4 reasons to run your ground operations with the Bókun mobile app

Valerie I • Jul 08, 2022

With bookings already surpassing 2021 levels by at least 80%, we expect summer 2022 to be the busiest travel season ever. Travellers are especially keen to make up for lost time, so managing everything yourself can be quite a challenge, especially when you might be lacking manpower. 


Whether you're a one-man tour company or a large enterprise, we know that having a tour business nowadays mostly happens on the go. Having the right technology in place will help you better manage last-minute adjustments, effectively communicate with your customers and see your schedule at a glance.


The Bókun mobile App offers a streamlined, app-based experience that focuses on the most popular operational features in your Bókun account.


We've put together our top 4 reasons to why the Bókun mobile app is the extra team member you never knew you needed: 


  1. Full on the go flexibility -

Give your customers the best experience possible without being tied to your computer. Access everything at your fingertips. 


    2. You’re always up to date - 

Say goodbye to outdated bookings. Manage the feed of all your bookings on your mobile device. Stay updated with any last minute bookings or cancellations, as they will directly be visible for you and all assigned drivers. 


   3. Faster communication with your customers -

Instead of text messages, you can just leave notes on the bookings to quickly communicate with your customers. If email is your preferred method, you can instantly email all of your customers. Quick and effective communication with no hassle. 


   4. Easy day-to-day management - 

Save time when on the road! You know your business best and we know that you don’t want to spend a lot of time searching for the details of a booking or re-checking information. Find all the information you need in one place and never miss a beat. 


Is the Bókun mobile app for me? 

The app gives you useful information and eases your day-to-day operations. Let’s have a deeper look into some of the functions.


  • Check your schedule and  manage your resources

You can see all of your planned departures in one place. Check each departure in detail and assign drivers and other resources if needed. 

  • Pick-ups

Get a full list of your daily pick ups, sorted by time and place. Meet  your guests at the time you need them to be picked-up.

Venice Tours offers local experiences in Venice and is one of Bókun’s key accounts. Their main goal when they contacted us was to increase the sales of their tours significantly.

In this case study, we review how their sales success was achieved through Bókun’s Channel Manager API.
