Psiloc provides development API for third party companies so that they can reach a broad customer base of travelers. These plug-ins may often include premium billable content. The main focus of the upcoming services, with more to come, is a tool called Travel Plan.
Travel Plan is an automatic travel planner and calendar which interacts with other plug-ins and helps you plan your entire trip in one inter-connected Plan. It allows you to search for a flight, schedule it and monitor its status, while receiving alerts if it’s changing. One can also book hotels, car rentals and anything else you may need to make your trip a pleasant and effective experience. Travel Plan’s main benefit is being a convenient and interactive smart hub for every essential aspect of your trip.
