In a context marked by a thriving tourism industry in Africa, the solution was developped by two Kenyan tech entrepreneurs to streamline travel agency operations and enhance the overall traveler experience.

Triply is a digital solution created by a Kenyan startup that enables travel agencies to manage their operations through a unified platform. It assists travelers in organizing business trips or vacations. Founded in 2021 by Peter Wachira and Collins Muthinja, the startup is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.

"We help travel companies manage their online operations, collect payments, and access financial services, while increasing their bookings through our marketplace," the founders explain.

The solution features a mobile app available for both iOS and Android devices. Users can create accounts to access a range of features that support various businesses, including travel agencies, short- and long-term accommodation rental platforms, and event planning companies.

For businesses, Triply streamlines payment collection, messaging management, flight and hotel bookings, as well as customer identity and human resources management. It also includes a marketing management tool that allows clients to make strategic decisions by integrating with major social networks like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Additionally, Triply provides specialized tools for payment collection and accounting management.

Travelers can book vacation accommodations and access travel packages and hotels through its web and mobile platforms. The start-up's financial tools facilitate payments in multiple currencies, simplifying transactions for travelers. In April 2024, Triply was selected to join the Winter 2024 cohort of the California-based accelerator Y Combinator.
