Ticketing for destination marketing agencies¶
On a Friday evening, your destination marketing agency has to produce, for the county committee, a report on tourism ticket sales across twelve tourist offices and about thirty providers across the territory.
Twelve tourist offices, about thirty providers, each with its own sales tracking — and yet a single consolidated report to produce for local officials. Without automatic consolidation, that means several days of phone follow-ups and manually cross-referenced spreadsheets.
The Billetterie module for Odoo enables automatic consolidation of sales across the whole network, ready-to-use territory-wide reporting for officials and public funders, and per-provider availability tracked in real time across the whole coverage area. Whether the sale happens at a small office's counter or online through a major tourist site's website, every transaction flows into the same consolidated Odoo environment.
The 4 key benefits¶
-
A consistent experience across the whole network
The same sales journey for every tourist office and every provider in the territory, regardless of size or equipment level.
-
Per-provider availability, at territory scale
Each provider keeps its own capacity, tracked in real time, with no risk of confusion between the network's different sites and activities.
-
Consolidated reporting for officials and funders
Sales and revenue aggregated by office, by provider, or by territory, directly usable for your steering committees and annual reports.
-
Native Odoo integration
No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory.
What each module brings to your destination marketing agency¶
The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the visitor journey, from a local sale to territory-wide consolidation.

Access control : validating for events run by the agency¶
- Validation via mobile control app for events and operations organized directly by the agency
- A ticket that has already been scanned cannot be reused, including at multi-site events
- Number of participants present visible in real time, useful for immediate reporting to funders
Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶
A destination marketing agency by nature coordinates a network of several tourist offices and providers — with the need to relay their availability with no manual re-entry at each level. The Channels manager module, currently in development, will let you sync the availability of every actor in the territory directly from Odoo.

A destination marketing agency coordinates a territory where tourist offices and major sites intersect. Two other sectors worth exploring :
- Tours — for guided tours organized at territory scale (see the example)
- Attractions — for the territory's major sites with combined box-office/online ticketing, such as museums (see the example)
