The DBJOY trial is not a guided demo on invented data. We set the system up on your partner school rates, your own destinations and your own programmes, and for three months you use it on the work you are doing anyway. No credit card, no automatic renewal: at the end the decision is yours.
Four things, stated plainly. Everything below is part of the trial; anything that is not written here, ask us and we will confirm it to you in writing.
Not a cut-down edition and not a single module: CRM, quotes and enrolments, booking files, partner schools and accommodation, students and groups, travel documents, administration and reporting. For three months you work with the whole product, on sessions you actually have on sale.
We configure partner school rates, destinations, programmes and course sessions the way you sell them. The first quote you open contains your courses, your accommodation and your net costs, not a sample catalogue. It is the only way to find out whether the system fits how you work.
Through the three months you are not left alone with a manual. The first session, the first school group and the first round of travel documents are set up together with people who know the product and know the study travel trade.
Student and family records, quotes, enrolments and partner school terms you load during the trial remain yours and remain exportable. A system that holds your history hostage is not a supplier, it is a constraint.
From your request to day-to-day use. No hidden step, and nothing to sign in order to begin.
You fill in the form below: type of operator, students travelling in a season, the software you use today. We come back to you to understand how you work, which programmes you sell and which steps cost you the most time.
We prepare the trial environment together: partner school rates and seasonality, contracts and allotment per session, destinations, users and roles. We start from your real cases, including the school group or the session you already have on your desk.
For three months you use DBJOY in production: enrolments, family instalments, allotment per session, host family matching and rooming lists, through to the margin on the departure. At the end your verdict is not an impression, it is your own work done inside the system.
The useful test is not a feature list. It is taking one departure you know well — a school group, an individual enrolment on a language course, a summer session — and following it from the first enquiry through to the margin, inside the system, with your own numbers on the screen.
The questions everybody has before filling in a form, answered before you have to ask them.
A trial request is not an order and not a contract. We do not ask for a credit card to activate it, and no charge arises from the trial itself.
The trial does not turn itself into a subscription. When the three months are up nothing is triggered: without your explicit confirmation there is no contract and no invoice.
Two clean options: you carry on with DBJOY on terms agreed in writing, or you stop. If you stop, the trial closes and you are charged nothing.
What you load during the trial is yours: students and families, quotes, enrolments, groups, partner school terms. It stays exportable, including in the case where you decide not to continue.
The trial environment is accessed by the staff supporting you, for set-up and support only. On the data of your students and their families you remain the controller: the software provider acts as processor under Article 28 of the GDPR and works on your documented instructions.
The details you leave in the form are used to come back to you about this request. Marketing messages go out only if you give the separate consent, and you can withdraw it whenever you want.

A handful of fields is enough. They tell us what kind of operator you are, so the first conversation starts with an idea of how your trial should be configured.
No credit card. No automatic renewal. Your data stays yours and stays exportable.
Starting the DBJOY free trial needs the company’s details, an internal contact who follows the set-up, and a decision on scope: which real departure to start from. It does not need a credit card or a purchase commitment. The rest is built together during the initial configuration, on the operator’s own partner school rates, destinations and programmes.
The initial configuration during the DBJOY trial is done together: master data, partner school rates and course sessions are set up on the operator’s real material rather than on a demonstration dataset. The operator supplies the content, because only the company knows its own school contracts. Where the boundary sits between the two sides is agreed before the trial starts.
The most useful trial runs on live work rather than test records: a real quote, a real school group with its students, real partner school costs. That is what shows whether the system holds up at enrolment, at departure and at invoicing. Starting from one departure the operator knows well gives a clearer answer than loading everything at once.
The DBJOY free trial carries no automatic purchase commitment and no tacit renewal, so an operator that decides early can simply say so. The conditions for stopping, and what happens to the data already entered, are set out in the trial agreement, which is worth reading before the team invests real work in the system.
Data entered during the DBJOY trial belongs to the operator and stays exportable. Scope, format and the window in which the export is available are set out in the agreement rather than left to good will. Return or deletion of the data at the end of the relationship is part of the processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR.
