If your tour company still builds quotes in spreadsheets, tracks suppliers in WhatsApp, and re-types bookings into an accounting tool, you have outgrown your tools. A travel ERP fixes that by bringing quotes, itineraries, suppliers, agent bookings, payments, and reports into one system.
If you are thinking on who should build it, this guide compares five companies in Nepal that can help, explaining what each is best at. We are Quark Infotech, and we are included in this list. However, our goal here is to provide a fair overview of the local market so you can make an informed decision. We suggest speaking to at least two vendors before you decide.
What a travel ERP should do
A good travel ERP for a tour operator or destination management company (DMC) should cover:
→ Quotes and itineraries that your team can build in minutes, not hours.
→ Supplier and rate management for hotels, guides, transport, and permits.
→ An agent portal so overseas partners can request and track bookings themselves.
→ Multi-currency pricing and commissions without manual calculations.
→ Payments and finance records that match your bookings automatically.
→ Reports on bookings, margins, and outstanding payments.
How we chose the companies
We looked at five things: experience with travel and tourism, ability to build custom software, public proof of past work, clear English communication, and how they handle support after launch. We did not rank by price, because the right choice depends on your size and needs.

1. Quark Infotech

2. Thulo
Website: thulo.com.np/tourism
Thulo focuses heavily on Nepal's tourism businesses. Its tourism page describes booking websites, online travel agency platforms, and a tourism CRM for trekking and travel agencies, featuring a WhatsApp-first enquiry flow. They state that they have delivered more than 100 tourism and travel websites and list website packages starting at NPR 18,000.
What to consider: Their core strength is in getting booking websites and basic CRMs live quickly. However, if you need complex quoting, multi-currency supplier management, and unified finance in a single system, you should confirm exactly what is included in their package before proceeding.
3. Aaryatm
Website: aaryatm.com
Aaryatm sells tour operator software that covers itineraries, cost calculations, supplier management, and staff management. It says it started inside its founders' own tour businesses and is built by tourism professionals. Startup directories list it as a small team founded in 2021.
What to consider: A ready-made product is faster to deploy and often more affordable upfront than a custom build. The trade-off is that you will need to adapt your internal processes to fit their software, rather than the other way around. Check their site for current features to ensure they match your specific operational needs.
4. Neosoftware
Website: neosoftware.com.np
Neosoftware is a Kathmandu software company founded in 2008. Its profile lists ERP, CRM, HR, payments, and e-commerce work, supporting more than 100 companies across sectors that include finance, logistics, and hospitality. Its team size is listed between 151 and 250.
What to consider: While they have extensive ERP experience across various industries, they are not exclusively a travel specialist. If you choose them, be prepared to spend time educating the team on specific tour operator workflows, such as agent commissions and multi-currency quoting.
5. Spiralogics
Website: spiralogics.com · Reviews: Clutch profile
Spiralogics is a Kathmandu custom software firm that has worked in healthcare, education, insurance, and finance. Clutch reviewers describe projects such as business intelligence systems and operating platforms that replaced paper processes. Directory listings show hourly rates around $100 to $149 and a team of 10 to 49 people.
What to consider: They have a strong track record with complex, regulated builds. However, they do not specifically position themselves as a travel industry specialist, so you will want to confirm their familiarity with DMC and tour operator workflows.
Before you approach a vendor: Know your own needs
Choosing the right company is only half the battle. To get accurate quotes and realistic timelines, you need to brief them properly. Before you reach out to any agency, have the following ready:
- Document your current manual workflow: Write down exactly how a booking happens today, from the first email to the final invoice. This shows the vendor where the real bottlenecks are.
- List your must-have integrations: Do you need live flight APIs, specific hotel bed APIs, or payment gateways like Stripe and eSewa?
- Define your user roles: Know who needs system access (Admin, Finance, Reservation Agent, External B2B Partner).
- Clarify your growth goals: Tell the vendor if you plan to expand to new regions or add 500 new sub-agents next year. Software built for 10 users will not scale to 500 without major rework.
How to choose: 8 questions to ask any vendor
1. Can you show a travel or tourism system you have built, and may I speak to that client?
2. How do you handle multi-currency pricing and agent commissions?
3. Will we own the source code and the data?
4. What happens in the first two weeks, and what do I receive at the end of discovery?
5. How will you move my existing bookings and supplier data into the new system?
6. How do you handle security: access roles, backups, and data protection?
7. What does support cost after launch, and what is the guaranteed response time?
8. What is the total cost, including hosting and changes after launch?
A vendor that answers these clearly and in writing is one you can trust.
Frequently asked questions
Q. How long does a custom travel ERP take?
A. It depends on scope. Simple systems can take a few weeks, while complex ones with custom workflows usually take 8 to 12 weeks or longer. Ask any vendor for a phased plan so you can start using core features early.
Q. Is it better to build a custom travel ERP or buy ready-made software?
A. Ready-made software is faster and cheaper to start. Custom software fits your exact process, scales with your business, and gives you full ownership. Operators with unusual workflows, many agents, or multiple currencies usually benefit most from a custom build.
Q. Can a Nepal company build software for an overseas travel business?
A. Yes. Many Nepal-based teams work with international clients. Nepal offers a strong combination of technical expertise and cost-effectiveness compared to Western agencies, with teams accustomed to working in US, UK, and Australian time zones. Just be sure to check their English communication, written contracts, and client references before signing.
The bottom line
If you need a quick booking website, Thulo is a solid choice. If you prefer a ready-made tour operator product, look into Aaryatm. For broad, multi-industry ERP needs, Neosoftware has the scale, and for highly regulated custom systems, Spiralogics is a strong contender. But if you are looking for a custom travel ERP built specifically around your unique processes, margins, and agent networks—with international-standard contracts and communication—talk to us at Quark Infotech.
