Collaborative trip planning with shared itineraries and voting enabling seamless coordination for group travel reducing planning friction by 60-80%.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Trip organizer sends group text or email thread with proposed plans. 2. Group members respond asynchronously with preferences, creating 50+ message thread chaos. 3. Organizer manually reconciles conflicting preferences and schedules. 4. Final itinerary sent via email - some members miss updates. 5. Day-of changes communicated via text, creating confusion about current plan.
