For business travelers

Stop landing in cities full of contacts you never see.

Your week runs on airports, hotels and meeting rooms. apreet shows you which of your contacts are near each destination, before you fly, so you meet in person, not by accident.

The pain of living on the road

If you travel for work every few weeks, the same cities come back around: the same client city, the same regional hub, the same conference circuit. Somewhere in that rotation are dozens of people you already know, colleagues who moved, old clients, former teammates, but keeping track of who is where, trip after trip, is not something anyone does by hand. So you do not. You land, you work, you go home, and the people you could have seen stay strangers to your calendar.

It adds up. A road-warrior year is fifteen, twenty, thirty trips, each one a missed chance to turn a business trip into a real relationship. Multiply one missed connection by every trip you take, and the cost is not one missed evening. It is a whole travel life spent passing people by.

What apreet does about it

apreet builds an itinerary from the events on your calendar (we use event titles, times and locations, never the notes), and overlays it against the people in your address book. You see in advance who you know at your destination. A mutual itinerary match needs you both on apreet, trips that overlap in time and place, and each other's numbers on both phones. Then you also see when your paths cross.

You stop relying on coincidence. You plan in person.

How can I coordinate meetings with existing contacts while traveling for work?

With apreet, in five steps. apreet does the first two; you pick the people, send the message and agree the time.

  1. Your trip appears. apreet reads the titles, times and locations of your calendar events and builds your itinerary: each city, and the airports on the way.
  2. See who you know there. Next to each stop, apreet lists the people in your address book near that destination.
  3. Pick the people. Choose one person, or several for a dinner or a group coffee.
  4. Send the message. On iPhone, apreet opens Messages with the people you picked, as one group if you like. On Android, you message each person by SMS, WhatsApp or email.
  5. Agree on a time. You settle when and where in that conversation. apreet does not book meetings, send calendar invitations or edit your calendar.

Is apreet useful before my contacts join?

Yes. Most of what you see comes from your own address book, so your contacts do not need apreet.

What you seeWhat it needs

Use cases

Built for the travel weeks you already have

Working out of town

Get your mind off the project: meet an old friend or acquaintance for an evening of quality time. Better than another room-service salad.

A meeting just got cancelled

Suddenly you have two free hours in a city full of people you know. apreet shows you who is nearby; ask who is free.

Tired of room service

Find a friend in town for dinner, fast. Send a quick message and have somewhere to be tonight.

Inviting a small group

Want to meet more than one person at the same time? On iPhone, pick the recipients and send one message. On Android, message each one.

Long layover

Who else will be at the airport? Maybe a coffee, catch up, or a shared cab into town.

Conference week

apreet spots the conference in your calendar and shows who you know near the conference city. Contacts on apreet who confirmed the same event show up as going. Ask the rest, and meet them instead of waving across a room.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions for business travelers

I travel constantly. Will apreet just add more noise?

No. apreet only surfaces people you already know, matched against the trips already on your calendar. There is no feed to check and no daily digest to maintain, since the core workflow is triggered by your next trip.

Does apreet work if I keep visiting the same cities?

Yes, and that is where it helps most. Every time a trip comes up, apreet checks your address book again, so a contact who moved to that city since your last visit shows up on this trip even if they were not there on your first.

I am not actively networking, I just travel for work. Is apreet still for me?

Yes. apreet is not a networking tool in the outreach sense. It does not ask you to build new contacts or work a room. It only ever shows you people already in your address book, so it fits travel that is about the job, not about meeting people.
