How Simba Sea Trips Optimized Lead Management Across Multiple Brands

Simba Sea Trips is a well-established, Australian-owned travel business that has been offering premium island excursions in Phuket. Known for delivering intimate, crowd-free experiences, Simba Sea Trips has expanded operations to manage two additional businesses: 2 Sea Tour and a local café called Soho. As customer queries began pouring in from multiple digital channels, manual handling became inefficient. Twister Automation stepped in with a personalized CRM and bot-based solution to unify their communication, automate workflows, and simplify operations across all three brands.

Client Background

Simba Sea Trips began with a clear mission: to provide high-quality, personalized island tours in Phuket that stood in stark contrast to the overcrowded, impersonal boat trips commonly offered in the region. Simba Sea Trips quickly built a reputation for delivering premium, small group excursions that focus on guest comfort, scenic experiences, and exceptional service.

As the brand grew in popularity, they expanded their business portfolio with two additional ventures:

  • 2 Sea Tour – A complementary travel brand offering similar island experiences to cater to a broader tourist audience.

  • Soho Café – A cozy, locally-run café designed to serve travelers and enhance the pre- and post-tour experience.

With this multi-brand expansion came a surge in direct customer inquiries across social media platforms, websites, and live chats for all three businesses. Managing such a high volume of conversations manually soon became a significant operational challenge.

Challenges

As Simba Sea Trips expanded into multiple businesses, managing customer communication manually across various channels became increasingly difficult.

Multi-Brand Lead
Chaos
Incoming queries from three businesses across multiple channels were difficult to manage manually.
Unstructured Customer Routing
All leads landed in a single inbox with no proper way to segment or prioritize them.
Delayed
Lead
Handling
Without automation, responses,
follow-ups, and service updates were inconsistent.
Uncategorized Customer Intent
Teams had
no system to distinguish between new leads, returning clients, or service requests.

Clean-Up System

To maintain a clutter-free and focused CRM environment, a smart clean-up system was implemented.

Any incoming messages that are irrelevant such as spam, accidental messages, or unrelated comments are automatically identified and marked as Closed/Lost without requiring manual intervention.

This ensures that the sales and support team only spend time on genuine leads, improving productivity and keeping the lead pipeline organized.

More Benefits

Twister Automation provided hands-on training to the team. Ensured the system worked well with their schedule, service flow, and real-world challenges.

Interest-Based Flows

Depending on the response, users are directed to either the “Tour Options” bot or the “Private Charter” flow.

Live Chat Hand-Off

When a user confirms interest, the conversation is handed off to a live agent automatically.

Tagged & Tracked Leads

Each lead is tagged based on preferences or source (e.g., Tour, Repair, Charter, Café inquiry).

Re-Engagement Routing

Leads reactivating after closure are placed into a “Reopen” stage, triggering follow-up actions.

Implementation

Multi-Bot Setup customized uniquely for
each business brand.
Unified CRM Dashboard displays and manages all incoming leads.
Automated Lead Routing improves both response time and categorization.
Live Chat gives triggers based on qualifying customer responses.
Auto-Tagging Logic organizes leads by customer interest category.
