Jayride to launch SaaS Ground Transportation Platform
Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY) (the Company or Jayride), a global ground transportation technology company, is pleased to announce the launch of a new proprietary B2B Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for the ground transportation industry. This new platform represents an evolution of the Jayride business building upon the initial scale and market penetration developed from Jayride’s aggregator model, to create new, highermargin, scalable revenue streams.
Commenting on this launch, Chief Executive Officer of Jayride, Randy Prado said:
“My first priority after becoming the Chief Executive Officer of Jayride was to engage with as many of our loyal, long-standing transport providers as I could across the globe. Through those engagements, a number of key points kept reappearing; the difficulty in receiving payments for work they have done in a timely manner, the complexities of managing their own operations, and – rather encouragingly for us – a continued desire to work with Jayride as an aggregator and ‘feeder’ of new business to them despite some of the current difficulties. Similarly, a primary issue within Jayride is the absence of automation and the significant reliance on manual processing of each booking.
“Today, we are launching a new SaaS-based platform that will address these issues. The platform enables a transport operator of any size to operate on a ‘Powered by Jayride’ technology stack. This platform will provide an integrated payment and payout engine, direct API connectivity to Jayride’s aggregation platform and a fleet and dispatch management tool. We’re also preparing to launch later this year various AI-powered tools, including an AI-powered travel concierge support model, predictive analytics of travel demand for each operator and more.
“A critical piece of this technology is the integration of a payments processing technology, which will allow Jayride to take payments from travellers and remit them to the transport provider through an automated, electronic process. For larger operators, the platform can also be used to make payments to individual drivers. I believe solving the payment processing problem in ground transportation could prove to be a core pillar of our success, and I intend to invest significant time in expanding our activities on this front.
“I am excited to be launching this platform today, and I look forward to working closely with our existing and new transport providers on the progressive rollout of this project in the coming months.”
Jayride Platform Launch
Jayride will today launch a B2B Software-as-a-Service platform for the ground transportation industry, offering transport providers a new way to manage their fleets, pricing, bookings, and payments. The Jayride SaaS platform is a white-label B2B solution that enables transport providers to manage their own fleets, dispatch, pricing, bookings, and payments. It includes real-time API integration with Jayride’s marketplace (the existing aggregator platform), giving providers access to global demand while maintaining full control over their own operations.
The platform offers end-to-end automation, quick settlements, and powerful analytics - all under the operator’s own brand, “Powered by Jayride.” It directly solves the key issues transport providers face - delayed payments, manual operations, poor visibility, and disparate disconnected systems.
Jayride will negotiate engagements with transport providers, it offers this platform to on a bespoke basis, having regard to the size of each operation, existing systems, and operational complexities. The fee structure will include some mix of monthly or annual subscription and licencing fees, transaction-based settlement fees, and tiered premium access to additional tools such as the AI Concierge and the AI Predictive Analytics.

Building on Jayride’s Aggregator Origins
The rollout will follow a staged partner-led model. Jayride is in early confidential negotiations with strategic operators in Thailand, the USA, Malaysia and the Philippines - markets with high fragmentation and technology gaps. Initial clients will be onboarded through existing relationships, with emphasis on regions where Jayride already has volume. A partner success team is currently being formed, with interim support from internal resources and advisors familiar with the transport ecosystem. A global SaaS sales team will be built progressively to scale beyond these early adopters.
For qualified early transport provider adopters, Jayride will also embed commercial incentives in the proposed commercial terms and leverage existing aggregator data to offer curated onboarding support.
The SaaS model offers compelling advantages over the aggregator model, including higher margins, lower operating costs, and significantly greater scalability that doesn’t require a proportional increase in staffing. Importantly, the subscription-based payment structure delivers a reliable and predictable recurring revenue stream, enhancing long-term financial stability and visibility.
Jayride will continue to serve as an aggregator for its thousands of existing transport providers whilst it looks to transition as many operators as possible to this new platform. Jayride will also continue to aggregate transport providers – on the new offering and the legacy system – and offer that supply to our expansive network of travel agents and other partners.
Technology
The technology underpinning the SaaS platform is being licenced by Fairyde Technologies Inc. Fairyde is a travel technology company domiciled in Delaware, USA. It was founded by Patrick Campbell – the Chief Marketing Officer of Jayride. Additionally, Randy Prado, the Chief Executive Officer of Jayride has previously consulted to Fairyde and was involved in the development of the technology, but has no present financial involvement with Fairyde. Opting to licence this technology from parties known to the Company reduces the cost to deliver this strategic shift for Jayride and reduces the execution risk that would come with developing these capabilities inhouse. A further summary of the agreement with Fairyde is set out in an annexure to this announcement.
ENDS
This announcement has been approved by the Board of Jayride Group Limited.
