Hipmunk, which has essentially been a free metasearch service, is debuting its first paid product: Hipmunk Business Class, a service aimed at small companies that manage their own bookings instead of hire a travel agent.
At today’s Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) 2012 Convention in Boston, Hipmunk pulled the wrapper off of its product for unmanaged business travel booked by executive assistants and other office managers.
Hipmunk Business Class simplifies communication by letting a travel manager save and e-mail potential flight and hotel bookings right from the search results. The product also minimizes toggling between multiple calendars by being integrated with Outlook and Google calendars.
