The Client

TripFlick is a Singapore based tourist information services company aspiring to become a global leader in the information services market for the tourism industry.

Neev Solution

Neev enabled TripFlick users to create a personal trip plan that can be downloaded (as an application) on to a mobile phone during the travel. A user can provide preferences for food, interests, and places of travel as part of his/her profile. An intelligent rule engine then creates travel itineraries and geo-localized list of Places of Interest (POIs) based on the profile.
