About Satzart & xtoura

Services: Custom App Platform (iOS, Android, Web) & Agency Dashboard

Satzart has been a leading partner for tourism marketing in Germany for over 30 years, renowned for precision and quality in producing travel catalogues. Their proprietary system, xtoura®, serves as the central Product Information Management (PIM) and booking system for numerous tour operators.

the challenge

Overcoming Legacy Limitations

The travel sector's digital transformation presented four critical hurdles for xtoura clients:

  • The Mobile Gap

    Traditional PIM systems were desktop-oriented, missing the "mobile-first" expectations of modern travelers.

  • Rigid Legacy Systems:

    Lack of modularity made it difficult to integrate real-time features like push notifications and interactive surveys.

  • Fragmented Communication:

    Traveler communication (itineraries, documents) was scattered across paper, email, and disparate tools.

  • Scaling Inefficiency:

    Onboarding new agencies required costly manual customization instead of a streamlined, automated process.

the solution

A Modular,
Two-Dimensional Platform

We partnered with Satzart to build a two-dimensional platform: the xtoura App (Traveler Experience) and the AppCenter (Agency Management).

  • Digital Trip Wallet

    Central hub for confirmations, tickets, and itineraries with full offline access.

  • Multitenant White-Labeling

    Single core codebase supports multiple agency brands, configured entirely via the AppCenter.

  • Seamless API Integration zur Synchronisierung externer Buchungs-Engines wie Kuschick und Turista. Echtzeit-Daten für Verfügbarkeiten, Preise und Buchungen.

THE RESULTs

Efficiency and Scalability

The platform transformed a legacy backbone into a competitive, SaaS-ready solution. Early outcomes include:

A single "digital companion" reduces service calls and improves confidence during multi-day tours.

Onboarding new agencies is configuration-driven, drastically reducing Time-to-Market and costs.

Centralized document distribution and automated workflows minimize administrative overhead.

Full alignment with EU data sovereignty and GDPR standards, providing a secure alternative.

The shift to a multitenant platform allows Satzart to scale its offering across the DACH region.
