Problem
Universities and organizations struggle to effectively track and support the safety and security of their travelers, especially students studying abroad, due to antiquated tracking methods and low engagement with existing safety resources. Students often fail to report their itineraries or update their locations, creating a significant information gap that hinders the institution's ability to provide assistance in emergencies.
Solution
OffWeGo is a mobile platform designed to increase traveler safety and engagement through behavioral science and gamification. The app incentivizes travelers to share their itineraries and travel data by offering social connections, exclusive activities, and student discounts. This data is then streamlined and provided to travel managers, giving them real-time insights into traveler behavior and enabling them to proactively identify and mitigate risks. OffWeGo connects travelers with executive-level safety and security support services, ensuring they have access to assistance when needed.
Target Audience
OffWeGo targets universities, study abroad programs, and organizations with frequent travelers, particularly students, who require a comprehensive solution for ensuring traveler safety and security.
