Teroplan S.A., operating as e-podroznik.pl, is a significant player in the Polish online travel market, providing a comprehensive journey planner and ticket sales platform. The company was founded in 2007 by Andrzej Soroczyński and Jakub Stuglik, who were later joined by investor Tomasz Hajnos. The idea for the service originated from a master's thesis by two students in Krakow. Initially named Inventors.pl, the company launched its service in 2008 and is now headquartered in Krakow, employing over 100 people.
The firm's core business revolves around its online portal and mobile application, which aggregate timetables for trains, buses, minibuses, and city transport from over 1,200 carriers. This allows users to plan door-to-door journeys, including trips with multiple changes between different modes of transport. Revenue is generated primarily through a transaction fee charged on each ticket sold through the platform, a model adopted in 2013 to replace ad-based income. The platform facilitates online ticket sales for more than 400 domestic and international carriers. Beyond individual travelers, Teroplan serves transport companies with a suite of B2B solutions. It offers free publication of timetables and a more advanced, commission-based model for ticket sales which includes tools for dynamic price management, similar to those used by airlines. The company also provides software, Informica 2.0, for managing timetables and ticket sales, and a dedicated ticketing machine for in-vehicle sales.
A key milestone in the company's history was the 2017 merger with Informica, a firm that provided software for managing timetable data, which was already used by a majority of Polish carriers. This integration created significant synergies, enhancing their product offering for both passengers and transport operators. In March 2019, Wirtualna Polska Holding, a major Polish e-commerce group, acquired a 13% stake for PLN 7.7 million, becoming a minority shareholder while the founders retained a majority stake. This investment was intended to fuel the platform's development in Poland and abroad. Teroplan has expanded its services internationally, operating in Serbia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
