Brand switching
For: Suppliers who manage more than one brand Where to find it: The brand switcher in the header bar at the top of the page
If your company runs several businesses under different names — for example, a luxury lodge brand and a budget safari brand — each one can exist as a separate brand on Tourium. The brand switcher lets you move between them without signing out.
If you only have one brand, the switcher isn't shown at all — this article isn't really about you.
Why brands are separated
Each brand is its own presence on Tourium. That means:
- Properties and services are scoped per brand.
- Rates are uploaded against a specific brand.
- Connections are made between a brand and an agent, not between your whole company and an agent.
- STO agreements are sent from a specific brand.
This lets you treat each brand as its own business relationship, with its own inventory, pricing, and paperwork, while still managing all of them from a single Tourium login.
Common tasks
See which brand you're in
Look at the header bar at the top of the page. Your current brand name appears next to a tag icon. Everything you create or edit — properties, rates, connections — happens inside this brand.
Switch to another brand
- Click the brand switcher in the header.
- You'll see a list of every brand you have access to. The current brand has a checkmark.
- Click the brand you want to switch to.
- Tourium reloads with that brand active. You'll see that brand's properties, rates, and connections from now on.
Understand what changes when you switch
- Lists (properties, rates, connections, agreements) refresh to show the new brand's data.
- If you're looking at a specific item that belongs to the old brand (say, a rate sheet), Tourium takes you back to the list page for that section instead — the item isn't in the new brand's data.
- Your personal settings (profile, password) don't change — they're tied to your user, not the brand.
Tips
- Always double-check the brand switcher before you create something. It's easy to upload a rate sheet to the wrong brand if you're in a hurry. Properties, services, and rates can't be moved between brands, so a mistake means deleting and re-creating.
- You can't create or delete brands from the switcher. To add a new brand, go to your organisation name → Brands in the sidebar. See Brands.
- Agent accounts only ever have one brand. The switcher only appears for suppliers with two or more brands.
- On mobile, the brand name is truncated to fit the narrow header — tap it to see the full name.
