Tripit Joins Forces on an App to Make Travel Easier

TripIt, the mobile trip organizer from Concur, introduced a new app feature by joining 1,200 different companies using TripIt's open API platform.

Travelers can connect their TripIt account with Avis.com

. Itineraries auto-populate new reservations and help Avis anticipate changes in travelers' schedules.

By sharing trip itineraries automatically on FlyMuch.com, travelers can get recommendations from friends and social networking connections, and build an online travel profile.

Travelers can also get personalized restaurant deals in the cities they're traveling to by connecting their TripIt account with Foodiebytes.com.

"It's an exciting time for TripIt, as we explore new ways of putting travelers' itineraries to work for them," said Gregg Brockway, executive vice president and general manager of TripIt.
