Platform Extension Proposal

The Atlas Partner Portal Bringing Agents into Atlas

Build a rich network of travel agent partners and grow On Course Tours - seamlessly within your Atlas platform

What it adds

What it can do

Everything needed to run a travel agent channel, built into the Atlas platform.

01

Agent invitations & onboarding

Invite an agency onto Atlas. They manage their own accounts and bookings, with access to tours chosen by On Course staff.

02

Rates & tour access

Set rates & commissions for agents, and provide access to tours.

03

Reserved room capacity

Hold a block of rooms or seats for an agent on a tour, managed within existing inventory to ensure no overbooking.

04

Agent Portal Experience

Agents can book their clients onto tours within Atlas, invite them to book themselves, and track & manage their client bookings.

05

Pipeline & forecasting

Forecast from agent holds, track conversion, and measure realised revenue.

06

Manage & grow your agent channel

See each agent's contribution to net revenue, track their growth across the year, and run targeted promotions to the agents you want to grow.

07

Automated Commission Calculation

Atlas reports what each agent has earned by tour and period, so you have accurate figures to settle from with automatic settlement as a future capability.

08

Support for Travel Agents*

Through the existing feedback/support mechanism, Plaintext provides support and collects feedback within the platform, taking the support burden off the On Course Team.

* The level of agent support depends on your chosen Atlas support plan. Break/fix is always covered; on premium we also handle user support for the agents themselves.

Onboarding

Invite an Agency
& Set Rates

Add a new agency, choose which tours they can sell, and set a net rate or commission for each. They get a secure link to start booking, and you can change their terms at any time.
