With headquarters in Austria, Waldhart Software has built a solid reputation over 20 years, providing booking and management software to more than 300 ski schools around the world. Hannes Waldhart, Founder of Waldhart Software, will remain in his position as Managing Director of the business, joined by 23 existing employees located at their HQ in Pfaffenhofen, Tirol.
TrekkSoft Group is a collective of successful tourism vertical software companies and has its headquarters in Switzerland.
