Our history dates back to 1995, when TIK Systems was registered as a legal entity with private investors and Swissair. Our focus was, and still is, on the development of airline and travel solutions.
In 1996, we developed the world’s first mobile sales on board solution, based on one of the first handheld computers. Between 2001 and 2010 we developed and supported the ticketing and agency system for the Swiss Federal Railways. At the end 2003 we helped NOKAIR (Thailand’s low-cost airline) with the implementation of their airline reservation system and established sales channels for banking and convenient store businesses in Thailand.
In 2004 we started development of “tikAERO”, our own airline reservation and ticketing system, PSS. In 2005 we signed our first international carriers in Canada and Myanmar. By 2006 we implemented tikAERO for our first European Airline on the Channel Islands, followed by more deals in many other countries.
In 2009 we entered into a Sales Partnership with Mercator, a Emirates Group subsidiary. A year later Mercator acquired the tikAERO business.
During 2015 we started to help IATA with new industry eCommerce standards. in 2017 we launched our first new cloud-architected modules: “oops.ticketing” and “oops.gateway“.
Currently we have 22 staff at 4 locations; Zug (Switzerland), Belgrade (Serbia), Bangkok (Thailand) and Chiangmai (Thailand).
During the last few months, we have all been busy with our neutral shopping enhancement based on IATA’s NDC – and named it NDCplus. It is used by our partner company Mobipax for sales-on-board merchandizing, in conjunction with our open retailing platform.
