Costings that once took hours now done in minutes.
Pull from supplier rates, apply your markup rules, and generate accurate, auditable numbers without the spreadsheet sprawl.
Why costings matter
Pricing a complex trip is still done in spreadsheets.
Tour operators and DMCs manage dozens of supplier contracts, seasonal rate cards, currency fluctuations, markup rules, and commission structures, all at once across every quote they produce.
Most teams manage this in nested Excel files, copied between colleagues, prone to version errors, and nearly impossible to audit.
47%
of quote errors trace back to incorrect rate application.
6 hrs
average time to price a complex multi-destination tour.
∞
spreadsheet versions in the average DMC's shared drive.
Totem changes this, from the ground up.
The Vision
One system for every number in your business.
Costings replaces the spreadsheet sprawl with a single, auditable pricing engine, so every quote starts from the truth, not a copy of last week's copy.
Contract ingestion
Upload supplier contracts and rate sheets. Totem AI reads them, structures the data, and keeps rates up to date.
Smart markup & margin rules
Define your pricing logic once. Totem AI applies it consistently by supplier, destination, and client tier.
Multi-currency support

Quote generation
From a trip brief to a full itemised costing in minutes. Line-item detail with rollup totals, taxes, and margins.
Audit trail
