Best Navan Alternatives for Travel Businesses (2026)
Navan (formerly TripActions) is primarily a corporate travel and expense management platform built for companies managing employee travel at scale. If you are a travel agent, boutique agency, tour operator or destination management company (DMC), Navan is not designed for your business model — you need tools built around capturing and qualifying leisure or custom travel enquiries, not managing corporate expenses.
This guide covers the best Navan alternatives for travel businesses in 2026, with a focus on agencies and DMCs that handle custom, leisure or luxury travel.
1. FigFinder Pro — Best for Enquiry Capture and Qualification
FigFinder Pro is an AI-powered enquiry assistant built specifically for travel businesses. It captures traveller preferences 24/7 through a conversational interface and delivers a structured, ready-to-quote brief directly to your inbox — covering destination, dates, budget, group composition, travel style, and any special requirements.
Instead of receiving a vague email or a WhatsApp message that requires three follow-up questions before you can even begin to quote, FigFinder Pro does the qualification work automatically. Every enquiry arrives pre-structured and actionable.
- 24/7 AI enquiry capture — never miss an out-of-hours lead
- Structured client briefs delivered directly to your inbox
- Reduces manual back-and-forth before quoting
- Embeddable on your website or shared as a direct link
- Premium plan includes custom branding and colours
- 7-day free trial, no credit card required
2. Travelport
Travelport is a global distribution system (GDS) that connects travel agencies with airlines, hotels and car rental companies. It is a strong option for agencies doing high-volume flight and hotel bookings through established supplier relationships, but it is primarily a booking and distribution platform rather than an enquiry or lead capture tool.
3. Rezdy
Rezdy is a booking and distribution platform designed for tour operators and activity providers. It handles online bookings, channel management and agent commissions well. If your business sells experiences or packaged tours directly to consumers, Rezdy is worth considering — though it is not built for handling bespoke enquiries or custom itinerary requests.
4. Tourplan
Tourplan is a comprehensive reservation and operations management system designed for DMCs and inbound tour operators. It handles costing, itinerary management and supplier contracting at an operational level. It is a powerful back-office tool for established DMCs but requires significant setup and is not suited to smaller agencies or those focused on lead generation.
Why travel agencies and DMCs are choosing FigFinder Pro
Most travel businesses lose potential clients not because they cannot deliver the trip, but because the enquiry process is too slow or too vague. A traveller sends an email, waits a day for a response, answers three follow-up questions, and by the time a quote is ready, they have booked elsewhere.
FigFinder Pro removes that friction. The AI qualifies the enquiry immediately — asking the right questions in the right order — and delivers a complete brief that lets you quote faster and more accurately. Faster quotes mean higher conversion rates.
Who is FigFinder Pro best for?
- Independent travel agents and boutique agencies handling bespoke leisure travel
- DMCs receiving complex multi-destination enquiries
- Tour operators who want to qualify leads before investing time in a full quote
- Agencies that receive enquiries out of hours and want to respond faster
