WolfPack Solutions adds GPX Import feature to its central tour experience management solution
Tour experience management solutions provider WolfPack Solutions has announced the launch of the GPX (GPS Exchange Format) Import feature for its central TEM solution.
This enhancement is designed to streamline the tour planning process, offering increased convenience and efficiency for tour operators worldwide.
The GPX Import feature allows for the integration of GPX files directly into the WolfPack central trip planner, in response to a frequent request from tour operators.
By enabling the upload of GPX files, the solution validates the data and allows operators to customise trips.
Once a trip is added to the operator’s library, it can be utilised in tours, leveraging the full capabilities of WolfPack’s mobile app for travellers.
No additional physical GPS devices are required in addition to the travellers’ own smartphones, which the firm believes promotes a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to tour management.
It is best placed for vehicle-based tours, including bus, motorcycle, bike and car excursions.
"This feature marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing the most efficient and user-friendly tour management solution on the market," said Jonathan Chashper, CEO of WolfPack.
"We've listened to the feedback from our community of tour operators, and we're thrilled to deliver a feature that not only meets but exceeds their expectations."
Evan Haines, vice president of product of WolfPack, said: "Our focus has always been on enhancing the tour experience for both operators and travelers. With the GPX Import feature, we're streamlining the planning process, allowing our clients to focus on what they do best - creating unforgettable tour experiences."
Beta customers have already reportedly experience time saved thanks to it improving operational efficiency.
A North American tour operator that has been testing the feature, said: "The GPX Import feature has been incredibly valuable. Our time to market is nearly instant now as our tours are rendered in WolfPack in a matter of seconds. We're no longer spending time recreating our tour content, instead, we’re focused on delivering exceptional tour experiences for our customers."
