In 1999 ViaTour was born as a niche market solution for non-profit and for-profit travel planners in the educational travel market. ViaTour's goal is to remain the industry's number one solution by providing the best product with outstanding support. ViaTour has expanded to include a wide range of users. Currently there are out-bound tour operators, in-bound tour operators, coach companies, non-profits and alumni programs all using the application.

Our clients have in common the desire to:

Streamline day-to-day tracking and communications with travelers and vendors

Improve service

Access operational and strategic reports easily

Grow their business

Via Tour was chosen as an all-inclusive, cost-effective solution.

ViaTour's design reflects our intimate knowledge of this industry's needs. The president of ViaTour worked in educational travel for 10 years in student travel, at an active museum travel program and as the owner of a domestic tour company specializing in custom tours. When we listen to our client's requirements, the conversation begins as colleagues and no time is wasted. Our experience in data management makes us the ideal partners.

The application is constantly enhanced with time saving buttons, powerful reports and useful new tracking - the result of an ongoing dialogue with current users. Via Tour users may opt into a collaborative model, where through an affordable annual maintenance plan frequent upgrades deliver enhancements for a fraction of the development cost.

ViaTour is a professionally-developed Microsoft Access application and makes extensive use of VBA and SQL. ViaTour works well with the Microsoft Office Suite of products, allowing easy transfer of data in and out of Outlook, Excel, Word, etc. ViaTour is supported under Microsoft Access 2000, Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2007.

Currently, we are working on offering Viatour with Microsoft SQL server back-end data storage (local or remote hosting options). We are also developing "Viatour Web Services" using Microsoft's Net platform, thus providing connectivity between production SQL Server data and your website, facilitating the safe processing of online registrations, and the timely publishing of tour and related information.
