DESIGNED AROUND THE MOBILE TRAVEL JOURNEY

Travellers use mobile differently before, during and after booking

Before booking, customers search, compare and save. During checkout, they need efficient traveller and payment forms. After confirmation, they need immediate access to itineraries, tickets, vouchers, instructions, schedule changes and support.

The Mind Gauge designs around these travel moments while connecting the app to supplier, booking, payment and operational services.

The interface lives on the customer’s phone.The booking, fulfilment and support infrastructure remains connected behind it.
