mTrip alternative for DMCsRun the whole program, including what travelers see.

DMC Pilot is where a MICE DMC sells, plans and runs the program: proposals, suppliers, flights and transfers, day sheets, your team's app and the margin.

Checked

mTrip turns programs into branded apps and web itineraries for travelers and attendees. In its own words, the DMC designs and runs the program and mTrip handles the delivery.

If you are looking for the system that runs the program itself, this is what DMC Pilot gives you.

Why DMCs choose DMC Pilot

  • Proposals, costing and margin

    Costed proposals with your margin visible and e-signature. Then invoices, supplier bills and the live margin on each program.

  • Suppliers and transfers in one place

    Suppliers confirm in their own portal. The air manifest becomes transfer runs that re-time when flights move.

  • An app for your whole team

    Staff and freelancers get their own app, separate from the guests', with chat, day sheets and check-in lists that work without signal.

  • A live page for your client

    Your client follows arrivals, today's schedule and transfers on a live page in your brand. Your costs and margin never show.

  • Simple links for guests

    Guests get links for waivers, airport check-in and photo galleries. They never need an account. DMC Pilot does not give guests an app.

Airport transfers, day sheets, margin alerts and Client View are on Growth and up. The features page shows the plan for each feature.

Switching is simple

mTrip and DMC Pilot do different jobs, so you can also use both: DMC Pilot to sell and run the program, and mTrip to give attendees a branded app. There is no direct connection between them today. mTrip's AI import reads PDFs, Excel files and transport manifests, and DMC Pilot exports passenger lists and manifests as CSV and PDF, so a program can move across by file.

Here is what you can bring across:

  • Guest and rooming lists from CSV or Excel, on every plan. The columns are matched for you, so a list from another system needs no reformatting.
  • Clients, suppliers and your price list through Data imports on Growth and up: CSV, Excel or PDF files, up to 20,000 new records at a time.
  • Supplier price lists create the supplier with every price linked to it. You can upload up to 500 documents or a whole folder at once.
  • Nothing is saved until you review it. Possible duplicates are flagged, and you confirm the import yourself.

Onboarding is hands-on and paid. We load your price list, suppliers and first programs with you. It usually takes two weeks:

  1. Week one. We go through the setup checklist with you: company profile and logo, your team and their roles, destinations, then your price list and supplier rates imported.
  2. Week two. Your suppliers are loaded and invited to their portal. We build two live programs together.
  3. From then on. Your team runs the programs, and we stay close through your first day on site.

Past programs are usually not worth moving. Keep them where they are, and start your next program in DMC Pilot.

Questions about mTrip and DMC Pilot

Is mTrip a DMC system?

No. mTrip describes itself as white-label software that delivers programs to travelers. It says the DMC designs and runs the program, and mTrip handles the delivery.

Does DMC Pilot have an attendee app?

No. Guests get links for waivers, airport check-in and photo galleries, and the client gets a live view of the program. The app in DMC Pilot is for your team.

Can mTrip and DMC Pilot work together?

Yes, by file. There is no direct connection today, but DMC Pilot exports passenger lists and manifests as CSV and PDF, and mTrip's AI import reads PDFs and Excel files.

The bottom line for DMCs

mTrip is the right tool when what you need is a beautiful app for travelers. It is not built to run a DMC.

DMC Pilot is the system to run your DMC on, from the proposal to the ground. Flights are tracked live, and transfers re-time themselves. Your team has day sheets and a phone app. Suppliers work in their own portal, and the client has a live page. You see the margin on every program, and Dispatch AI, the assistant built into DMC Pilot, answers from your own records.
