TRAVLR

What TRAVLR does

TRAVLR is a B2B2C white-label travel commerce platform that enables enterprises to embed branded hotel, flight, car hire, cruise, experience, and insurance booking experiences inside their own digital ecosystems. Originally founded in 2014 as The Bali Bible (a consumer travel content brand), the company pivoted to commerce in 2017 and relaunched in 2019 as a multi-tenant SaaS platform. Its product is built on a modular architecture aggregating 2.6M+ hotels, 800+ airlines, 300K+ experiences, 500+ car rental companies, and 40+ cruise lines from 50+ global suppliers (Expedia, Agoda, Hotelbeds, Amadeus, Viator, WebBeds, Jactravel, HBX Group, TourRadar, Carnect, and others), with RESTful APIs, an SDK suite (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, React Native), a feature-flag system for per-partner configuration, and sub-200ms API latency at 99.98% uptime. TRAVLR operates as merchant of record, handling payments, settlement, tax compliance, and chargebacks across 132+ payment methods and 30+ currencies, and holds PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certifications.

The company's commercial model combines a monthly SaaS platform license, transaction-based margin share on bookings, and one-time implementation fees, with custom pricing for each enterprise partner and 12-24 month contracts. Go-to-market is exclusively enterprise-direct and OEM/white-label: TRAVLR has no consumer-facing acquisition, and all end-user distribution flows through partner brands. Its named customers include Telstra (Telstra Plus Travel, 20M+ members), Afterpay (Play Travel, 16M+ users), Air New Zealand (staff travel benefits), Latitude Financial, The Bali Bible, HolidayMore, National Travel Club, Queer Destinations, and 480+ travel agencies. Target verticals are loyalty programmes, fintech and banking, media and publishers, retail and telco, travel clubs, travel agents, airports, and influencers. Founded and led by Simon te Hennepe (founder and CEO) with CTO Stuart Rowe, TRAVLR is a private, founder-controlled proprietary limited company domiciled in Sydney, Australia, with 51-100 employees and approximately AUD 11.8M in disclosed funding to date across rounds dating back to 2014, including a ~AUD 5M round with Gandel Invest in October 2021 and the 2024 acquisition of reZme.
