Generic CRMs treat a fourteen-day round trip like a support ticket. Baleen was built inside a working destination management company, so it starts from how tours actually get made: a supplier calls about a rate change while an agent is mid-quote, a market wants its own pricing, a group doubles in size a week before departure.
That is why rates carry seasons and markets, why itineraries know real road distances, and why an invoice can survive a currency swing between quote and payment. Not features on a slide — scar tissue, turned into software.
