Monica Groups

What Monica Groups does

Monica Groups is a privately held Canadian SaaS company headquartered in Quebec City that builds an online group travel management platform for travel agencies. The platform provides a centralized dashboard, itinerary builder, real-time transport and accommodation inventory management, online payment processing through Moneris and Stripe integrations, automated billing via integration with PC Voyage, multi-user permissioning, public group booking pages for end travelers, and exportable sales, profitability, and operations reporting. The product is delivered as a 100% cloud-based web application with 24/7 availability, hosted in Canadian data centers with disclosed $2M cybersecurity insurance coverage, designed in French for the Quebec market.

The company serves primarily Quebec-based travel agencies that need to manage complex group bookings across use cases including weddings, corporate events, family reunions, cruises, custom tours, sports trips, school activities, and coach tours. Pricing follows a per-passenger subscription model with five plans starting at $2.75 per passenger, and distribution is primarily sales-led via a demo-driven motion supported by referrals, social media, industry events, and a referral relationship with the Transat/Group X travel network. Reported scale includes 74 agencies using the platform across Quebec and 6,000+ passengers booked via plane, bus, and boat since launch.

The company was founded approximately 5+ years prior to 2024 (around 2017-2019) and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees led by a five-person executive team: CEO Véronica Peric, COO Mathieu Béland-Lachance, CTO Jean Lalande, CMO Nicolas Hamelin, and Product Advisor Marc-Olivier Alain. No external funding, acquisitions, or major leadership changes have been disclosed; ownership commentary describes the business as independent and founder-operated. In 2024 the company has stated it is ready to onboard a larger base of agencies beyond its current Quebec footprint, marking an explicit geographic and commercial expansion phase.
