Business travel has a significant impact on our planet, but doing business often requires face to face meetings. If a business trip cannot be avoided, let's make conscious choices. Powerful Raphide tech does the trick! With the Raphide tech we are on a mission to make Business Travel sustainable. Substantiate why the journey is necessary, opt for mobility with the lowest CO2 emissions (SDG 13), optimize safety and well-being of the business traveler (SDG 3), and make conscious supplier choices (SDG 17). With Raphide tech travel managers, sustainable leaders and security managers get grip on a true business travel process. The Raphide tech consists of three modules that can be integrated into the existing booking process. Module-1 registers and approves trip necessity based on a decision tree. Module-2 measures CO2 emissions for Air & Rail travel, tracks CO2 budgets, and offers incentives for sustainable travel. Module-3 introduces the EU Railscanner®, simplifying European Rail bookings. We believe that with a few simple technical adjustments, a booking and decision-making process can become truly sustainable and significant impact can be made.

eco.mio supports companies in significantly reducing their CO2 emissions in the business travel sector by rewarding more environmentally friendly behavior by employees. By integrating the software into the existing booking landscape, business travelers are motivated when booking, for example to decide on a train instead of a flight, economy class or more climate-friendly hotels.

ChargeHolidays is an app and platform that allows customers to start their sustainable journey during the booking process. Our goal is to give business travelers the opportunity to find more sustainable options, individually and conveniently. Some features that we offer are transparent insights into the sustainability behavior of the accommodations as well as the calculation of the carbon footprint and its compensation for the travelers and the entire company. ChargeHolidays also enables a combination of booking sleeping places and filtering by charging places for corresponding e-vehicles.

We are convinced that augmented reality offers unique opportunities to exchange ideas using 3D models. This requires a platform to which 3D models can be uploaded and on which other participants can view these 3D models across devices (e.g. in the web browser or on the Microsoft HoloLens 2) at the touch of a button. This and more is made possible by our Platform HoloDesk.

We offer our customers a solution approach to optimize processes, reduce costs and better sell products. We focus on use cases that are related to collaboration: discussion of products in 3D, sales support, remote support. Thanks to the modular design and individual extensions (e.g. HoloDesk Progress), it is also possible to map further use cases such as maintenance and quality assurance processes.
