Tiyende
Bus tickets, flights, hotels and tours, in one place.
For travellers, no more queuing at a booking office. For operators, a modern distribution channel. Tiyende means “let’s go”.
For travellers
Bus tickets, flights, hotels and tours in one place, bookable and paid for from a phone. No trip to a booking office to find out whether there is a seat, no queue, no cash held overnight because the office closed before you got there.
- Search and compare routes, dates and operators
- Real-time seat and room availability
- Pay by mobile money or card
- Tickets and confirmations by SMS and email
- Booking history and repeat bookings
- Works on modest phones and modest connections
For operators
A distribution channel that does not require you to build one. Bus companies, airlines, hotels and tour providers manage their own inventory and pricing, and see what is selling while it is selling.
- Manage routes, schedules, seats and availability
- Set and adjust your own pricing
- Booking, occupancy and revenue reporting
- Manifest and boarding lists
- Payment collection through our gateway
- Reduced no-shows through automated reminders
Payments and messaging built in
Collection runs through our Payments Gateway, so operators are not counting cash at a counter, and confirmations and reminders go out over our SMS platform. Both are already integrated — there is nothing for an operator to wire up.
The name
Tiyende means “let's go”. It is a travel product for this market, named in the language of it.
Questions
Questions we get asked.
How do travellers pay?
Through our Payments Gateway — mobile money or bank card — so operators are not left collecting cash at a counter.
Can operators manage their own inventory and pricing?
Yes. Operators get an account to manage routes, schedules, seats, availability and pricing, with booking and revenue reporting.
