How it started
The company's narrative began in 2016, though its origins trace earlier. Founders Chris and Mark possessed prior experience working with transport operators and understood industry challenges firsthand. They recognised deficiencies in existing market products and chose to develop a simple but powerful software solution, flexible enough to fit businesses of all shapes and sizes.
The software launched in April 2016 and expanded rapidly. Companies from over 30 countries across 5 continents adopted the platform. We now aim to connect the global group transport industry through our Global Booking Network at hireabus.com.
