## Q&A
- Q: Any updates???
- Q: Interesting project, I have though some questions. 1) What is the difference comparing of BTP to Skyscanner? 2) I am based in P.R.C. and we use Trip.com business app for our corporate travels. Tickets&hotels are self booked, while we can set approval rules and automatic approval (the cheapest options as default) and reporting. What's new in your solution? 3) what is your defensible IP or hedge? 4) what is the satisfaction level of the final user (corporate travelers) of having the ability to plan their trips reduced ?
