Traveas goes train, signs deal with Linkon

Monday, December 19th, 2011

For the first time in Traveas history, we will now be able to offer our enriched booking services to other areas within the travel industry besides flights, such as train and bus operators.

We will do so after signing a commercial deal with Linkon, the largest hub and booking system in Sweden when it comes to train and bus traffic. Linkon was founded in 2000. The company is an independent and neutral supplier of online booking system solutions for the travel industry.

Linkon clients include amongst others SJ, Veolia, Swebus to name a few.

We are really proud that Linkon have given us the trust to deliver enhanced and enriched booking services to their clients.

To read more about the commercial deal, read this pressrelease (in Swedish).

Cheers!

/ Jack and the Traveas team!

 

Traveas update

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Hi all Traveas friends!

First of all, sorry for the lack of activity on the blog lately. It has nothing to do with lazyness nor inactivity in our business. On the contrary, we´ve kept ourselves quite busy. In fact, so busy that the daily operations have eaten up all our time. Motto: Business first, then blog about it :-)

Anyhow, this will therefore be an attempt to summarize the past months:

First of all, we´ve now successfully launched the Email Composer service for our first travel clients. If you´ve missed out on how it works, check out this clip:

Thereafter we´ve applied our tehnology on new industries, opening up a whole new market for Traveas. For instance, we´ve succesfully launched a tailored Email Composer version for the Swedish Golf Association, that handles all bookings of tee off times, for every golf club in Sweden (more than 500 clubs).

This means that all Swedish golfers, including the other fellow players in a ball, get an enriched email confirmation about their booking. In short, besides facts about their tee off time, handicap status, they also get local and relevant information. To mention a few examples:

- Weather forecast

- Special offers on golf balls, clubs, clothing etc

- Golf trips

- Green fee guests will get a map with directions to get there

Wanna see how it looks? Check this out:

Traveas have suddenly, over night, become the biggest and by far most precise golf media in Sweden. We send approx 10 million emails to active golfers during 2011. I´ll get back further on with more details about this new golf media.

Further on, in the aftermath of us now being somewhat of a media company, we sell advertising space. Looking back on the portfolio of brands we´ve attracted as advertisers and sponsors, we´re really proud :-) For the travel media we see leading players within ground transportations, hotels, exchange institutions, banks, insurance etc.

For our golf media we´ve seen leading companies within all golf associated brands, as well as banks, cars, watches etc.

I´ll settle for this for now, but I will return within shortly with more information, fun deals and stories to be told from inside the Traveas team :-)

Cheers!
