Hiyacar
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin
Car fiend Graeme worked long hours in the City and knew his car cost him money just to sit on his drive, doing nothing. Not so much an asset, more of a liability.
With the help of e-commerce expert Rob, the pair realised that a car-sharing app (an ‘AirBnB for cars’) might offer a smarter, more environmentally friendly way for people in Britain to hire the 10 million cars rented here every year. The pair began work in August 2014, and it soon became clear that the obstacle to unlocking the value in people’s cars was simple: the keys, and the time it took to hand them over.
The team worked on an app-controlled box which allowed users to unlock cars direct from the app. The QuickStart® box was born.
Rob and Graeme hired their first employee in 2016, and have watched hiyacar evolve into a friendly, living community, and a company of 16 people. hiyacar still puts people first – and unlike others they were born and bred in Britain.
Each hiyacar shared could take the equivalent of 11 vehicles off the road. People are getting to know their neighbours, too.
Hiya Owners add personal touches, such as putting ribbons on a car for a wedding. It’s a new way to drive, and something they are very proud of..

They provide a simple API for booking any travel product on a supplier website. In the current metasearch model customers are passed off to the supplier to complete a booking.
This means customers often drop off – a particular problem on mobile. And as metasearch you can’t integrate an expensive distribution system as that would defeat your price advantage.
Their automation technology allows you to control the end-to-end customer experience. Your customers remain on your site or app for the full transaction.
You build an experience for booking as smart as you already do for search – even on mobile. This keeps customers on your site, increasing your brand equity, customer loyalty and significantly enhances the overall user experience.
And of course, that adds up to much better conversion. They know direct booking is the future of metasearch, and they can provide the means for you to achieve it today..

SpeediFly
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin
SpeediFly is the world`s first social travel platform for ultra spontaneous travellers, providing end-to-end booking based on user interests, and last minute flight and accommodation availability. Recent surveys indicate that 66% of UK Millennials are spontaneous enough to book a flight departing within 72 hours and 83% of the same group are willing to change their schedule if they find a flight to a cool destination under £50.
SpeediFly exploits this emerging trend for impulsive decision-making to turn itself into the ultimate catalyst for spontaneous travel for Millennials. The current problem on the market is that booking travel is an impersonal and price-centric lonely process.
None of the old-fashioned travel platforms make proper use of data analytics for recommendation purposes. All you see on such platforms is “cheap”, “low-cost”, “discounted”, “limited-time” deals – it is all about the price and nothing about the experience itself.
In addition, travel platforms are not social, making it hard for young people to organize group trips as they are now used to doing with Uber or Airbnb. SpeediFly is a direct response to this problem.
By asking users about their interests and leveraging data from social media, SpeediFly makes people-centric and personalized last-minute travel recommendations to individuals and groups of people. SpeediFly lets users invite their Facebook friends, build in-app travel communities, invite others to specific trips, start group bookings and split fares at the end, just like on Uber.
By tracking users’ in-app activities, our system is capable of predicting what they are likely to book. This allows SpeediFly to make customized recommendations based on user behavior instead of simply trying to sell the cheapest available flights..

Send My Bag
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin
Send My Bag helps you travel with what you want at a price which makes sense. Skip bag-drop, no more baggage carousel waits and never pay excess baggage again.
From foreign exchange students and ex pats, to family vacations Send My Bag can save you money, time and hassle. Airlines are faced with growing direct costs and restricted growth.
Baggage touches both pain points; representing a direct cost in terms of fuel, landing duties and handling costs & an indirect cost as a barrier to turning around more planes within the limited daily slots. To combat the cost of handling baggage, airlines are seeking to reduce the amount checked whilst charging significantly more for that which is.
The CEO of Europe’s largest low cost airline has stated he will “price luggage out of the hold”. Baggage however is not only a problem for European low cost airlines; in the last decade the revenue achieved from baggage fees in the USA has grown from $400M to $4B.
One journalist described the modern traveller as being fleeced like sheep and herded like cattle, checked baggage fees are growing, hand luggage only flights are coming and baggage allowances are falling; despite this over 1.5 billion flights will be taken in 2014. Send My Bag is not a “luggage concierge” service for the wealthy; they endeavour to be a mass market solution which will disrupt the airline industry by revolutionising the courier industry..
