As a Ninja, a big part of your job could be booking travel for your executives, team members, and even yourself. And, while that task sounds relatively simple, you know it doesn’t take much to turn into a large, complicated mess of different service providers, time zones, and frequent flyer rewards.

If this sounds like your day (or days!) whenever you’re booking travel, then technology to the rescue. These four new tech tools promise to alleviate some of the pain—meaning you can get back to all of your other work as soon as possible. Even better? You’ll look like a total rockstar to your team. Wheels up, Ninjas!

Hotel Wifi Test

What is it: Consider this your WiFi spy—Hotel WiFi Test gives you the information you need about a hotel’s WiFi quality.

Why it’s awesome: Sure, plenty of hotels advertise free WiFi, and the term “high speed” gets tossed around pretty frequently. But, when you finally check into your room and realize it takes five minutes to load your inbox alone, you feel a little duped. Hotel WiFi Test helps you avoid this issue completely by giving you the information you need beforehand. Before booking your hotel, search for it in the database. The website will return information about what you can expect when it comes to the speed and quality of the WiFi connection.

How to use it: Simply visit the website and search for the name of your hotel. For extra convenience, download the browser extension to automatically see the WiFi information whenever visiting Hotels.com, Expedia, or TripAdvisor.

Cost: Free

Hotels By Day

What is it: Hotels By Day is challenging the way you think about booking hotels, by allowing you to reserve just a morning or afternoon stay—without paying the overnight fee!

Why it’s awesome: In the past, reserving a hotel room just for the middle of the day probably seemed a little seedy. But, the times are changin’! With Hotels By Day, you can enjoy the convenience of a hotel room—without booking a total overnight stay. No more trying to focus in that crowded coffee shop between meetings in the city. No more changing into your meeting attire in a cramped bathroom stall. Pay a discounted rate to use a hotel room for a few hours in the afternoon, and enjoy a little peace and quiet!

How to use it: Stop by the website and search for an available hotel in your destination.

Duet

What is it: Duet is an app that allows you to use your iDevice (yes, your beloved iPad!) as an additional computer display.

Why it’s awesome: When you’re a Ninja on the go, you love the convenience of your laptop. But, that small screen can be a little obnoxious.

With this handy app, you get the luxury of that additional screen space—using only the devices you’ve likely already brought along with you!

How to use it: Visit the app store, and download the Duet app on your iDevice.
