With the Microsoft BizSpark Award, 1ClickTrips - a startup of the EFEXCON Group - wins the prize for the best business travel startup. With our innovative algorithms, we harmonize and combine different data sources to provide answers to questions that were previously impossible.
Before the coronavirus changed the world, booking business trips was a frustrating, ongoing activity. Time-consuming, cost-intensive, non-transparent and often with unsatisfactory results. And anything but intuitive, integrated and certainly not door-to-door.
Business Travel Startup. Rethink Good Practice.
Business travel is not about the actual trip, but about optimal travel logistics for business appointments. The trip is only a means to an end, the starting point is the business meeting.
We therefore focus on the scheduling of business meetings and derive the best multimodal door-to-door trip alternatives, including overnight stays:
Enter meeting date(s) and duration. Get the best travel alternatives. Book end-to-end.

The fact that we had hit a nerve with our approach was demonstrated not only by multiple awards, but also by the reaction of potential competitors.
Outlook
We are proud to have won multiple awards, including the Microsoft BizSpark Award for Best Business Travel Startup.
With a long feature list and exciting business partners, we were attacked by competitors with various means during the market tests and then caught cold by the effects of Corona on the travel market.
The knowledge, algorithms and code are in our drawer - and offer potential for alternative solutions - we already have new ideas for a blockchain-based approach to our solution.
