“With this tool, DeskDemon.com has once again fulfilled its mission to address the needs of the ‘Smart Office Professional’,” said Dave West, CMO and Associate Publisher of DeskDemon.com. “Administrative Professionals are the lynchpin of the organization, and are in need of a tool that takes the hassle out of the time-consuming task of coordinating travel for the business – TripSync does just that.”

“This is an ideal match of need, tool and person,” said Evan Newman, COO of Portaga, Inc., the maker of TripSync. “We know that travel management is one of the most vexing duties an office professional faces – supervising schedules, finances and reporting across multiple travelers before, during and after a trip can be daunting. TripSync was built with the administrative professional in mind.”

For the DeskDemon user, TripSync is free to obtain, free to use, free to book, and easy to adopt by one person or a whole company. It is the only travel booking tool integrated into Microsoft Outlook®, Google™ Calendar, the Firefox® and Internet Explorer® browsers and now, DeskDemon.com. With TripSync, the administrative professional can manage complex itineraries for one or more people, book and hold a trip for 24 hours, obtain company-negotiated fares, manage credit cards and traveler profiles, submit pre-trip approvals, and handle post-trip reporting for the entire workplace. TripSync’s unique drag-and-drop scheduling hides the complexity of re-booking through simple mouse-gestures. Moreover, TripSync is the only complete travel tool for the mobile professional, empowering them to create and modify travel plans on the road from their web-enabled phone or PDA. The executive can change a hotel from the taxicab, and her admin will know by glancing at the calendar.
