The discussed platform, designed for conference organizers, operates within a unique niche with no direct competition from other SaaS providers. It enables conference speakers to book and manage their flights and train travels, with the costs covered by the conference organizers. The platform offers features for budget control, custom fields, automation, and branding, enhancing the efficiency of speaker communications and helping conference organizers distinguish themselves.
Conference organizers can create a profile on the platform, invite speakers, and manage their travel bookings. Speakers receive email notifications to search and request approval for their transportation, which organizers can approve or reject. Once approved, bookings are processed automatically through integrated vendors. While most operations are automated, invoicing, billing, and post-booking support require manual handling. The operation demands 5-8 hours a week, showing seasonality with peak conference periods between March-June and October-November.
The platform primarily serves prestigious European tech conferences, with a few U.S.-based events, and beneficiaries usually become repeat customers. Revenue is generated through a per-traveller booking fee, ranging between 32 and 46 euros, alongside a markup to cover platform and exchange rate costs. Growth prospects include revising pricing models, offering additional services like hotel bookings, enhancing traveler support, and expanding into other travel niches or general business travel. These strategies aim to broaden the customer base while maintaining a distinguished service in travel management for conferences.
