The problem

Gateway Travel runs a nationwide network of home-based travel agents across the US. Over a thousand agents, all remote, all needing access to bookings, commissions, training, and support.

The business was running on five different systems stitched together. Data lived in spreadsheets, a no-code database, and a patchwork of automations. Commission calculations were manual. Onboarding a new agent took days of back-and-forth.

The ops team wasn't running the business — they were firefighting spreadsheets.

What we built

A unified operations platform covering the full agent lifecycle.

Agent portal — Self-service dashboard for 1,000+ agents to manage their pipeline, access training materials, and track commissions. Everything in one place instead of five.

AI-powered booking parser — Booking details extracted automatically from emails and documents. The feature the whole team had been waiting for — manual data entry replaced with AI that reads and files bookings in seconds.

Commission engine — Automated commission calculations replacing the spreadsheet work that consumed hours every week. No more disputes, no more manual reconciliation.

Learning management — Integrated training with video modules, classes, and guides. New agents onboard themselves instead of waiting days for someone to walk them through.

AI assistant for agents — Custom AI assistant that answers agent queries about policies, products, and processes — configurable by the admin team.

Reporting dashboard — Real-time business intelligence across the entire network. The CEO sees the full picture without asking anyone for a spreadsheet.

The result

Over a thousand agents now operate on a single platform. Commission disputes disappeared. Agent onboarding went from days to hours. The ops team went from firefighting five disconnected systems to managing one that handles everything.

AZKY built our entire internal portal that runs the core of our business. This includes our CRM, agent onboarding system, training platform, internal communication tools, and custom features specific to how we operate as a host agency.

They also developed proprietary tools like our itinerary builder and other systems that replaced multiple third-party platforms we were previously relying on. At this point, the portal is not just a tool. It is the backbone of our operations and a big part of what allows us to scale efficiently.

The biggest thing for me is trust. I know that if something is being built, it is being done right. I do not have to constantly check in, second guess decisions, or worry about things breaking later. That level of trust is rare.

Beyond that, they think like business partners, not just developers. I can explain the outcome I want and they figure out the best way to get there without needing everything spelled out.
