This page is for companies that move people. A school charter, a wedding limo run, a city shuttle contract and a multi-day tour all follow the same shape: an enquiry becomes a booking, the booking gets an itinerary and a deposit, a driver and a vehicle get assigned, the trip runs, and the invoice goes out afterwards. Odoo keeps that whole chain in one record instead of a booking sheet in one tool, a driver roster in another, and invoicing rebuilt in a spreadsheet at month end.
The page is deliberately narrow. Freight, warehousing and goods movement are covered on our supply chain management page, because that is a different workflow; and Odoo is not a hotel property management system, so room inventory and hotel channel managers are out of scope here. What this page covers is tours, charters, shuttles, transfers and every other passenger transportation business with its own fleet.
The same chain runs from first enquiry to paid invoice, and every step writes to one trip record:
Bookings arrive from the website, the phone and corporate or school accounts, and each one lands in the same place with dates, pickup and drop-off, passenger count and vehicle class. Availability is checked against real capacity, so two groups can never be sold the same 55-seat coach on the same morning. Deposits are taken online, confirmations and change notices go out automatically, and a cancellation or date move updates one record instead of a booking sheet, an email thread and a spreadsheet that no longer agree.
Tour and charter operators run around the clock, and the schedule only holds if the right driver is free, licensed and paid correctly. Odoo keeps driver records with licence classes and expiry dates, schedules shifts against confirmed trips, tracks hours and time off, and feeds approved hours into payroll. Hiring, contracts and leave sit in the same system as the dispatch board, so staffing and operations stop living in separate files.
Every tour operator has vehicles that must be on the road, insured and roadworthy. Odoo holds each vehicle's odometer, registration and insurance expiry dates, engine details, fuel and running costs, and schedules preventive maintenance so a breakdown does not take a coach out of service in peak season. Vehicles are assigned to trips from the same record, which makes utilization and cost per vehicle measurable trip by trip instead of guessed at.
Charter business runs on repeat accounts such as schools, churches, corporate offsites and wedding parties, and on leads that need follow-up before the season starts. Odoo CRM tracks each enquiry from first quote to confirmed booking, records every conversation against the account, and schedules the follow-up. Quotes for group travel go out from the system, and a won booking converts without re-entering customer details anywhere else.
O2B Technologies is a certified Odoo partner, and we implement Odoo for companies whose work is bookings, schedules, vehicles and billing. Travel and transport teams we have worked with cut travel expense submission time by 60% by consolidating expenses into one report (case study), raised customer response rates by 40% with automated SMS and WhatsApp updates through Twilio (case study), and reached 100% payment-to-record synchronisation with Stripe payments in Odoo (case study).
On the integration side, we migrate operators off QuickBooks into Odoo, connect Stripe and Authorize.net for booking deposits and final payments, and set up Twilio for trip confirmations, pickup reminders and driver updates. You get one system for bookings, drivers, fleet and invoicing, implemented by a team that has delivered these connections for businesses like yours.
Yes. Odoo Website publishes tour and charter pages with online booking, availability is checked against real seat and vehicle capacity, and Stripe or Authorize.net takes the deposit or full payment at booking. The booking lands in the same record your dispatch team schedules from.
Confirmed bookings appear on the Odoo planning board, where a dispatcher assigns a driver and a vehicle, checks driver hours and licence records, and adjusts for changes. Driver hours, time off and payroll run in the same system, so the roster and the trip schedule cannot drift apart.
Yes. Each vehicle record holds odometer, registration and insurance expiry dates, engine details, fuel and running costs, with preventive maintenance scheduled in advance. Expenses are logged against the trip the vehicle ran, so you see cost per vehicle and margin per trip rather than an annual guess.
No. Odoo is not a hotel property management system, and this page does not cover room inventory or channel managers. It covers passenger transportation and tours: bookings, dispatch, drivers, fleet and invoicing for companies that move people in their own vehicles.
No. Freight, warehousing and goods movement have their own workflow and are covered on our supply chain management page. This page is for tour operators and passenger transportation businesses only.
Yes. We migrate customers, open invoices, balances and historical transactions from QuickBooks into Odoo Accounting and clean up spreadsheet-based booking and vehicle data before go-live. Stripe, Authorize.net and Twilio are connected as part of the same implementation.
