If you put plans together

Your client asks. We source it. You sell it.

Even the things that only live in someone's phone. And it reaches you ready to sell: a firm price, confirmed places, an invoice in your name.

We work behind you. Your client never sees us.

What you can sell

Your catalog covers one of the six ways an experience exists.

Connecting the first one costs an integration, which is why everybody has it. The other five cost a conversation, which is why almost nobody does. They are the ones you get asked for when the plan goes off script.

The size of the gap

This isn't a corner of the market. It's two thirds of it.

6–9 days is how long a group request takes when it goes to three providers one after another, at the response time the trade considers acceptable. Your client waits through all of it. Estimate based on 48–72 h per provider to quote · trade B2B standard, 2026
58 % of small activity providers have no booking system. Among large ones it is 21 %: the more distinctive the supply, the less connected it is. Arival, State of Booking Tech, 2025 · 5,000+ activity providers
54 % of providers that opened since 2022 have none either. Time is not fixing this. Arival, State of Booking Tech, 2025
33 % of experience bookings were made online in 2025, against 64 % for travel overall. The other two thirds are booked by talking to someone. Arival and Phocuswright, market sizing, Feb 2026

The work

Finding it isn't the hard part. Getting it is.

Between your client asking and you confirming anything there are eight steps. A catalog covers one. An aggregator, two. A payment gateway, the last one. <b>You take the other five</b>, every time.

The eight steps behind a request, and who takes them.
The stepToday, youWith Duxenia
Knowing it existsAwareness What you don't know about, you don't offer. The sale that never happened leaves no trace. Us. Supply we have already sourced and know, in a system or not.
Finding who runs itDiscovery Search, sift, discard. An afternoon for every unusual request. Us. With our own contacts where there is no catalog.
Knowing whether they're any goodPrior trust Reviews written by a different audience, or nothing at all. You find out after you've sold it. Us. What we know about how they answer and how they book.
Reaching themAccess Phone, WhatsApp or email, on their hours and in their language. Us. Through the channel the provider already uses.
Pinning down product and termsDefinition One email after another until there is something you can actually offer. Us. It reaches you settled, with the terms written down.
Trusting the quoteRisk You sign it. If it goes wrong, it's your brand answering to your client. We confirm with the provider before you sell it.
Running the bookingOperations Confirm, amend, chase, remind. Your work, every time. Us. And the paperwork reaches you ready for the client.
Paying, invoicing, reconcilingAdministration A new provider means an account, a payment, an invoice and a reconciliation. Half of it. We pay the provider and invoice you. The VAT and the reconciliation of your own books stay yours.

DMCs and inbound operators solve this, and solve it well, in their own territory with their own people. What doesn't pay to do by hand is the one-off activity, the destination outside their network and the small request. That's where we come in, for them too.

The protocol

You ask the way you always do. We carry the rest.

The provider's product stays theirs and is confirmed through their channel. What doesn't change is the flow, or the statuses —including the ones you won't like.

  1. 01 Request Tell us what, when, how many and who for. In plain words. Received
  2. 02 Options We ask several providers at once. They come back with terms and a price. Waiting on provider
  3. 03 Selection You pick, or ask for another. If one can't, another can: the booking never rests on a single provider. No availability
  4. 04 Confirmation We confirm with the provider before you confirm to your client. Confirmed
  5. 05 Payment and paperwork Payment, voucher and an invoice in your name. What your client receives carries your brand. Documented

“Waiting on provider” and “no availability” are real statuses in the flow and you will see them. We would rather you saw them here than on the day of the group.

Try us with the request you least want to deal with.

The one you've been dodging for two days. We'll come back with options, a price and the terms in writing, and you decide after. No account, no contract, no volume commitment.
