Ben Kazez founded the app creating company Mobiata in August 2008. In its first year the company generated more than $1 million in earnings and became a top app company in the business travel niche. In fact, its top-selling app, FlightTrack, was one of apps listed on Mashable’s “6 Essential Android Apps for Business Travel” in 2010.
FlightTrack has that elusive combination that the best apps always seem to have being both beautiful and usable. It enables air travelers to track flights and their arrivals and departures in real time through the phones in their hands. Within days of its iPhone app launch in November 2008, FlightTrack became the top-selling travel app at that time.
FlightTrack was just the beginning. Some of the other mobile phone apps Kazez and Mobiata created are HotelPal, FlightBoard and TripDeck. HotelBoard gives users the power to browse and book from more than 100,000 hotels across the globe. It also has availability information, photos and reviews. On the other hand, FlightBoard is an amazing app that turns your phone into the real time arrivals and departures board for any airport in the world. According to Mobiata website, the flight board was designed after the Charles de Gaulle Airport’s. Moreover, TripDeck is a free app that gives the user the ability to manage flights, car rentals, hotel reservations, meetings, restaurant reservations and cruises all through a single app.
Continued success, according to Mobiata’s website, “comes from a combination of working extraordinarily hard, being meticulous about design, focusing on user experience and making sure that every one of our products is an indispensible tool for travelers. We take exceptional pride in our products and we think it shows.”
