Jyrney’s vision is to integrate and better connect mobility with business travel.

We enable travel management companies to launch and scale new mobility services. By consolidating the ground transport market, Jyrney offers its clients a one-stop solution and single API for all their first and last mile needs.

Going beyond distribution, Jyrney utilizes historic trip data to predict and facilitate on time performance of the car, solving the biggest challenge in ground transport by removing the friction in passenger pick ups.

Strategic goals for 2023
Today less than 3% of all travel management companies transactions are ground transport, which is crazy as each flight generates two ground trips. So where do all these trips go?

Jyrney’s mission is to bring ground transport into policy and move it further up the agenda for TMCs, travel technology providers and travel buyers.

In 2023 we will continue to develop our world-class supply chain with both trusted local operators and leading global network providers. We will work with leading travel technology companies to ensure ground transport is integrated within their booking journeys and available alongside air, rail and hotel segments.

Once we do this, we will continue to surprise our new and existing clients with the difference an integrated and performance managed ground transport solution makes to their travelers’ experience.

Lessons learned since founding

Nothing, not even a global pandemic, can stop either business travel or innovation!

The pandemic has changed perception of business travel, with a higher value placed on the high touch services offered by travel management companies.

With more people working from home, first and last mile travel plays an even more important role in travel programs. With air, rail, hotel and car hire largely optimized over the last few decades, ground transport might just be the last frontier!
