Company mission
To help travelers move freely around the world.
Our take
Sherpa’s software allows travel companies to make cross-border travel more negotiable for customers by integrating bureaucratic requirements, such as e-visas, into their packages. Strangely, such a service has long been a rarity, with travel booking and red-tape management usually being carried out separately.
The company pre-dates the Covid-19 pandemic by five years, but naturally saw its popularity soar as travel restrictions grew at an unprecedented rate. It’s gained some major clientele along the way such as Expedia, American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Star Alliance.
With the “new normal” set to cloud the waters in travel for some time to come, as well as the simple fact that Sherpa is filling a gap in the travel market, the company’s continued international expansion seems quite a safe bet.
