ATCORE Technology

What ATCORE Technology does

ATCORE Technology Ltd is a UK-headquartered (Slough) private software company that builds and operates ATCOM, a high-performance reservation and distribution platform purpose-built for the leisure travel industry. Founded in 1987, the company serves tour operators, retail travel agencies, and online travel players — with publicly disclosed customers including TUI, easyJet holidays, DER Touristik, Sunwing, Center Parcs, Neilson, and First Choice — and its platform is reported to power $15–18 billion in annual holiday bookings across more than 120 million room nights in the UK and Europe, with a North American beachhead established via Sunwing in December 2019.

The product architecture is platform-plus-modules: ATCOM (the core reservation and distribution engine, including a hybrid dynamic packaging solution) is complemented by Accordion (travel-vertical software testing services) and Infrastructure Services (24/7/365 managed hosting on dual UK data centres with disaster recovery, Oracle Data Guard, and SAN-SAN replication). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to large operators, with flexible deployment — SaaS hosted, SaaS dedicated, or customer-owned/managed infrastructure — sold primarily on a recurring subscription model. Customer claims include a 40% margin uplift for easyJet holidays following implementation of ATCOM's hybrid dynamic packaging.

In May 2024, ATCORE was acquired by Paris-based Travelsoft, a SaaS group that processes more than €50 billion in annual transaction value across 90 countries and operates ten specialised travel platforms including airQuest, Orchestra, Tigerbay, Travel Compositor, Travelgate, and Travelsoft Pay. The company now operates as a subsidiary within that group, with Mike Wright (an ATCORE veteran since 2001) promoted to CEO in September 2024 to lead the next phase.
