Empowering the Traveler
The airport is a stressful environment as it is with long security lines and the constant wave of travelers. Now imagine, trying to find a place to eat or buy a last minute gift for a loved one in this maze. Mobility Apps, a leading innovator in the space saw an opportunity to improve the airport experience by creating a mobile guide for airport amenities. We were thrilled to partner with them to take their idea to market, implementing an iPhone application and web backend, to manage the entire ecosystem.
From the get go, the traveler’s experience was central in shaping the design of the application and ensuring that they were able to access information easily. We achieved this by offering a simple interface where the traveler could select the airport, terminal and filter categories to find relevant amenities. The second focus was creating an engaging app to foster an active community of travelers that would fill in details like photos, reviews, flag out-of-date and new amenities to create a self propelling ecosystem. We worked together with Mobility Apps to take the social travel experience further with facebook and twitter integration including contextual posts to share travel with friends and a social leader board to reward content creation.
We are excited to be a part of the GateGuru story and helping travelers change the way they view the airport experience.
