What Tripkicks, Inc. does

Tripkicks, Inc. is a New York-based B2B SaaS company founded in 2018 that sells a behavioral intelligence add-on for corporate travel programs, targeting large enterprises—specifically Fortune 500 and other corporations with dedicated corporate travel programs—and reportedly serving over 300,000 end-user travelers. Travel managers at these organizations use the platform to influence traveler behavior at the moment of booking and to automate program optimization across policy compliance, preferred supplier adoption, cost savings, sustainability goals, and duty of care. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Jeff Berk.

The core product is Tripkicks Catalyst, a unified behavioral intelligence platform that combines live corporate travel data with multi-channel delivery to build self-improving programs. Its architecture centers on a Smart Prioritization Engine using a dual-scoring system: behavioral scores (0-100, built from 12 months of individual booking history covering trip count, compliance rate, last-trip outcome, and recent trends) combined with real-time situational scores (destination familiarity, booking lead time, trip criticality, past engagement) to dynamically surface guidance. The platform includes a Behavioral Playbook of 39 pre-built tactics with defined triggers and KPIs, an adaptive intelligence layer, personalized guidance modules, KPI reporting, and a GenAI-powered policy chatbot. Tripkicks natively integrates with SAP Concur across Home, Flight Search, Hotel Search, Expense, and Search Results touchpoints, and extends delivery to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email, with additional partner content from CIBT (visa intelligence), GATE4 (sustainability), Dinova (dining), FareX (airfare), and other data providers through the Tripkicks Connections framework.

Tripkicks operates on a quote-based annual SaaS subscription model with enterprise field sales as its primary go-to-market motion. The company uses demo-based sales with live walkthroughs in real booking flows configured to prospect priorities, and does not appear to use channel partners or resellers. Marketing relies on thought-leadership content (blog), industry events (GBTA Convention), video demos, email newsletters, and PR. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding beyond an early New York Angels investment in January 2020, holds EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certifications, and reports 1-10 employees despite Fortune 500 client traction.
