Vacayz

Creating Multiple Business Trip

Introduction

Vacayz is a company that has a platform for booking accommodations around the world. The target audience for which the company functions are people who travel as part of their occupation.

Many times, the travelers are not the ones who book the accommodation. Their workplace does it for them, sometimes the person who books the travel and hotel arrangements is a human resources person and sometimes it is someone whose job is part of the team. Vacayz has identified these people as having specific needs and decided to create a product tailored to them.

The Challenge

Today there are different platforms for booking accommodations online (like Airbnb or Booking). However, when it comes to booking accommodations for a team of employees, who may travel to the same destination on different dates or when some travel ahead of the others or start their trips to one destination and end with anothers, make it more complicated, as it is necessary to coordinate between a greater number of people and varying dates and destinations.

Meet Naomi

Naomi works in the sales department at CheckPoint company. Different employees in her department travel a lot as part of their work. As part of her role on the team she receives from her manager a list of dates and destinations to which they travel, and books accommodations for all of them.

Let's just say this is the list she got:

  • June 13-16 : 4 Employees to Boston.

  • On June 14: Another employee will join them in Boston.

  • On June 17-19: They will all continue to Los Angeles.

  • And on June 22-25: Three of them will travel to Seattle.

Instead of closing four different orders, Naomi will be able to use the Vacayz platform and close everything on one reservation, so everyone can travel and stay together in the same hotels.
