These past few weeks have been among the most exciting and interesting weeks ever for us at Traveas.
We have:
We have also:
- Travelled back to Germany, France and UK.
- Started more dialogs with potential clients in European countries such as Denmark, Finland, Norway, UK and Holland
- Started a first dialog with a potential first client outside Europe, a very exciting dialog with a major player in India.
After that we have:
- Attended the SIME08 conference in Stockholm, got inspired by many great speakers and panel discussions and as always we met with a lot of interesting and potential future partners.
- Attended the Internetworld Top100 event in Stockholm, con grats to all nominated websites. Don´t be lazy though, cause next year we will challenge you all :-)
Finally we have:
- Developed a new and very interesting distribution channel for our services, more about that later on.
- Initialized tests with 4 new potential clients (travel agencies that is) and awaitening tests from 5 further agencies.
Just to mention a few things :-) How was your last couple of weeks?
Cheers!

Dear
Traveas friend,
At a very
early stage we knew that the services within the Traveas portfolio will
be global from day one. Even so, it´s hard to conquer the world in just a day
or two and we had to start somewhere. So, we launched a first public version of
TravelTracker in Swedish this summer, and just a couple of weeks later
we conceptualized and packaged our next service TravelPlanner for Travel
Agencies (I will tell you more about TravelPlanner in another blog post
within shortly).
Having done
so, we have noticed an increasing interest from users in other countries such
as the Nordics, the rest of Europe, the US and even Asian countries. They visit our site and blog and even with lack of Swedish language knowledge
they seem to be very curious about our service. Many of them have contacted us
to see how they can start using TravelTracker and how to order
it. This is of course extremely fun for us working with Traveas.
In the same
time, our quite aggressive approach towards major players in the Swedish travel
agency market has led to international vibes. Both agency networks (originated
from the Swedish branch) as well as other international players have shown interest of letting us provide their clients with our services. So last week the
Traveas team went for our first European tour, visiting both Paris and
the Business Travel Show in Düsseldorf. This is of course great fun, but primarily it is
a very important confirmation that our way of thinking when it comes to distributing
our services is the right one. We have created something that agencies in many
ways can benefit from.
So, with
all these exciting international opportunities the time has now come for
Traveas to open up our for the rest of the world. We do so by launching an
English version of Traveas.com where now anyone, anywhere in
the world, no matter of which phone operator you use, can search for a
flight and order a tracking service.
This also
means that Traveas – The blog from now on will be written in English.
So, welcome
all international users and readers, wherever you come from! Please do not
hesitate to contact us with any thought about our services, good or bad
doesn´t matter, we would like to know what you think. Cheers!
