Location Finder

Find the optimal location to meet with your remote team
Any plans for meeting your remote team? We've built a simple free tool that calculates the most optimal location to bring everyone together. It considers:
⏱Average travel time per person
🛬 Average number of layovers per person
💸 Estimated flight costs

Can I actually book these flights directly from your tool?

@stefooo You can click on the search results and you will be redirected to the Kiwi.com (the tool is built on their fantastic API) where you can book that specific flight. However, Location Finder is not really a booking tool. Rather it acts as an "advisor" to help you decide the best location for your next company meetup ✈️

Booking the flights and getting a remote team together on one spot can be a quite a challenge, even with the flight search tools like Google Flights and Kayak. They are optimized for individuals, not groups. We've built a tool based on Kiwi.com API that solves this problem. It searches flight connections of more than 500 airlines and finds an optimal destination to meet your remote team. It is not a booking tool - it acts as an ‘advisor’ to help you discover the optimal location to host your next retreat or company meetup.

This is awesome! We're a distributed team so I can really empathise with what you're trying to do. Genuinely considering having our team meet up now..... We're working on a platform to help remote/distributed teams be more productive (https://www.getstreak.com), but sometimes an in-person connection is the most valuable thing. Thank you for building this!

@tonymaguire90 Thank you Tony! We also have a service for planning remote team meetups (https://www.thesurfoffice.com/), check it out. Streak is very interesting! Have you considered to connect it with existing project management tools? We use Trello and I can imagine Streak as a powerful "gamification layer" on top of it.

@faborio Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look! We have :). Our roadmap is: • Slack integration (manage everything from Slack super seamlessly) • Project management integration (Asana, Trello etc.) • Additional team owner powers • Better task planning

@tonymaguire90 Nice! I'd go very niche: "Add gamification to your Trello boards and increase productivity of your remote team" Much easier to market a validate the product + you can always expand to more project management tools, etc.

@faborio Thanks for the suggestions! Good luck with Location Finder & The Surf Office - I'll be taking a deeper look at them today. :)
