Planify is building momentum. After onboarding several international travel agencies based in Europe, the startup's group travel solution has been chosen by the Silicon Valley Innovation Center. The venture led by Sébastien Flury has also been selected to pitch at ibtm world in Barcelona. 

Planify Group Travel mobile application allows its users to always have a complete and up-to-date program of their trips in their pocket. Organizers of group travels who use Planify, ranging from study trips to incentive travels, benefit from a highly structured and user-friendly web platform to design and enrich travel itineraries with all the needed information for a pleasant trip.

Group travel organizers face many challenges in planning trips and sharing detailed programs with travel participants. Put under pressure by participants asking for full travel plans while waiting for last-minute changes to provide a “final” travel program, group travel organizers often end up relying on PDFs or paper programs.

Instead of sending new iterations of the program by email on a regular basis, what could group travel organizers do to meet participants’ needs while adjusting the program at the same time?  With smartphones now being ubiquitous, Planify mobile application offers a simple, engaging, and cutting-edge experience for incentive or group travel participants to always have the most recent version of their trips at their fingertips.

After its successful commercial launch at the beginning of 2017, Planify has been very active, onboarding international travel agencies such as Unifest in Russia, BCD Travel in Romania, Absolute Corporate Events in the UK and the Founders Kite Club in Germany. Planify is also used by leading Swiss travel agencies such as Finass Reisen or Tech Travel, which have chosen this mobile application to provide their customers with a modern solution for group travel. Visitor information centers like Lausanne Tourisme also use Planify for their “fam trips” (familiarization trips) to welcome media delegations to Switzerland. Last but not least, the startup led by Sébastien Flury has just announced that its solution has been chosen by Silicon Valley Innovation Center in California.

Next week will be particulary busy for Planify. The startup based at EPFL Innovation Park will be exhibiting at the famous ibtm world travel fair, which will take place in Barcelona from November 28th to 30th. ibtm world is the leading global event for the industry of meetings, incentives, conferences, and business trips, gathering more than 15’000 professionals from the MICE industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing & Exhibitions).

Furthermore, Planify has also been selected by the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence to pitch to a selected audience of incentive travel professionals before the beginning of the ibtm world show. London-based Event Tech Lab, an association that supports event technology startups, has also chosen Planify to present its Group Travel solution on the main stage of ibtm world on Wednesday, 29th of November.
