>>Journera, a data exchange platform for the travel industry, closed a $11.6 million Series B funding round.
Andreessen Horowitz and B Capital led the round. Pritzker Group Venture Capital and the Boston Consulting Group also participated.
Journera was one of Skift's top startups to watch.
One of Journera's most popular services now is for hotels managing early check-in and late check-out hand-off for guests. The service lets hotels using popular property management systems such as Oracle Opera, Protel, Infor HMS, and Mews, to connect to Journera. They can then be alerted by airlines when a customer's flight may have changed a traveler's departure or arrival time.
For a late flight, the data can help hotels plan for a late check-in and timing when housekeeping will turn a room. A hotel could also use the data to make offer relevant upsells, such as for a late check-out.
