Do you want to help us continue to disrupt the travel industry? Yapta is doing just that by providing transparency in pricing, and finding flight and hotel savings for our corporate customers. Our software leads the industry by mining millions of air and hotel price checks per day, comparing those prices with our customers booked travel itineraries. We use these checks to identify price drops, rebooking customers for hotel, or re-ticketing for air. In 2018 alone we saved our customers over $125,000,000. We are also very data rich, storing millions of price checks daily. This affords us a tremendous amount of opportunity to innovate on our data for future Yapta products and services. It’s an exciting time to be in this industry!
