StayNtouch is an enterprise mobile cloud platform that improves how hotels operate and connect with their guests. Today’s systems that run hotels are overly complex, not cloud-based, not designed for touch or tablets, and lack integrated guest self-service or social capabilities. This limits revenue uplift, capex/opex savings, guest service, and connection. StayNTouch changes this by delivering an entirely new approach to how hotels can dramatically streamline operations and increase margins, how they connect with and engage their guests, and how guests experience their hotels. We’ve done this by creating a two-pronged product strategy that includes a mobility overlay that plugs into the hotel’s existing back-end system AND by creating the world’s first “Post PC-Era” Property Management System (PMS) leveraging the convergence of SaaS/cloud, UI consumerization, tablet and touch computing, as well as guest mobile phones and social technologies, to manage all staff and guest touch points on a single platform. Think Workday for Hotels.

Mynd Calendar also: -Notifies you when you're running late and lets you easily email, call or text the people who need to know from within the calendar. -Automatically identifies conference call numbers and facilitates easy, one-click dial-in. -Discovers the people listed in your calendar events and looks up their LinkedIn profiles and information from your address book, so you know who you’re meeting with and can get in touch with them directly from your calendar. -Pulls in your relevant Evernote notes so that you're always prepared for your next meeting. -RSVP to meeting invites. -Tells you the weather at both where you are and where you're going.

Curb is an online and mobile software application that has revolutionized the taxi industry and seeks to change the way people get around. Curb connects you to safe, reliable rides from the professional taxi and for-hire drivers nationwide. By bringing technology to the taxi and sedan experience, Curb is offering riders choice, reliability, and convenience whenever they ride. Curb’s story is told in three parts. Curb began in 2007 as RideCharge, an online service for business travelers to manage the booking and expensing of taxi rides and other local ground transportation. It soon developed a broader consumer focus, hastened by the adoption of smartphone technology. In our second iteration, Curb was Taxi Magic, the first mobile app for ordering a ride, on-demand. After Apple introduced the App Store as a distribution platform for consumer apps, we built Taxi Magic upon our existing technology and released it in January 2009. Over the next five years, we built a nationwide network of riders, drivers, and taxi companies. In that time, our technology-powered millions of rides and highlighted the challenges facing everyday travelers. In August 2014, Taxi Magic became a Curb to deliver an improved ride experience and consumer choice to ground travelers everywhere. All rides begin and end at the curb, and our technology improves the entire experience from curb to curb by eradicating underlying pain points and making ground travel seamless and hassle-free. Now, Curb is consistently ranked in the Top 50 for “Travel & Tourism” in the App Store and the Android Marketplace. In addition, we have built the Curb Passenger Information Monitor (PIM) that supports credit card payment and entertaining video content. The Curb Network consists of 35,000 taxis with 90 fleets in 60 US cities. By aligning riders, drivers, and fleets, Curb offers a better overall ride experience. The company was founded in 2007 and headquartered in Long Island City, New York.
