Below, we asked Roamr to share strategic goals for 2026 and lessons learned since founding.
Strategic goals for 2026
Our plans for 2026 is to continue saving companies money on travel. We'll be focusing on ramping up our customer base in the US and launching some AI products drive more savings and rewards. We've found a model that is a win for both the employer and the employee, so our focus is to spread that message to every corner of the globe. We're in 100+ countries already since launching 2 years ago so 2026 is all about expansion for us.
Lessons learned since founding
Some things we have learned in travel is that travel and finance managers are frustrated with the lack of transparency from software vendors and the misalignment between customer and travel tool. Most travel booking platforms want the customer to spend more money on hotels because that's how they make their cut.
We've also see huge readjusting of travel spend where the focus is bringing teams together regularly to build connection and culture. The challenge is the macro climate is putting a rigorous eye on all spend items so we need to get more out of those budgets. At the same time employees are sick of really poor technology in travel. They are screaming out for modern, consumer grade products and corporate travel seems to lag here. Companies are seeking novel ways to readjust their employee value prop and rewards and incentives in travel as a means of doing that are growing in popularity.
