What The Trip Boutique does

The Trip Boutique is a Swiss B2B SaaS company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Zurich (with a registered office at Impact Hub Zurich) that builds an AI-powered platform, marketed as the "AI Brain," for travel agencies. The platform is modular and comprises seven components: Profiler & CRM for client data capture and enrichment, Knowledge Hub for centralized content that is profiled and vectorized for AI retrieval, Itinerary Builder for AI-generated itinerary proposals, Marketing Hub for personalized email automation, Data Analytics for performance insights, AI Advisor as a 24/7 white-labeled concierge that qualifies leads and drafts itineraries, and Booking Agent (announced as coming soon). The system is GDPR-compliant, designed to integrate with major travel infrastructure (Amadeus, Sabre, Virtuoso) and productivity tools (HubSpot, Slack, Zoom, Google Meet, Zoho), and is deployed via a 3-6 week implementation cycle.

The company's product surface is being expanded: Tour Operator and OTA solutions are flagged as coming soon, alongside the Booking Agent module. Its go-to-market is a consultative, demo-driven direct sales motion targeted at enterprise and mid-market travel agencies, supplemented by participation in major travel trade events (Virtuoso Travel Week, Skift Global Forum, Phocuswright, ITB Berlin in 2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the revenue model is modular SaaS subscription. Named customers include Twerenbold, Brownell Travel, McCabe World Travel, River Oaks Travel Agency, Coastline Travel, Pique Travel Design, and Bluebird Travel, predominantly luxury and mid-market travel agencies.

Ownership, funding history, and revenue are not publicly disclosed beyond a 2019 funding event with unspecified investors and amount; no subsequent institutional capital is identified. The company operates with 1-10 employees, indicating an early-stage team relative to its multi-year operating history. Leadership comprises CEO and co-founder Fernanda Barrence, COO Juliana Gallo, Independent Director Elisabeth Stevens, and CPO Kevin Stäuble.
