The world is flat and its becoming flatter at that. The statement made has one of the best known thought leaders globally who has seen global changes happening and has been a part of one of India's most successful entrepreneurial stories.
Business travel and the flat world!
While business in times today is going global and much is happening in the world around, it becomes an absolute essential for every business (whether small, emerging OR established) to be aware and participate actively in the many opportunities created due to emerging technology.
With emerging technology, one of the industries which has been affected most positively is the travel industry. While there are many travel websites, which allow you to not just book tickets online, but in a way plan your travel as well, there is always a need of that one specialized offering which does it all for you.
International travel: challenge for SMEs
Business travel for the young achievers is increasing and it requires intelligent planning. Costs of International travel are still a good part of the business planning for any start-up or an emerging business. Getting a global perspective on things is crucial in times today and traveling is one way by which emerging business leaders are really able to experience first hand, the established and well working processes of businesses outside their country and how they can leverage similar methods and technology in their country!
But such travel involves major cost for the emerging enterprise and hence has to be carefully and meticulously planned.
Now you have your personal business travel : Plnnr
We know our spellings of a 'Planner', but this online application called plnnr might just know your business travel the best and help you plan it just right for you! From figuring out logistical issues to booking multiple tickets and arranging for documents, international business travel is always critical and involves many elements.
plnnr helps you create and establish an approach which suits your business travel plans the best.
What do I need to get started with plnnr?
To get started, all you need is a facebook account and be prepared with your destination and the travel dates.
Once you set the 'mood' for your first trip you are asked to select a travel theme. Post which you set the intensity levels and the luxury levels and wallah, plnnr lists out your entire itinerary.
The video below, along with the screen captures above show the platform and how it can really be useful :)
While plnnr uses the power of the existing Google maps, what it intelligently does is list down an entire itinerary for your travel which is a great help! It generates a day by day agenda which you can pursue at a particular location and you can still go ahead and customize the trip according to your likes and dislikes.
Benefits for SMEs
Amongst many others, one of the strongest benefits for any Small and Medium Enterprise provided by plnnr is the day by day itinerary setting. While you might not even be knowing much about the place you are visiting, you get to know the important places etc. in a jiffy, which makes your travel easier and far simpler. And not just that, it makes you better prepared for many other aspects like food, stay etc. Though it might not really be saving cost for an emerging business, plnnr surely saves on the time which goes in meticulously planning the crucial business trips.
There are many such online platforms available, which are benefiting the Small and Medium Enterprise segment. To know more, get in touch with the experts at IndiaMART Knowledge Services. Do drop in a comment to this post to let us know what else would you want us to share about!
