The problem it solves

Coordinating travel means juggling flight confirmations, hotel bookings, itineraries, and passport expiry dates across separate emails and spreadsheets. Nothing is connected, so double-checking details before a trip takes far longer than it should.

Who it fits

Executive assistants or operations teams managing frequent business travel.

How it works

  1. A new trip is logged with its purpose, destination, and approval status
  2. Bookings for flights, hotels, and ground transport are linked to that trip
  3. A day-by-day agenda is built out with contacts and attire notes
  4. Travel documents like passports and visas are tracked with expiry dates
What you get

Every trip detail organized in one dashboard

You get a single organized dashboard tracking every trip, booking, itinerary, and travel document for your team.

What you get

A single connected dashboard covering every trip, booking, itinerary, and travel document.

What you need

An Airtable account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
