crunch)— every rupee spent needs to have its ROI.
But do you really believe this question will help you select the right software for your company? Let’s discuss this in detail.
Is the software really expensive or do you need to change your perspective?
Having doubts about the price of the software and finding it expensive is fair but It is important to have balance in the Price & Impact lens while making the decision. Asking the right question is what you need to do while making the choice.
Cost and Return: Ask the Right Question
- Instead of asking- “Why is the system so costly”
- Ask- “How much time, energy, and money can this system save me every month?”
After understanding what it saves for you and the ROI your final decision will be more profitable, relevant and clear sighted. Because choosing the right software isn’t about picking the cheapest option, it’s about selecting the one that delivers real value.
Let us understand this will an example
Imagine you’re paying an employee ₹30,000 monthly.
Now, you invest ₹1,500 in software to make them more efficient. Your Total monthly cost shifts to ₹31,500.
Now, evaluate if the software saves your team 8 hours a week on itinerary creation, lead follow-ups, and coordination, that’s 32 hours a month. Now multiply that by your hourly value and team size.
Also with lower turn around time and handling more leads, you will get more bookings means more revenue and profit from the same employee.
And with this balanced lens of impact and price suddenly, the price isn’t a problem but the inefficiency is.
The software became a smart investment instead of an expense with the right evaluation.
Another Perspective of Evaluation
Flip your perspective of judgement and think about:
- “What does it cost to not have a proper system?”
- “Will the cheaper software really be profitable?”
Ask yourself: What is it costing me to operate without a proper system? Missed Positive Leads, Higher Turn around time, low conversion percentage: All impact your profit growth. And before choosing a cheaper alternative, think: Will it actually deliver results? Sometimes, what looks affordable upfront turns out to be the most expensive in the long run with hidden costs.
