What is TROOP, and why should I care?

It all starts with the question, "Where do we meet?": Click here to see TROOP's explainer video.

TROOP is a data aggregation and visualization technology that helps corporations identify the best meeting location in minutes using real-time data rather than opinions.

Why TROOP?

TROOP is on a mission to reinvent meeting planning, taking an inefficient, drawn-out, and laborious process today and making it simple and quick for anyone to organise a meeting. Workforces are now distributed, and no more extended office based every day, meaning that yesterday's commuter has become tomorrow's business traveler.

Having up-to-date data to decide whether to meet in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format is a must-have for companies of any size; however, this has not been available to access dynamically from a single source until now with TROOP.

As companies focus on their environmental commitments, they are turning to TROOP to help guide their teams as they aim to keep to carbon targets. The purpose of a meeting is more important than ever to understand. When approving a meeting, the costs and time spent traveling are vital data to inform this investment decision.

Staff wellness is key to optimizing performance in today's workforce, and understanding the impact on staff when planning a meeting by understanding the range of time zones people are attending and the time spent traveling to attend the meeting allows for more thoughtful scheduling of the meeting and choice of location.

We have ambitious goals to be the leading solution in introducing an end-to-end experience, including booking, taking our data to where the conversation is being had, and much more.

TROOP's culture?

Our culture is built on an African philosophy called "Ubuntu, "meaning "I am because we are." It refers to an environment of interdependence, the state of being dependent upon one another - Trust. We call ourselves TROOPers, and we are people seeking adventure, challenging the status quo, enjoying innovating, and wanting to be part of something special. We are doers who roll up our sleeves and get into the details; we own the problem and don't stop until it is solved.
