OCTO - Open Connectivity for Tours, Activities and Attractions’ Post

I like to look back on why we created Lato. The best ideas often come from frustration. For me, Lato was born from the pain of spending endless hours on repetitive admin tasks when creating travel quotes. Like many in the travel industry, I found myself re-entering the same data across different platforms, wasting time that could be better spent crafting amazing travel experiences. I realized there had to be a better way. What if we could bring all travel data into one tool, streamlining quotes, sales, and even travel apps? That’s how Lato started — with a simple idea to make life easier for travel professionals. I’m proud of what we’ve built and excited for what’s next. 👉 Follow us to see how we continue to innovate and support the travel industry. #TravelTech #Innovation #TravelIndustry

So, right now our team is working on a pretty cool project in the travel and exploration space, which we’re super excited about. We’ve been deep into #traveltech for a while, and I gotta say, I’m really proud of what we’ve pulled off. So that also reminded me of a past project that I really loved working on. Here are a few highlights from a past project in the travel tech from ROOM4: - We helped develop a travel app that snagged $2.25 million in investment 🔥 - The company ended up forming partnerships with 200+ businesses to boost growth. - Shortly after launch, the app was getting over 10,000 user sessions per week. Was it a success story? Definitely. We can’t take all the credit, but I am still pretty happy to have been part of it. So, how did we get here? - Clear goals from day one - no messing around. - Our tech and marketing teams were in sync the whole way, each owning their roles. - Experience played a big role. Since 2015, we’ve been fine-tuning how we work with clients, and it’s paid off big time. If this sounds interesting and you’re looking for a partner to help build your own success story, hit me up. Who knows, maybe your project will be the one I’m writing about in a year! 😉

At TravelTime, we're seeing a pattern: Successful, innovative and forward-thinking companies that are becoming time-centric What I mean by that is that they display & rank search results by time rather than distance. 🏠 Zoopla (part of Houseful) is an example of a property portal that's switched to a successful time-centric search powered by our own TravelTime Tachyon 📈 The Result? 300x increase in conversions 💼 Staffing and recruitment company, Side.co is another that "realised that using kilometres wasn’t good enough." Hugo Michalski, Co-Founder and CTO at Side says, "What's important is not how far away a job is, but how much time it will take you to get there." How does this work in practise? Will it be applicable to our site? Screenshot from the Side App here is proof if proof be need be that this really works
