Background
Avant Africa DMC is a full-service inbound tour operator and ground handler operating across Southern Africa, focused on sustainability-led, tailor-made itineraries and small-to-medium group travel experiences. Their positioning combines “Adventure + Activism,” with a mission to make travel both memorable and impactful while supporting responsible tourism practices.
Their model requires strong coordination across multiple moving parts—traveller enquiries, itinerary design, supplier confirmations, activity scheduling, documentation, and ongoing client communication. They also work to create market access for under-represented groups (including women-owned and community-based tourism products), which adds a values-led layer to supplier selection and portfolio management.
As requests increased, Avant Africa needed a more structured operating workflow to keep execution consistent: track enquiries and pipeline stages, manage itinerary tasks, maintain supplier and partner records, and keep status updates visible across the team—without relying on scattered messages, docs, and manual chasing.
The challenges
With many trips being custom-built, small gaps in follow-through can quickly create delays and risk to client experience. The biggest pressure points were visibility, coordination, and consistency across planning and execution.
Enquiries and follow-ups needed stronger structure so opportunities didn’t go cold during busy periods.
Itinerary planning involved many handovers (client → internal team → suppliers), making status tracking difficult.
Supplier and partner coordination required better visibility to keep confirmations, changes, and delivery aligned.
“IXL CORE helped us organise our enquiries, itineraries, supplier coordination, and follow-through in one workflow. Our team now has clear visibility on what’s next, what’s pending, and what needs action.”
Justin Perumal – MD
The Solution
IXL CORE was implemented as a central operating system to connect sales follow-up, itinerary planning tasks, supplier coordination, and reporting into one workflow—so every trip moves from enquiry to confirmed itinerary with clear ownership and visible next actions.
What was implemented using IXL CORE:
The Result
With connected workflows in place, Avant Africa improved day-to-day coordination across enquiries, planning, and delivery. The team gained clearer visibility on what’s pending, reduced manual status-chasing, and maintained more consistent execution—supporting smoother client experience and stronger internal accountability.
