Why This Matters

What It Is

Social sharing and family coordination features with real-time updates enabling seamless communication and 80-90% reduction in coordination overhead.

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Traveler forwards confirmation emails to family members for emergency contact. 2. Family member must parse 5-10 separate emails to understand traveler's schedule. 3. No real-time location or status updates during travel. 4. Traveler must manually text family at each leg ('landed in Chicago'). 5. Shared itinerary via Google Doc or PDF quickly becomes outdated.

Characteristics

Pain Points

⚠ Fragmented communication across multiple platforms leading to information silos.
⚠ Version control issues due to static document sharing causing outdated information.

⚠ User adoption challenges with new technology among travelers.
⚠ Advanced itinerary management software may be costly for smaller agencies.
