A Better Way To Manage Umrah — No APIs Required

In 2025, the Umrah travel market continues to evolve rapidly, as technology reshapes how pilgrimage operators handle bookings, documentation, and client experience. Traditionally, most agencies have relied heavily on manual tools such as Excel spreadsheets, WhatsApp confirmations, and printed vouchers — leading to inefficiency, lost data, and costly errors.

However, today’s Umrah operations demand automation, transparency, and accuracy — qualities that only a digital CRM system can deliver. Journey Online recognized this industry gap and developed a package-driven Umrah CRM that eliminates complexity while providing complete control to operators, sub-agents, and customers.

Unlike many modern travel platforms that depend on live API connections, Journey Online’s CRM is built for real-world Umrah workflows — where agencies already have negotiated contracts with hotels, transporters, and airlines. This means operators can upload their own complete packages — including hotels in Makkah and Madinah, flights, visa processing, meals, and transfers — directly into the system, ready for booking.

This non-API model perfectly suits Umrah agencies who work on pre-agreed inventory instead of fluctuating live rates. It allows for seamless management of both B2B and B2C operations, ensuring that everything — from pricing to passenger management — runs efficiently from one unified dashboard.


How the Package-Driven Umrah CRM Works

A Complete Breakdown Of How Journey Online Umrah CRM Simplifies Operations

Journey Online’s Umrah CRM is not just another booking tool. It’s an entire operational ecosystem designed for the specific needs of Umrah operators, consolidators, and agents. The platform integrates all essential components — from package creation to post-travel reporting — into one intuitive interface.

Here’s how it works in detail:

Package Builder (Admin Backend)

The Admin Backend acts as the command center for Umrah operations. Operators can upload full packages with:

  • Contracted hotel names, room types, and room allocations.

  • Flight schedules, group bookings, and airline details.

  • Visa and transport options.

  • Ziyarat excursions and additional inclusions.

  • Special instructions for group leaders or VIP clients.

Everything can be customized — from package names and durations to pricing and commissions — giving you unmatched flexibility.

Package Inclusions & Add-ons

Every Umrah package is unique, and Journey Online’s system lets you define exactly what’s included. Operators can add special services like Ziyarat tours, city sightseeing, private car transfers, meals, and guide services, each with separate pricing. These optional extras can be toggled on or off depending on the client’s preference, helping agencies upsell and enhance the pilgrim experience.

Inventory & Availability Controls

Managing inventory manually can be a nightmare during peak Umrah season. Journey Online solves this by allowing operators to assign seat or room allocations to each package and date. As bookings come in, the system automatically adjusts availability — ensuring you never overbook or undersell.

B2B & B2C Frontend

Journey Online’s CRM supports both B2B (agent) and B2C (direct customer) models. Agents can log in to view exclusive wholesale rates, while customers see retail prices. The system applies automated markups and commissions, allowing for smooth pricing control. Each agent can manage bookings, payments, and vouchers under their own account — all while you maintain visibility and control.

Booking Workflow

Once a user selects a package, the booking workflow begins automatically:

  • Passenger details are collected.

  • Rooming, transport, and visa details are linked.

  • Payments can be accepted online or recorded offline.

  • Confirmation vouchers and invoices are generated instantly.

This automation drastically reduces manual work, eliminates calculation errors, and ensures smooth processing even during high-volume months.

Vouchers, Invoices & Itineraries

The CRM automatically creates professional-looking vouchers, invoices, and itineraries that can be branded with your agency’s logo. Each document includes package details, departure schedules, contact numbers, and other essential pilgrim information — reducing confusion and enhancing trust.

Reporting & Audits

Journey Online’s Umrah CRM also includes a powerful reporting dashboard. You can track bookings, payments, passenger lists, visa statuses, and agent performance in real-time. Detailed analytics provide insights into your top-selling packages, revenue breakdowns, and pending payments — helping management make informed business decisions.

Everything is centralized, secure, and accessible from anywhere in the world.

Why Package-Driven Is the Right Choice for Umrah Operators

Discover Why Pre-built Package Systems Deliver Stability And Growth

The concept of “package-driven operations” is gaining massive popularity because it simplifies the entire Umrah process. Here’s why thousands of agencies are adopting this model in 2025:

Predictability & Control

Most Umrah agencies work with fixed-rate contracts from suppliers. A package-driven CRM preserves these agreements by allowing operators to upload, store, and reuse predefined packages with set pricing, inclusions, and terms. This ensures consistent profit margins, better forecasting, and full control over your offerings.

Faster Bookings, Fewer Mistakes

Time is money — especially during Umrah season. Instead of manually typing package details into Excel sheets or sending repetitive WhatsApp messages, agents simply select a package, enter passenger information, and confirm. The CRM handles the rest — from pricing calculations to document generation — cutting booking times from hours to minutes.

Better Agent Relationships

Transparency builds loyalty. Journey Online’s CRM allows sub-agents to log in securely, view their commission rates, track bookings, and download invoices anytime. This eliminates payment confusion and helps maintain long-term relationships built on trust and professionalism.

Full Documentation — Instant

Every booking automatically generates professional vouchers, itineraries, and invoices. Pilgrims and agents can print or download these documents anytime, ensuring compliance with airline, hotel, and visa regulations.

Scales with Your Business

As your agency grows, the CRM grows with you. From small operations managing 10 packages to large enterprises handling 10,000 bookings, Journey Online’s platform offers scalability through bulk uploads, package cloning, and advanced reporting — all without performance lag.

Agent Wallets & Credit Limits

Each B2B agent can be assigned a wallet balance or credit limit to manage payments. As bookings are confirmed, amounts are automatically deducted, ensuring smoother financial management and eliminating manual reconciliations.

Automated Reminders & Notifications

Stay on top of every booking with automated alerts. The system notifies operators, agents, and clients of pending payments, expiring visas, upcoming departures, and balance dues.
