What is charter booking software?

Charter booking software helps charter businesses organize craft inventory, availability, customer details, bookings and related commercial information in one system.

Zi Charter is purpose-built charter booking software from Travelzi. It helps charter businesses manage inventory, availability, rates, customers and bookings from one dedicated workspace.

Can Zi Charter manage different types of charter inventory?

Yes. Zi Charter supports helicopters, private jets, yachts, speed boats and hot air balloons, each with craft-specific specification fields where relevant.

Can Zi Charter manage charter availability?

Yes. Zi Charter includes date-window overlap checks and passenger capacity limits so teams can understand what can be booked before confirming a hire. It does not claim universal instant booking for every listing or channel.

Can Zi Charter manage confirmed bookings?

Yes. Zi Charter keeps supported booking information connected to the relevant customer, charter inventory, dates and commercial details — including walk-in bookings and portal sales when listed.

Does Zi Charter include a separate quote or enquiry desk?

Zi Charter is booking-led. Customer needs are captured as charter bookings with guest details, dates, notes and status. It is not a separate RFQ or quote-builder module like a dedicated enquiry desk.

Is Zi Charter aviation operations software?

No. Zi Charter is designed for charter inventory, sales, availability and booking management rather than aircraft operational control, crew management, flight dispatch, maintenance or aviation compliance.

Can Zi Charter replace charter spreadsheets and brochure files?

Zi Charter is designed to centralize many of the inventory, rate, availability and booking records charter businesses often manage through spreadsheets, documents and separate communication tools.

Will Zi Charter work with WordPress?

Yes. Zi Charter for WordPress lets eligible published charter inventory appear on your own WordPress website with supported availability and booking connected to Travelzi. Availability depends on your Travelzi setup — ask Zi SoftTech about deployment.

Does Zi Charter include a branded traveler app?

An optional vendor-branded traveler app is available for entitled Travelzi setups. Travellers can browse your published charter listings and complete supported booking steps. It is a guest app — not a staff dashboard, aviation dispatch tool, or marketplace tourist app. Ask Zi SoftTech about availability for your operation.

What if my business also sells tours, hotels or transport?

Zi Charter is part of Travelzi. Businesses can also use dedicated Travelzi products such as Zi Tours, Zi Stay and Zi Fleet, or explore Travelzi One for multi-service travel operations.

Can I request a Zi Charter demo?

Yes. Request a demo to discuss your current charter sales workflow and see how Zi Charter can fit your operation.

Built for charter booking operations

A charter catalogue should do more than look good.

Charter sales need four connected jobs: set up inventory, price and check availability, take customer bookings, then keep confirmed hires organised. Zi Charter brings those workflows together in one booking-led charter workspace — not a separate enquiry or quotation desk.

Inventory Setup

Build detailed craft profiles and type-specific specs once.

Availability & Rates

Check date windows and keep hourly or daily rates on the craft.

Customer Booking

Create hire bookings against the craft, dates and guest details.

Hire Fulfilment

Track confirmed, pending and completed booking status after the sale.

When charter sales get complex

Bookings become difficult when inventory and hire details live in different places.

Charter sales are not simple product purchases. Customers ask about specific craft, dates, specifications and pricing, while teams need every booking connected to the correct inventory — without inventing a separate quote pipeline.

Scattered Inventory Details

Craft specifications should not live across brochures, documents and separate records.

Unclear Availability

Confirm date-window feasibility before promising a hire.

Disconnected Booking Records

Guest details and hire dates should stay on the craft booking — not in chat threads.

Pricing Confusion

Hourly and daily rates should sit on the inventory you quote from at booking time.

Zi Charter connects inventory setup, availability and rates, customer booking and post-confirmation hire records in one workflow.

One connected charter workflow

From inventory setup to confirmed hire — keep every step connected.

Build the Inventory

Create detailed profiles for the craft your business sells.

Capture Specs

Store craft-specific details buyers ask about before hiring.

Set Rates

Configure hourly and daily rates on each charter listing.

Check Availability

Test date windows against existing hires before confirming.

Create the Booking

Capture guest details, dates, passenger count and notes on a hire record.

Confirm the Booking

Move the booking through pending and confirmed status — not a separate quote desk.

Handle Commercials

Keep payment status and booking value with the hire.

Complete the Record

Retain booking and commercial information for later reference.

Setup. Availability & pricing. Customer booking. Hire fulfilment. One booking-led workspace.

Charter inventory

Keep every craft detailed enough to sell properly.

Setup comes first. Zi Charter keeps supported charter profiles, capacity, amenities and publishing controls in one catalogue so availability checks and bookings later work from the same inventory — not a brochure file.

Charter profile

Craft Catalogue List helicopters, private jets, yachts, speed boats and hot air balloons.

Name & Description Present each charter with a clear name and sellable description.

Make / Builder & Year Record make and build year for credibility on listings.

Passenger Capacity Set max passengers with optional certified capacity and cabin counts.

Amenities Tags Attach reusable amenity features guests care about.

Gallery & Media Upload a gallery so the craft looks ready to hire.

Publishing & status

Active / Inactive Status Control whether a charter is available to sell.

Portal Listing Control Choose whether published craft appear on the tourism portal.

Base City Anchor inventory to a city for clearer browsing and filters.

Weather-Dependent Flag Mark craft where weather can affect the experience.

Contact Display Show public phone, email, website or socials when enabled.

Internal Notes Keep staff-only notes without exposing them publicly.

Flexible charter inventory

Manage different charter categories without forcing them into the same template.

A private jet, yacht and specialty craft may need different descriptive and technical information. Zi Charter preserves type-specific fields for each craft category you set up — still inventory setup, not flight operations.

Private Jets

Capture range and cabin notes buyers ask about on aviation listings.

Helicopters

Store payload, altitude and twin-engine details where relevant.

Yachts

Organize cabins, crew-size fields and kitchen details for marine inventory.

Speed Boats

Record speed and hull notes for faster marine craft.

Hot Air Balloons

Capture basket capacity and flight duration for specialty experiences.

Custom Type Labels

Use tenant charter-type labels on top of the supported craft categories.

Charter availability

Know what can be offered before you confirm the hire.

Availability and pricing sit between inventory setup and creating a booking. Zi Charter helps your team test date windows and passenger limits against the craft before anyone promises a hire — without claiming universal instant booking for every listing.

Date windows

Hire Date Ranges Evaluate the requested start and end dates against the craft.

Overlap Checks Prevent conflicting bookings on the same craft for overlapping dates.

Capacity & readiness

Passenger Limits Enforce guest counts against the craft max passengers.

Active Inventory Only Sell from craft marked active and ready in your catalogue.

Charter bookings

Keep every charter booking connected to its craft and customer.

Customer booking is the hire record. Zi Charter captures guest, craft, dates and commercial fields on a booking — booking-led, not a dedicated charter enquiry or quotation desk. Supported channels include in-panel walk-ins and portal checkout when listed.

Booking details

Guest Contact Capture name, email and phone when the booking is created.

Craft Link Attach every booking to the selected charter inventory.

Dates & Duration Record hire dates with total days and hours where used.

Guest Count Track how many passengers the booking covers.

Sales trail

Walk-In Bookings Create internal bookings for desk and partner sales.

Portal Checkout Sell selected craft through the tourism portal when listed.

Booking Notes Keep operational or customer notes on the hire record.

Booking Source Know whether a booking was created in-panel or from the portal.

Client management

Keep guest context with the hire — and follow up when CRM is enabled.

Client details sit on the booking for coordination and repeat hires. Zi Charter keeps guest contact on the hire record and can sync CRM contacts and leads when CRM is enabled — without turning bookings into a separate quote pipeline.

On the booking

Client Contact Details Keep name, email and phone readable on the charter booking after it is created.

Booking Notes Capture preferences and special requests with the hire.

CRM when enabled

CRM Contact Sync Create or link CRM contacts from charter bookings when CRM is on.

CRM Lead Sync Open related leads for follow-up on charter opportunities.

Pricing & commercials

Keep charter pricing and booking value connected.

Rates belong on inventory during setup, then feed booking amounts when a hire is created. Zi Charter keeps hourly and daily rates on craft, calculates booking totals from hire duration, and can create invoices when Billing is enabled.

Hourly Rates

Set hourly pricing on craft that sell by the hour during inventory setup.

Daily Rates

Set daily pricing on craft that sell by the day.

Booking Amount

Calculate totals from days × daily rate and hours × hourly rate at booking time.

Payment Status

Track pending, paid and refunded booking states on the hire.

Commission-Aware Sales

Track marketplace commission and vendor net amounts where applicable.

Invoices When Enabled

Billing can create invoices from charter bookings when Billing is on.

Charter operations

Know what is happening across your confirmed hires.

Operational fulfilment here means post-booking visibility — which hires are pending, confirmed or upcoming — not aviation operations, crew dispatch or flight control. Zi Charter keeps hire status readable for the sales and ops team.

Confirmed Bookings

See which hires are locked in for upcoming dates.

Pending Bookings

Track bookings that still need confirmation.

Inventory Status

Know which craft are active and ready to sell.

Upcoming Charters

Stay ahead of date windows already booked.

Payment Visibility

Understand paid vs pending commercial status on hires.

Portal vs Internal Sales

See where each booking originated.

Your charter workspace

One workspace for inventory, availability, rates and bookings.

The charter workspace is where staff run inventory setup, availability checks, bookings and hire-status follow-through — distinct from a guest WordPress site, a branded traveler app, or a public marketplace tourist app.

Charter Inventory

Keep craft profiles structured and ready to sell.

Craft Specs

Capture type-specific details buyers ask about.

Availability

Check date windows before confirming the next hire.

Booking Management

Create and update hire bookings against craft and guests.

Rates & Totals

Keep hourly and daily pricing with booking amounts.

Dedicated Business Workspace

Operate in your own branded tenant with staff permissions and module controls.

WordPress publishing

Ask about availability

Show eligible published charter inventory on your WordPress website.

Zi Charter for WordPress lets operators present and sell eligible published charter inventory on their own WordPress website. Ask Zi SoftTech about availability for your Travelzi setup.

Guests see eligible published charters on your WordPress pages. Supported availability and booking stay connected to Travelzi.
