Strategic Review: Towards Profitability

Stricter focus

In Q3 FY23 Jayride completed a strategic review identifying five key focus areas towards profitability

Status

Expanded capacity and capability to grow higher contribution direct to consumer and travel agent channels. Focus on profitability over volume, removing unprofitable trips through process enhancements. New pricing strategy Unwound complex discounting models that were intensive to maintain and limited visibility. Implemented net plus pricing model to maximise yield and limit operating overhead. Significant cost reductions Restructured fixed cost base around profitable channels and value adding activities. Optimised variable costs to support the stricter focus and new pricing model strategies. Improving supplier relationships Implementing quoting and booking APIs to enable transport and fleet management integrations Q1 FY25 Operational scale and efficiencies Advancing opportunities for acquisitive growth Q2 FY25 Delivering new technology to improve operations and reduce costs with a focus on automation Q2 FY25

More to come as we continue to iterate on these developments
