Tourplan alternative for DMCsBuilt for the corporate program and the days on the ground.

Tourplan has run tour operators and DMCs since 1986, from contracting to the general ledger. MICE is one type of booking in it.

DMC Pilot skips contracting and distribution. It puts its depth into the corporate program and the days on the ground.

Why DMCs choose DMC Pilot

• Organized around your program

  Everything sits in the program: a client, dates, a headcount, an air manifest, suppliers, a team, a sold price and a live margin.

• Flights tracked live, transfers that follow

  The air manifest is tracked live and becomes transfer runs that re-time when flights move. We did not find live flight tracking on Tourplan's website.

• Day sheets and a phone app for the team

  Day sheets build themselves from the program. Staff and freelancers get a phone app with chat and check-in lists that work without signal.

• A live page for your corporate client

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

• Running in about two weeks

  Onboarding is hands-on. We load your price list and suppliers with you, and build your first programs together.

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

Tourplan and DMC Pilot, side by side

From each website as of October 2026. “Not stated on their website” means we could not find it there, not that the product cannot do it. Ask the vendor.

Switching is simple

If you do both leisure and MICE, you can keep a tour-operator system for contracted product and use DMC Pilot for corporate programs. If you are moving your MICE work, bring the clients, suppliers and services you sell for MICE as spreadsheets.

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.
