## Reviews

### "GREAT software for  travel planners and agencies\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: TESS is a little addictive - once you get used to how it works, its fun to enter bookings and see your numbers grow.  It's fairly user friendly, and a great way for agencies with independent agents to be able to collect information in a central place.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be a little tricky to figure out at first.  The online tutorials/videos are helpful, but really you just have to get in there and use it\!

### "Excellent tool for small/medium size agencies" — 5.0/5

> **harry** | *11 July 2022* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Several great features: Web based so it can be accessed anywhere, airline and cruise schedules are updated centrally and are very current, searches by client or trip is easy to do, handles group trips well, handles vendor payments and reconciliations for agent commissions well. Support is great - sometimes not instantaneous, but always helpful and the very competent TESS support team will work with you to resolve problems.
> 
> **Cons**: Does not allow agents to 'share' clients. This limitation should go away, according to developer.&#10;Help system is good, but not always intuitive - needs keyword search feature to allow for better user support.&#10;This tool requires certain specific steps to accomplish processes, the steps are not well documented and there is a learning curve to be able to utilize many of the built-in features that make this product very useful. In other words, users can 'get by' and do basics, but to truly benefit from TESS requires more work than it needs to.
> 
> TESS has been a great asset to our business.  We've done away with some paper records and are better able to serve clients because we've configured it so anybody can access almost any information wherever they are.  I use it outside of our office while hosting group trips.

### "Way too complicated" — 3.0/5

> **Beth** | *26 September 2019* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I loved the features, ability to tie in schedules for flights and details automatically populate when creating a trip.   The price was very low and would save me time.  I was using 3 programs that were not integrated versus this one that could take care of everything in one place
> 
> **Cons**: much too complicated and some of the training/webinars needed to be attended live once a week at an  inconvenient time.  Although there was a decent amount of training recorded, a lot of the critical information was available via the live webinar
> 
> frustrating, disappointing, and a waste of time at the end of the day.  As noted, the features were great but seemed like this software was designed by non-industry programmers and engineers.  &#10;&#10;It had the right features yet the flow and even the steps required to use the software were cumbersome and counterintuitive.  &#10;&#10;Still it was worth investing time into learning the product however the hurdle to get some of the simplest transactions completed and a lack of reply from the help/support desk left me no choice, give up on the product.

### "The perfect tool for those of us in the travel industry\!" — 5.0/5

> **Leigh** | *17 July 2019* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I start and end my day with TESS by my side. It's so comforting to know that at the end of the day I can check that last task off of my to-do list and know that I am not forgetting anything. The daily email reminders and automated emails are an invaluable tool for my business.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a lot to take in and learn all at once when you begin to use this software but they have created some great tutorials and have wonderful customer service to help you

### "TESS is awesome to control your job, but should be clear to finish." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *8 September 2019* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the possibility to make a better organization of my job and have the control of what I'm exactly doing.
> 
> **Cons**: I think it's a little heavy and should be clear to some tools when you finish and need to save what you're doing.
> 
> TESS is really awesome and essencial for every type of job.

Designed for publishing and media teams, it gives art directors and editors the ability to generate on-brand illustrations without requiring per-image artist commissions, while ensuring the contributing artist receives compensation for each image produced.\n\nThe platform centers on a curated artist partnership model, where each AI model is trained exclusively on one artist's work with that artist's consent and ongoing involvement. This approach preserves stylistic consistency across generated outputs and addresses ethical concerns common to generalist AI image tools. Tess operates entirely in the browser with no software installation required, making it accessible to editorial teams regardless of technical background. Generated images are licensed for commercial use, covering standard publishing workflows across print and digital channels.\n\nTess targets book publishers, magazine editors, and content studios that require a reliable, repeatable illustration style at scale. The platform supports high-volume content production by reducing turnaround time between concept and final art, while maintaining a defined aesthetic tied to a known creative voice. Compensation structures are built into the model, distributing revenue to the artist with each generation, creating a sustainable workflow for both the publishing team and the illustrator.","image":"https://images.g2crowd.com/display-layer-screenshots/1626653/afc0d6975f0b5feb76a41ca15cdf8f42bcaaefa9398bc70f85d56a185a424dcb.webp","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2168117/tess-1","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2168117/tess-1#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":5,"ratingValue":4.6},"offers":{"price":"10","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Travel Agency Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/85/travel-agency/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Tess","position":3,"item":"/software/2168117/tess-1","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2168117/tess-1#breadcrumblist"}]}
