ERP, AI and software for Tunisian tourism

Lexa supports Tunisian hotels, guesthouses, travel agencies, restaurants and inbound tour operators in managing multi-channel bookings, multilingual reception, sector-specific billing and steering seasonality.

Tunisian tourism serves a demanding international clientele, in a highly seasonal environment, with its own sector taxation (tourism promotion tax, tourism social contribution, foreign-currency operations). Lexa brings a system that combines operational management (bookings, stays, restaurant), the sector's specific financial flows, and multilingual AI for the customer relationship.

The problems we address

The recurring pain points that sector SMEs face, and the concrete impact they have on the business.

  • Overbooking across channels

    The guest books on Booking while another books direct for the same room. Resolution happens at check-in, in front of the guest, with a damaged image.

  • Channel manager disconnected from accounting

    OTA bookings land in one tool, billing in another, accounting in a third. Discrepancies pile up and the monthly close becomes a nightmare.

  • No visibility on revenue by segment

    You don't know whether your rooms earn more direct or via OTA, nor which segments (leisure, business, groups) really drive your margin.

  • Limited multilingual customer service

    Requests come in French, Arabic, English, Italian, German. Answering at any hour and in the right language is impossible to sustain with a limited team.

  • Specific tourism taxation poorly covered

    Tourism promotion tax, tourism social contribution, foreign-currency operations, specific exemptions: international tools don't cover these Tunisian specifics.

  • Unanticipated seasonality

    Seasonal hires managed at the last minute, restaurant stock poorly calibrated, prices not adjusted to demand: you endure the season instead of steering it.

The solutions Lexa offers

Three complementary pillars, designed to address the sector's needs end to end: ERP as the central system, AI for automation, and custom development to fill in the rest.

Why Lexa for the tourism sector

Four concrete differences that matter for the sector's SMEs.

  • Tunisian tourism tax compliance

    Tourism promotion tax, tourism social contribution, foreign-currency operations, sector-specific exemptions: Lexa delivers Tunisian tourism taxation by default. Your accountants no longer waste time rebuilding these flows in a foreign tool.

  • Natively multilingual

    The interface and guest-facing content (quotes, confirmations, invoices, emails) are available in French, Arabic, English. The AI agents answer in the visitor's language. Essential to serve an international clientele.

  • Local AI for your customer data

    Reviews, exchanges, stay histories are sensitive commercial data. Our AI agents run on a local LLM: your commercial know-how stays with you, not on a foreign provider's servers.

  • Team in Tunis that knows the sector

    Our team visits your site (hotel, restaurant, agency) to scope processes with your operations manager. Support in French and Arabic, knowledge of seasonal constraints and the sector's taxation.

Frequently asked questions — tourism sector

The questions the sector's managers ask us most often.

For an independent Tunisian hotel, the software must cover five functions: hotel management (PMS), the channel-manager connection for OTAs, catering (till and purchasing), Tunisian tourism accounting (promotion tax, currencies), and ideally direct online sales. Lexa, built on Odoo and locally adapted, covers these five functions in a single platform with hosting in Tunisia.
