In this article, we’ll give you our suggestions of the best tech to take with you on your next business trip so you have a more comfortable, productive, and relaxing time.
Airbolt
Keeping your luggage safe is one of the main concerns for frequent travelers and that’s why many opt for small locks that work with a key or passcode. But what happens if you forget your key or the passcode combination? With the Airbolt, that won’t be an issue. With its smart technology, the Airbolt lock is controlled directly from your smartphone where you can customize your security settings. And if you happen to lose your smartphone? The Airbolt is prepared for that too: you can always unlock your Airbolt lock from another device or use a backup button that functions as a traditional lock.
Logitech Flexible Keyboard
Nowadays it is impossible to work on a business trip without bringing along a smartphone or a laptop. And despite the impressive technological advances of the last few years, it seems our fingers are still not used to typing up entire documents or long emails on a touchscreen.
Since we know your limited luggage space is precious, we recommend a flexible keypad like this ones from Logitech that easily bends to fit into a backpack or a carry-on suitcase (plus it’s waterproof).
FitKicks
Frequent travellers know all too well the physical discomforts that start to show up after a few hours on a flight. The FitKicks were created precisely to help alleviate some of these hassles. Ideal for the busy lifestyle of the 21st century, the FitKicks are easy to put on and are made with flexible material so they can easily fit in your suitcase. Designed to adapt to the natural shape of your feet and allow for total range of movement, the FitKicks are the ideal solution for a more comfortable journey.
IRIScan Portable Scanner
The last thing you need at the end of a business trip is to come home with even more paperwork. With the IRIScan, you can simply scan each document and the file will be automatically saved to its internal memory or an SD card – your call. From the IRIScan app, you can then select the preferred format of your file (including Microsoft Word, Excel or PDF) and transfer it to your cloud system of choice or send it to someone via email.
The portable scanner also works for business cards, allowing you to scan the information from these cards so that you don’t have to keep physical ones with you.
