webinar
Travel is often not just about traveling itself. A business trip, for example, would probably not be described as relaxing by any employer who often travels by plane or train. But the real stress usually starts already when booking the trip: Budget agreements, finding flights and hotels together often cost a lot of time.
Unlike the holiday travel market, digital disruption has not yet conquered the market with its business counterparts. When TravelPerk was founded in 2015, the founders' goal was to enter this niche by transferring the digital convenience that private vacationers experience to the world of business travel. According to its own figures, TravelPerk has increased its turnover by 700 percent year on year since it was founded.
In order to offer a localized and customized business travel experience to its customers across Europe, TravelPerk is leveraging the digital testing service of Applause.
During our webinar, our speaker Chris will provide you with more practical insights on how TravelPerk tackled their digital challenges and needs such as extending QA capacities, covering user locations and gaining insights on user experience.
Concluding the webinar with a Q&A session to answer questions from the webinar attendees, Chris will also discuss briefly with our tech & engineering expert Mike how real users as testers help to extend the internal testing & QA team.
