TripCase is a Road Warrior’s Toolbox

As a for­mer road war­rior at Dell, I know the chal­lenges of man­ag­ing mul­ti­ple flights, hotels and rental cars. Often I was in 5 dif­fer­ent cities in 5 days. The biggest chal­lenge was hav­ing to add all of the travel details into my out­look cal­en­dar. While trav­el­ing can have it’s perks like good food and loy­alty pro­grams, miss­ing a flight due to arriv­ing at the wrong gate or not hav­ing a con­fir­ma­tion num­ber to check-in can be a total suck fail­ure, as my daugh­ter would call it.

For­tu­nately, Trip­Case is a mobile app, with a web inter­face that allows you to man­age all your travel details in the palm of your hand. The screen­shot to the left is what we used yes­ter­day to pick up Chris Bro­gan at the airport.

Push Noti­fi­ca­tions

One of the most help­ful fea­tures of Trip­Case is the inte­gra­tion of push noti­fi­ca­tions. I can’t tell you how many times I showed up to one ter­mi­nal at DFW only to find they switched ter­mi­nals or gates on dif­fer­ent ends of the same ter­mi­nal. Trip­Case will not only ping you if the gate changes but also if the flight gets delayed. While trav­el­ing to #ABQ over the hol­i­days, both of these events hap­pened and I wasn’t even aware of the fea­ture. Trip­Case is avail­able for iPhone, Black­berry and Win­dows Mobile devices.

TripLog

Another great fea­ture is their TripLog func­tion which allows you to post pho­tos and details about places on your trip and share with oth­ers. I also add my spouse to the noti­fi­ca­tions so she has all my infor­ma­tion as well, which is great should she want to know where I’m at on a given day.

The Social Media Club of Dal­las is delighted to have Trip­Case as a spon­sor for our event with Chris Bro­gan tonight.
