TEN06 | THE NEXT JOURNEY
The next journey of the travel business
More content. More flexibility. A better digital operation. AI that actually pays off.
Ten06 helps travel agencies, incoming tour operators and DMCs get the technology they need to grow sales, serve travellers better and operate more efficiently.
With solutions that adapt to the business, at a cost within reach of every travel professional.
Why this is happening
The work paid off until yesterday. What changed?
Technology made access to travel content easy. Today you can sign an agreement with a supplier you will never meet.
But if that is a blessing for one professional, it is a blessing for every professional: new and old alike. Competition rose, and that is the most serious change in how a travel business works.
High availability pushes commissions down. Incentives and targets are no longer as generous. Service fees still exist, but they keep shrinking, because the customer can always find it slightly cheaper somewhere else.
What is left is service quality. Traditionally that rested entirely on the capability of your people: a single ticket or an entire holiday, everything passed through one person's hands.
That is exactly where technology changes the maths. It lets a capable professional multiply the cases they can handle without losing the level of service.
Access widened for everyone. The advantage is no longer what you can sell, but how well you can handle it.

The pressures
Where the margin actually goes
The exception handling nobody bills for
A date change, a sailing ban, a cancellation, a special requirement. Handling exceptions is one of the largest costs a travel business carries, and in most cases it is never invoiced.
It is also the moment the customer decides whether they come back.
The customer changed your opening hours
Travellers used to accept one level of service: the phone, standard working hours, and they adapted around it.
Now they want a last-minute update, because a sailing was cancelled or because they are already on the road and need help right now.
More sources, more complexity
Ferries, flights, accommodation, transfers, activities and insurance all come from different systems and partnerships.
The goal is not to acquire more connections, but to make them work together without operating costs climbing every time you add one.
AI needs foundations
A conversational AI tool is not enough for someone to describe a trip in natural language and have it built.
It takes supplier agreements, implemented APIs, real prices and availability, booking rules and organised processes.
AI accelerates a sound digital operation. It does not replace one.
Why us
We do not write about travel technology. We build it.
The Brief comes out of the work we do every day with ferry operators, tour operators and DMCs in Greece.

The Ten06 approach
From content through to AI
Our approach connects four consecutive layers. Each one stands on the one before it.
We connect
We build access to APIs, suppliers, booking systems and the business's own contracts.
We unify and organise
Content from different sources becomes available through a single technology layer, carrying your commercial rules and priorities.
We sell and serve digitally
A complete booking environment for B2C or B2B sales, customer engagement and traveller support.
We automate
AI draws on the available content and processes to handle complex requests and raise productivity.
Boötes builds the digital foundation. ATLON uses that foundation to turn complexity into productivity.
Our platforms
Two platforms, one logic
Boötes
The technology foundation of the journey
Boötes is Ten06's platform for accessing, unifying and orchestrating travel content.
It connects different APIs, systems, suppliers and your own contracts and turns them into a single environment, on which a booking engine is built to fit the business.
The Boötes Platform can support:
- bookings and service combinations: ferries, accommodation, transfers, activities
- dynamic packaging and cross-selling
- B2C and B2B sales
- partner and sub-agent management
- registered users, loyalty, vouchers and personalised offers
- travel content and marketing pages
- chat and automated communication
- online payments and invoicing
- after-sales service and self-service functions
- back-office management and transaction tracking
The result is a digital environment fully adapted to the business: on its own URL, with its own design, content, suppliers and commercial rules.

When the digital operation becomes productivity
For an incoming tour operator or a DMC, a sale rarely starts from a standard search. It starts from an email.
A couple wanting tailor-made island hopping. A family with specific needs. A partner asking for accommodation, transfers and activities across three destinations. Gathering, costing and writing the proposal takes hours.
ATLON was designed for exactly that process. It can:
- read and analyse incoming requests
- identify dates, destinations, travellers and special requirements
- spot the information that is missing
- search availability across APIs and your own contracts
- apply preferred suppliers and commercial rules
- calculate cost, selling price and margin
- produce complete, well-presented travel proposals
- handle revisions, new versions and proposal tracking
The travel professional keeps control and the final decision. ATLON takes on the time-consuming work, so the team can focus on the client and on the value of the proposal.

What this means day to day
For the travel agency
More content available, better ways to combine services, and a modern direct sales channel.
For the incoming tour operator and DMC
Faster handling of tailor-made requests, real use of your own contracts, and easier assembly of complete proposals.
For the team
Fewer repetitive tasks, a clearer view of bookings, and more time for service and growth.
For the traveller
One coherent experience, more options, and better information before, during and after the booking.
Our commitment
Advanced technology, within reach of every travel business
The large international platforms invest continuously in content, technology and customer engagement. We believe the independent professional should have access to the same capabilities.
So we designed our solutions to be:
modular and extensible
compatible with existing systems and infrastructure
fitted to what each business actually does
available without the cost of building a new platform from scratch
We do not hand every business the same package. We start from what it actually needs and open the road to what it will need next. The cost is often a pleasant surprise.
FAQ
A few straight answers before we talk
Do we have to replace the systems we already use?
Not necessarily. Boötes was designed to connect to existing APIs, booking systems, suppliers and accounting infrastructure.
Can we use our own contracts?
Yes. The platform draws on both the business's own contracts and content from third-party providers.
Is this only for large businesses?
No. Ten06's whole premise is making advanced travel technology accessible to businesses of different sizes and different levels of digital maturity.
What is the difference between Boötes and ATLON?
Boötes is the technology foundation: access to content, organisation of services and the booking environment itself. ATLON uses that content, those processes and your commercial rules to automate the handling of complex requests.
Can we start with only part of the solution?
Yes. We start from one specific need, service or integration and expand from there.
