Our take

Caravelo is using software to bring commercial innovations to the often slow-moving Airline and travel industry.

Pressures on the low-margin industry have opened a door for Caravelo’s products that tangibly boost profits. The startup focuses on high leverage offerings, such as introducing a pioneering subscription model that delivers recurring revenue to airlines such as WizzAir. The clear margin-boosting effects of reliable customer retention by Caravelo services means that the startup has been able to consistently acquire new customers in what is typically an industry guarded to change.

The company is focused on continuing this strong acquisition for each of its major product offerings, as well as launching new high-impact products for its current roster of customers.
