12 SaaS Startups in the Transportation Industry

January 24, 2023

SaaS startups have become the darling of Venture Capital investors, especially in the Transportation industry. Over the past decade, software has proverbially “eaten the world” and SaaS companies have scaled to become unicorn corporations in staggering amounts of time.

In this article, we are examining 12 VC funded SaaS startups in the Transportation industry.

Gett

The global market for corporate Ground Transportation Management (GTM), on which Gett is a technological platform, is thought to be worth more than $100 billion. https://gett.com/why Serving more than 25% of the Fortune 500, we are the market leader in the GTM space. Thousands of transportation providers (corporate fleet, ride-hailing, taxi, and limousines) are consolidated into a single platform via Gett's cloud-based software. The platform streamlines the whole employee experience, from booking and riding to billing and analytics, and helps employers save time and money by controlling all of their ground transportation expenses. We are developing the first global ground transportation grid, akin to the telephone and internet grids, with the goal of setting new standards for corporate ground transportation, much like Zoom did for business communications. Gett was established in 2010 and has its main offices in London. To far, the company has attracted more than $750M in financing, including more than $300M from the Volkswagen Group. Over 800 people work for them internationally.

Sirenum

Sirenum is a cloud-based platform enabling agencies, recruiters, and organizations that depend on employees for operational needs to manage the staff lifecycle. The technical foundation on which Sirenum is based is extremely adaptable, enabling us to collaborate with other service providers for features that the system doesn't presently support. If a customer requests certain features up front, we may use this method to supply them even if they would not otherwise have them. When a certain feature is in high demand, they may opt to create it internally rather than using an outside provider, retaining all revenues. Employers who manage complicated shift-based workforces should use Sirenum. The staffing, rail, aviation, building, hospitality, healthcare, home care, deliveries, logistics, and transportation industries are all good fits for Sirenum. Operators in these industries frequently employ hundreds of people or perhaps thousands.
