The challenge

Finding a fair fare means scrolling a hundred tabs — while thousands of travel agents with better rates have no direct way to reach travelers who are ready to book.

What we built

A two-sided marketplace: travelers post one request for flights, trains, buses or hotels, and verified agents compete with live bids. Travelers compare price, ratings and response time side by side, chat with their agent, and pay securely only when they're happy.
