TripCreator alternative for DMCsBuilt only for MICE and incentive DMCs, from the proposal to departure.

TripCreator serves DMCs, tour operators, agencies and DMOs from one configurable platform, with a booking engine and a traveler app. It has a DMC and MICE offer too.

DMC Pilot does less travel selling and more MICE operations. Here is what that gives a DMC running corporate programs.

Why DMCs choose DMC Pilot

• Transfers that follow the flights

  The air manifest itself becomes transfer runs. When a flight moves, a run not yet approved is re-timed, and an approved one is flagged for your team.

• A real phone app for your team

  TripCreator gives field crews a live web view with no login. DMC Pilot gives staff and freelancers an iPhone and Android app with team chat, the day sheet, and check-in lists for arrivals, transfers and departures that work without signal.

• Your margin against what you sold

  When the client accepts, the sold costing is saved. Live cost is watched against it through the program, with each supplier's share.

• Suppliers in a portal in your name

  Suppliers confirm, reconfirm, answer changes and send bills in their own portal. Each bill is checked against what was booked.

• A live page for your corporate client

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

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

TripCreator 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

TripCreator says contacts can be exported as CSV. Ask for your contacts, suppliers and products in spreadsheet form.

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.
