If you have ever had to book your own travel arrangements, you know what is involved. Shopping around, visiting multiple websites, inputting all of your travel rewards accounts, and booking all of the elements of your trip can be a time consuming and often frustrating activity. Until now….

Tripware is travel plugin to plan, book, and manage your business trips right from your Outlook calendar. Schedule appointments and book travel at the same time and in the same business tool that you use to manage your calendar, contacts, and email.  This software plug-in simplifies business travel with one tool, one profile, and one itinerary in one familiar place: your calendar.  The plug-in eliminates the need to use multiple tools such as online travel agents, travel search engines, and itinerary consolidators.  With this tool, there is simply no faster way to book travel that is tied to your business meeting. It is simple, easy, and effective.

The tool’s patent-pending and proprietary technology, dubbed Behavioral Travel Management (BTM), focuses on automating business travel as much as possible by analyzing habitual and repetitive behaviors and employing advanced algorithms.
