Roadmap Helps Business Travelers Stay Connected With the Vonage SMS API

Roadmap is a mobile tool for travelers designed to create happy travelers and happy travel managers. The customizable iOS and Android app allows travel agents, enterprise companies, and travel management companies to create a mobile-friendly overview of their entire trip and creates relevant and local suggestions to save travelers’ time, money and create a far better travel experience.

With over 600,000 travelers across 40 countries using Roadmap every month, the company wanted to make the traveling experience as simple and easy as possible. To achieve this, Roadmap sought a globally scalable SMS solution to enable easy user verification and SMS notifications for delays, trip details, booking changes, and the like.
