How to Turn a B2B (DMC) Vendor Quote into a Branded Itinerary in 2 Minutes
Stop re-typing vendor PDFs. MoonTrip's AI-powered import extracts hotels, flights, and day-wise plans from any DMC quote — and generates a branded itinerary, GST invoice, and customer quote simultaneously.
The "Re-Typing Tax" Every Travel Agent Pays
A DMC (Destination Management Company) is a B2B wholesale travel company that packages local hotel, transport, and sightseeing services at net rates for travel agents to resell. Most Indian travel agents act as intermediaries — they receive a quote from a DMC, a B2B wholesaler, or a hotel consolidator and need to pass it to the end traveler in a professional format.
Here's what that typically looks like:
- •Vendor sends a PDF or WhatsApp message with hotel names, flight times, and a day-wise plan
- •Agent opens Word, Canva, or an Excel template
- •Manually re-types every hotel name, room type, meal plan, and check-in date
- •Copies flight details and transfer information line by line
- •Adds markup using a calculator, then formats the final price
- •Designs the itinerary to look professional — adds images, adjusts fonts, aligns columns
- •Creates a separate invoice in another tool
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Time per quote (avg) | 45 minutes |
| Quotes per day | 5 |
| Daily time lost | 3 hrs 45 min |
| Monthly (25 days) | 93+ hours |
| Monthly working days lost | 12 full days |
12 working days per month spent on data entry — not selling.
The MoonTrip Way: Intelligent B2B Mapping
MoonTrip eliminates the re-typing work entirely. Instead of manually copying vendor data, you use our AI-powered Import Logic to convert any B2B quote into a branded, editable quote in under 2 minutes.
Step 1: Smart Input Capture
Simply paste the raw text or upload the file received from your B2B partner. MoonTrip accepts:
- •Text paste: Copy from WhatsApp, email, or any document and paste directly
- •PDF upload: Upload the vendor's quote PDF — AI reads and extracts the content
- •Image upload: Take a photo of a printed quote or screenshot — OCR extracts the text
The AI engine automatically identifies:
- •Hotel names, star ratings, room types, and meal plans (CP/MAP/AP)
- •Flight segments with airline, flight number, timing, and class
- •Transfer and cab details (airport pickups, inter-city, sightseeing)
- •Day-wise itinerary plans with activities and descriptions
- •Pricing breakdowns — per person, per room, per night
Step 2: Select Customer — Details Auto-Fill
Once the vendor data is extracted, select your customer from the existing database. MoonTrip auto-fills:
- •Customer name and contact details — phone, email, address
- •GSTIN — for B2B invoicing with correct CGST/SGST or IGST split
- •Billing preferences — Pure Agent or Principal model
- •Advance balance — if the customer has existing credit, it's shown automatically
Step 3: Instant Branding — Your Logo, Not Theirs
MoonTrip doesn't just copy the vendor's text — it replaces the vendor's identity with yours:
- •Agency logo and colors — every quote and itinerary carries your branding
- •Vendor branding stripped — the DMC's name, logo, and contact details are removed
- •Contact details — your agency's phone, email, and address appear on every document
- •Professional formatting — clean typography, consistent layouts, proper spacing
Step 4: One-Click Markup Application
Add your margin without revealing the vendor's net rate to the customer:
| Service | Vendor Net | Selling Price | Hidden Markup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel (3N) | ₹24,000 | ₹36,000 | ₹12,000 (50%) |
| Cab / Transfers | ₹3,200 | ₹4,500 | ₹1,300 (40.6%) |
| Customer Invoice | |
|---|---|
| Rajasthan Package (Hotel 3N) | ₹36,000 |
| Cab / Transfers | ₹4,500 |
| Processing Fee | ₹2,500 |
| GST @18% on Proc. Fee | ₹450 |
| Customer Pays | ₹43,450 |
What the customer sees
| Internal EXT Invoice | |
|---|---|
| Hotel Vendor Cost | ₹24,000 |
| Hotel Markup | ₹12,000 (50%) |
| Cab Vendor Cost | ₹3,200 |
| Cab Markup | ₹1,300 (40.6%) |
| Processing Fee | ₹2,500 |
| GST @18% on Proc. Fee | ₹450 |
| Total | ₹43,450 |
| Your Margin | ₹15,800 |
What only you see
Profit bifurcation: Your ₹15,800 margin includes ₹12,000 hotel markup + ₹1,300 cab markup + ₹2,500 processing fee. Under Pure Agent billing, GST @18% applies on the entire margin (₹13,300 hidden markup) = ₹2,394 — but the customer only sees GST on the displayed fee (₹450). The remaining ₹2,394 is absorbed from your profit, making your net take-home ₹13,406. To settle this markup GST, you have two options: record it via a dual invoice (EXT invoice), or roll the amount forward into a future invoice.
The customer's quote shows the selling price. The Internal EXT Invoice tracks the actual vendor cost, markup, and net profit — visible only to your agency. Both invoices are 100% GST-compliant.
What Gets Generated — Simultaneously
From a single vendor quote import, MoonTrip generates three documents at once — all editable before you share them:
1. Branded Customer Quote
- •Your agency's logo and branding
- •Customer-facing prices (with your markup built in)
- •Day-wise itinerary summary
- •Terms and conditions
- •Shareable via WhatsApp, email, or as a PDF download
2. GST-Compliant Invoice
- •Correct HSN/SAC codes (996311 hotel, 996411 flights, 996422 cabs)
- •CGST/SGST or IGST split based on customer GSTIN
- •Pure Agent or Principal billing — your choice per quote
- •Processing fee and GST calculated automatically
- •GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B ready
3. Photo-Rich Itinerary
- •Day-wise plan with activity descriptions
- •Hotel details with room types and meal plans
- •Flight and transfer information
- •Editable — add, remove, or reorder any section before sharing
- •Professional PDF layout with your agency branding
After Import: Edit, Customize, and Share
The auto-populated quote is a starting point, not a final document. After import, you can:
- •Edit any line item — change hotel names, adjust pricing, modify descriptions
- •Add services — include activities, meals, or services that weren't in the vendor quote
- •Remove items — drop services the customer doesn't need
- •Adjust the itinerary — reorder days, add notes, customize the travel plan
- •Change billing model — switch between Pure Agent and Principal with one toggle
- •Apply discounts or commissions — adjusts GST calculations automatically
Smart Settlements After Booking
Once the customer confirms and the quote becomes a booking, MoonTrip's settlement features kick in:
- •Pending Payment Tracking: Monitor who owes what, with automated WhatsApp and email reminders
- •Customer Advance Application: If the customer has existing credit from a previous trip or cancellation, it's auto-applied
- •Ledger Reconciliation: Every payment, advance, and refund tracked in a per-customer ledger with running balances
- •Dual Invoice Generation: Customer-facing invoice + Internal margin invoice generated together, keeping markups private
Why Speed Is Your Best Sales Tool
In the travel industry, the agent who replies first usually wins the booking. When a customer is comparing quotes from 3 different agencies, the first one to send a professional, branded itinerary with clear pricing has a massive advantage.
