Travellers care about minutes not miles. iGeolise can help users to find locations they want by the traveltime and transport mode available, which boosts conversions.
About
Search results for locations such as properties, jobs, hotels, restaurants, shops etc used to displayed by miles (within 5 miles / 10 miles etc). But now more and more clients are linking their websites to the iGeolise’s traveltime platform so that their users can search by the travel time and transport mode of their choice. The reason is simple – when travelling to a location, you care about the travel time and the transport mode, not the distance. Many clients report that because every result displayed by travel time is geographically relevant, they achieve 2 and 3 times as many conversions when compared to the old distance search. In the UK, clients include Rightmove, Zoopla, Jobsite and many (many) more. The platform is live across most European countries, the USA and many other countries; it ranks and sorts over 1 billion locations a month, and returns results in an average of 0.7 seconds. Our demo site is https://app.traveltimeplatform.com . Our clients build and control their own user screens, and they send the user’s search query to the TravelTime platform (an API call); we then instantly generate the response and return the geographically relevant results to our client who can display it on a map / as a list … in any way they want. Virgin (https://travelplus.virginatlantic.com/ ) already offer a hotel search where the description of most hotels includes general travel time – ‘10-min drive to Walt Disney World Resort‘, and ‘20-min drive to SeaWorld® Orlando’ … so Virgin know that travel times matter. iGeolise’s TravelTime platform can enable Virgin’s user to actually search by travel time. There are many features within the TravelTime platform that a Virgin user would value – such as the ability to search for a hotel that’s ‘within 10 mins walk of the beach, and also 15 mins by public transport of clubs and bars’). [The UK’s largest estate agency group, Countrywide use this feature on http://traveltime.propertywide.co.uk, so that 2 people who want to live together but work in different locations can find a property in the ‘overlap’ area.] And of course – we also return the complete, door to door, turn by turn, multimodal route to each location that can display on mobile, desktop, tablet … any device you like.
