What Do We Do?

Rezdy is a software development company based in Sydney, Australia, specialised in tours and activities. We take extremely powerful tools available to major companies (such as dynamic booking, secure payment gateway, geo-localisation, cross selling, dynamic packaging, last minutes…) and we make them accessible to anyone for a fraction of the usual costs.

We design tools that help tours and activities businesses to manage operations and increase income. Our passion is to take care of the technical aspects required by any modern business, though we are specialised in the Leisure and Tourism industry.

Rezdy is a technology provider only (B2B). We do not resell our customers products: we provide the tools to do it. We make it easier to book directly on the supplier's website, manage bookings and distribute products. Unlike some of our competitors, we don’t simplify, we make it simple. And because our platform uses an open API, it is easy to integrate internal systems and web applications with our booking engine.

Why do we do it?

Our primary concern is to protect suppliers from financial risks. We do this by providing payment transfers directly to the operator's bank account during the booking process, consequently improving cash flow and confidence of tour operators & distribution partners in the business model. We don't charge a commission fee to tour operators (a percentage of your income) and we believe you should not pay commissions for software, only to your agents. It unveils long term benefits for the travel industry.

We believe in experience-led travel. The purpose of traveling is to explore and experience, most of the time through the favorite activity. Rezdy is activity-centric, this means that our online booking platform is designed to compare activities, not only to process transactions. For travelers, researching what they will do during their next holidays is part of the experience, their first impression of your business if often your website, so we designed a beautiful online reservation system to help your brand to look professional.

The evolution of the web has changed the way people find, consume, share, discover and connect with products. Today, businesses need a new kind of solution that re-invents how people access seats & prices directly on the website or through distribution, ways that enhance the value of the business content. Rezdy is a platform that embraces what is best about the web, serving the needs of the next generation Tour & Activities Operators and resellers.
