Our take
Businesses often use many different platforms or self-created systems to organise and structure their Activities and Tours. TrekkSoft is the all-in-one platform that started out as a booking support platform to combat this problem but over time has grown to much more.
TrekkSoft has developed products like TrekkSoft Group (TrekkSoft collective), TrekkPay, and TrekkConnect, making it now possible for Tourism businesses to gain support to sell, manage, and grow their businesses. It has acquired several other companies to continue its pursuit to better the tourism management industry, most recently Giant Monkey, a Berlin-based producer of visitor management solutions.
TrekkSoft is now used by tour & activity operators in 138 countries around the world, and it’s expected that the company will continue on the upward trajectory it’s been pacing up since its early years. With entrepreneurial founders and a clear passion for what they do we aren’t expecting much less.
