Agents get fast access to hotel and flight content, and your team keeps its own markups, credit rules and customer structures.

THE AGENCY DAY-TO-DAY

Sound familiar?

Agencies do not need a rebuild. They need the tools around the business to work together.

Our agents switch between supplier sites to build one quote.

Every extra login slows the sale. Agents need hotel and flight content in one place.

Bookings live in one tool, customers in another, suppliers in a spreadsheet.

Nobody sees the whole booking, and reporting means asking around.

Finance re-types what the agent already entered.

Repeated manual entry costs time and creates mismatches between the booking and the books.

The software decides how we price and who we buy from.

A fixed operating model cannot follow your markups, credit rules and customer structures.

Arabic is an afterthought, and our customers notice.

Customers and staff across the GCC should work in English or Arabic without friction.

We want to modernise, but not lose what already works.

Your supplier relationships, client terms and ways of working are the business. The technology should fit around them.

QUESTIONS

Questions before you decide

Do we have to change how our agency works?

Not to fit the software. Blackrock is configurable rather than a one-size-fits-all template: you choose your suppliers, markups, credit rules and customer structures instead of adopting a fixed operating model, and our engineers customise workflows, branding, search behaviour, integrations and finance around the way your agency operates.

Can we keep our own suppliers, contracts and rates?

Yes. Blackrock Connect can bring negotiated or direct content together with third-party suppliers, from more than 200 supplier connections, and you choose which supplier content each client sees.

Does it work in Arabic for our staff and customers?

Yes. English and Arabic are designed natively, with right-to-left layout, navigation, dates and labels. Our booking products support eight languages: English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.

Will finance still have to re-enter bookings?

The aim is no repeated manual entry. Bookings can feed statements, invoices, credit and accounting integrations, and Blackrock is a TRAACS certified integration partner for integrated travel accounting. The exact workflow is configured around your business and your accounting system.

How long does it take to go live, and what support do we get?

Delivery is hybrid: you configure the platform yourself while our engineers handle everything specific to your agency, and you can go live in 2–6 weeks. Timelines vary with scope, suppliers and custom work. Local support is available 24/7.
