Key people at Travefy.
Travefy is a growth-stage B2B SaaS company providing an award-winning suite of tools for travel professionals, including itinerary builders, proposals, CRM, client management, marketing, website creation, and forms automation.[1][2][3] It serves over 30,000 travel brands worldwide, from independent advisors and solo entrepreneurs to large agencies, host agencies, consortia, tour operators, destination management companies, and tourism boards, helping them save time, impress clients, and increase sales.[1][3][7] The platform solves key pain points in the travel industry by streamlining workflows, enhancing client communication, and enabling professional branding, with strong growth evidenced by three Inc. 5000 listings, industry awards like ASTA Entrepreneur of the Year, and recent launches like the New Travel Agent Program (NTAP) in 2025.[3][7]
Founded in 2012 in Lincoln, Nebraska, Travefy initially targeted group travel coordination but pivoted in 2016 to focus on travel professionals, developing its all-in-one CRM platform.[2][3] CEO David Chait has led the company through this evolution, emphasizing user-friendly tools tailored to advisors—many of whom are solo operators—based on direct feedback.[2][4][5] Early traction came from features like itinerary management and supplier integrations, building to partnerships with host agencies (e.g., Nexion, Oasis) and suppliers (e.g., ALG Vacations), while pivotal moments include Inc. 5000 recognitions and the 2025 NTAP launch, which offers discounted tools and training to newcomers.[3][5][7]
Travefy rides the post-pandemic travel boom and advisor resurgence, where independents now dominate amid rising demand for personalized experiences.[2][7] Its timing aligns with tech adoption in a fragmented $1T+ industry, providing infrastructure amid labor shortages and digital shifts—enabling solo advisors to scale like agencies.[1][2] Market forces like supplier integrations and community content sharing favor it, while partnerships amplify reach; Travefy influences the ecosystem by onboarding new talent via NTAP and fostering collaboration, reducing churn and boosting efficiency for 30,000+ users.[3][4][5]
Travefy's customer-driven roadmap—guided by user feedback, AI enhancements, and expansions like invoicing and Marketplace templates—positions it for sustained growth in a consolidating travel tech space.[2][4] Trends like advisor proliferation, AI personalization, and mobile-first client tools will shape its path, potentially expanding to more supplier ecosystems or global markets. Its influence may evolve from core toolkit to indispensable hub, empowering more independents and solidifying its role in advisor success, much like its pivot unlocked dominance among travel pros.[2][7]
