In-person events and company retreats are powerhouses for team building and morale boosting. Consistent research has proven that company retreats are beneficial to companies. Harvard Business Review has pointed out that there is a 26% increase in productivity among employees after participating in off-site retreats. 

These events are perfect for networking, team bonding, and strategic planning, bringing great value to any company. But organizing group events? That can be a real headache. Coordinating travel for large groups is a huge challenge.

The Challenge

Midstay’s rapid growth has brought more work demands, especially for its remote team. Organizing retreats for groups of 40 to 50 people became quite a logistical challenge.

“We bring the whole world together, with people coming from New York, Seattle, Mexico, China, and beyond,” explained Florian Jacques, founder of Midstay. Managing group flight bookings, accommodations, and itinerary planning manually became overwhelming. “We used to do it ourselves, but it was a bit of a pain. If there’s a solution that makes it seamless, we’d rather do it with a partner,” he added.

The Solution

Midstay reached out to TruTrip to investigate different travel management options. The Midstay team was satisfied with TruTrip’s approach, especially their collaboration with Customer Success to understand Midstay’s unique needs. This willingness to adapt and work together was essential.

“The product head, Sani, had a call with us to understand our needs better and how we can integrate in the future. Seeing TruTrip’s roadmap and how they plan to develop in a way that meets our needs is exactly what we’re looking for,” Florian noted.

TruTrip’s concierge feature was a good fit for booking group flights. It simplified the complex process of managing group travel logistics, significantly easing the burden on Midstay’s team.

The Results

Adopting TruTrip has transformed Midstay’s group flight bookings and streamlined operations, providing several key advantages:
