Traffics

What Traffics does

Traffics (legal entity: traffics Softwaresysteme für den Tourismus GmbH) is a Berlin-based B2B travel technology company founded in 1999 that has operated its own full Computer Reservation System (CRS) since 2004. The company provides a modular CRS platform that aggregates supply sources, booking logic, and front-end distribution into a unified system landscape, serving four primary verticals: travel agencies, travel portals/OTAs, tour operators, and tourism service providers (hotels, airlines, cruise, car rental). Its product portfolio comprises CosmoNaut (comparison, consultation and booking system for travel agencies), Evo NEXT (Internet Booking Engine), Travcom24 CMS (tourism-specific content management), Universal Connector (central API handling 500+ billion offer records at 1,500 requests/second), Supplier Interface (160+ service providers, 40 flight providers, 45 tour operators), TravelPack 2.0 (dynamic packaging with 200 integrations and 400ms response time), and HeliView (innovative booking visualization). The platform supports over 6,000 travel agencies and processes approximately €1.3 billion in annual travel service transactions, with PCI DSS-certified infrastructure delivering 99.5% monthly availability.

Traffics operates a SaaS and hosted software licensing revenue model, supplemented by usage-based fees and professional services, with contracts running indefinitely subject to 6-month termination notice and quarterly advance payment cycles. Pricing is non-public and adjusted annually under master license agreements with an 8-week notice clause. GTM is sales-led, combining enterprise field sales (Sales Managers engaging decision-makers via phone/video), CRM-driven pipeline management, and conference/trade fair presence, supplemented by content marketing (website in German and English), industry association membership (DRV, VIR, German Startups Association), and newsletter demand-generation.

Since 2023, Traffics has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Travelsoft Group, an international travel technology conglomerate comprising 12 specialized companies (airQuest, Atcore, .BOSYS, Eventiz, Orchestra, Tigerbay, Travel Compositor, Travel Connection Technology, Travelgate, Travelsoft Pay, Travelsoft Services) operating across 90 countries with over 700 experts and more than €50 billion in annual transaction value processed. This parent structure provides Traffics with cross-border distribution reach, shared infrastructure, and corporate support, while the company maintains independent operations, its own management team (CEO Marc Herrgott, CTO Alexandru Elisei, CFO Leander Kouparanis as of June 2026), and its Berlin headquarters at Mollstraße 32.
