A business trip is an event that requires effort, time and concentration. An employee is not going on a tourist trip, but on a business trip, so it is important to optimize his path and stay in a new place. This can be done using a number of mobile applications.
Today we will talk about which of them will be useful for employees on a business trip.
OneTwoTrip for Business
The application allows you to work with the OneTwoTrip for Business business travel booking system on both IOS and Android. Using the application, you can purchase air tickets and view information on flights – this is convenient for quickly buying a ticket while on the road, or checking information without access to a computer.
MiFlight
This crowdsourcing app helps you estimate the time it takes to get through airport check-in and security. This way you can calculate your arrival time in advance so as not to miss your flight. The application works thanks to the same travelers, with the help of whom relevant information is exchanged. Data on more than 100 airports around the world are now available.
Taxi services
Before your business trip, you need to do some research on the best taxi services in the city you are assigned to. Download a few apps you like in advance so you don’t have to wait or overpay. Before your trip, save important locations in the city so as not to waste time searching for them at the airport or in the city. For example, the location of a hotel, partner office, bank, etc.
MAPS.ME
The application is convenient because it allows you to view maps offline. This feature can be critically important when there is no Wi-Fi nearby and you haven’t had time to purchase a SIM card. It is necessary to download maps of the desired places before the trip, then you can use them without the Internet at all, plot routes, and also search for objects on the map.
Trello
Trello is ideal for both the work notes of the seconded employee and for team involvement. Trello’s features allow a team to quickly set up any workflow for an employee on a business trip: from meetings and projects to events and goal setting. On the cards you can track the completion of tasks, share and discuss them with colleagues.
Telegram
Telegram has long ceased to be just a messenger. Now it is also a relevant platform for various types of news. Including news about changes in business travel arrangements, requirements for obtaining visas in different countries, guides for visiting cities, and so on. Business travelers can find all this information on the OneTwoTrip for Business channel.
Restaurants and cafes
If this is your first time in the city on a business trip, be sure to download the application to search for restaurants and cafes. The application will track your location and offer nearby options. You can also change the sorting options and select restaurants, for example, by cuisine type or rating. If you don’t have time to search, we recommend using the TripAdvisor app.
CamCard
On business trips, employees often have to meet a lot of new people – for example, at events or negotiations. The CamCard app allows you to scan business cards and quickly highlight important information on them. At the same time, cards scanned in this way can be integrated with a CRM system for further work.
Valuta EX
This is a simple and intuitive currency converter ideal for business travelers. Valuta EX provides accurate exchange rates for over 160 world currencies. The application will be indispensable for those who travel a lot and need a quick way to find out the latest exchange rates.
WiFi Finder
This application helps out when you need to find a more or less stable Internet connection in an unfamiliar city. WiFi Finder shows available free wireless hotspots in thousands of cities around the world. An offline map is available, so download it before your trip.
