Here’s a detailed feature-by-feature comparative analysis between HelloGTX (based on all the modules & features you described) vs Sembark CRM (based on public info). Use this to spot strengths, gaps, and positioning. 

Feature / Module What Sembark Offers What HelloGTX Offers (your spec) Comparative Advantage / Gap 
Lead Capture / Inquiry Management • Lead API integration: captures leads from website, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram. 

• Centralised lead management & auto-assign.  

• Follow-ups & status tracking. 
• Omni-channel lead capture (Meta, WhatsApp, Google, IVR, offline)

• Auto assign & prioritization  

• 10-minute lead qualification workflow  

• Lead segmentation, query status (online/offline) 
HelloGTX has broader “offline / IVR” capture and a stricter qualification time (10 min).

Sembark covers many channels but does not clearly mention IVR or offline. Advantage to HelloGTX here. 
Quotation/Itinerary Builder & Package Management • 60-second or fast Tour / Itinerary builder.  

• Auto tour costing, supplier rate sheet uploads in multiple currencies.  

• Instant package sharing via WhatsApp/Email/PDF. 
• Day-wise itineraries, master packages, visa/land-only etc  

• Self-branded quotations & vouchers for sub-agents

• Share quotes via WhatsApp, email, PDF, over call  

• API-linked flights/hotels in quotes 
HelloGTX matches Sembark on many, plus adds sub-agent branding and more sharing channels & “over call” capability. Potentially HelloGTX can compete well here.  
Sub-Agent / B2B Partner Portal & Markups / Ledgers • Sembark supports B2B agent sharing of packages, custom markup, supplier ledgers. 

• Supplier booking and payment ledgers.  
• Sub-agents’ login, build own package, download self-branded itineraries, check online/offline query status 

 • Category-wise markup for agents  

• Sub‐agent ledger, credit limit 
HelloGTX over‐indexes here: more agent self-service, more control (credit limits, ledger), possibly stronger than Sembark in terms of agent autonomy. 
Booking, Operations & Service Allocation • Smart Tour Operation Calendar.  

• Supplier / hotel reservations, voucher generation.  

• Supplier rate sheet management, multiple currencies.  
• Booking management across flights/hotels/activities  

• Service allocation (assign drivers/guides), mobile updates  

• Check-in / check-out reports  

• Bookable flight & hotel quotes via API 
HelloGTX seems to have more depth in operations (mobile app, driver/guide assignment, check-in/out) which Sembark doesn’t clearly emphasise. That’s a strength. 
Payments, Ledgers & Finance • Payment tracking (incoming/outgoing).   

• Supplier ledgers.  

• Multi-currency support for supplier rates etc. 
• Customer & supplier payments, reminders, credit limits, multi-currency, tax/GST/VAT compliance, debtor report, invoices/receipts/credit-notes etc  HelloGTX has broader finance and compliance features (tax, credit limits) which may give it an edge especially in jurisdictions with heavy regulation. 
Marketing & Campaign Management • Sembark supports lead source tracking, some reports on lead source effectiveness.  

• Possibly landing pages but not clearly described. 
• Email marketing, emailer designer, landing page creation, campaigns, lead generation from existing database etc  HelloGTX seems stronger in marketing module; Sembark is more transaction / operations focused. HelloGTX’s advantage here. 
Website & Customer Portal • Sembark offers website integration (lead capture from website, sharing to website) and agent dashboards. But generally, doesn’t emphasize full website with multiple product types & customer login.  • Website built on CRM with holidays, flights, hotel, visa, activities

• Customer login to manage vouchers/bookings etc 
HelloGTX again appears to offer more in customer portal & full website integration which can help end-user experience. 
Localization, Scalability, Global Use • Sembark supports multi-currency; claims adaptability per country; uses in India, etc.   

• Designed for DMCs, tour operators. 
• Designed to support many regions: India, Middle East, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Europe, USA, Australia, Africa etc  

• Localization, tax/regulation compliance, etc 
Both aim global, HelloGTX has very ambitious regional coverage. Advantage depends on actual implementation. 
Reports & Analytics   • In-depth sales reports, lead source effectiveness, agent performance, etc.  

• Smart dashboards. 
 • Full staff performance, campaign reports, debtor report, check-in/out, inventory/group departure etc  Very similar here—HelloGTX overlaps or exceeds in some areas. 

Summary: Where HelloGTX Could Be Positioned vs. Sembark 

Differentiation / Strengths of HelloGTX:

Stronger sub-agent self-service (credit limits, branding, their own login + ability to create packages, check statuses) 

More complete omni-channel lead capture including IVR/offline  

  • Deeper operations functionality (service allocation, driver/guide tasking, mobile app, check-in/out)  
  • More comprehensive finance & compliance (multi-currency, tax / GST / VAT etc) • Better marketing tools (landing pages, emailer designer) • Fully integrated website + customer portal combined with all the above • Designed for SME agents as well as larger DMCs, giving flexibility. 

Potential Gaps / Risks for HelloGTX 

To ensure HelloGTX fully competes, check if the following are solidly built / will be built: 

  • IVR / offline lead capture integration (not trivial) – reliability and coverage – voice recognition or manual entry workflows 
  • API integrations: flights / hotels / activities content & booking – maintaining live inventory, avoiding rate mismatches, managing cancellations/refunds 
  • Tax compliance and localization per country (for many regions this can be complex) 
  • Mobile app for operations (guides, drivers) with offline capabilities 
  • UX / performance: speed, reliability, ease of use 
  • Support, onboarding, training — often a deciding factor 

Conclusion 

HelloGTX, has the potential to match or exceed Sembark in many important modules — especially around agent self-service, operations, finance/compliance, marketing, and omni-channel lead handling.  

Sembark is already strong in itinerary building, rate sheets, supplier ledger, lead capture via standard digital channels, etc.
