ATCORE invests in TigerBay

Investment reinforces growth strategy and increases breadth of ATCORE offering

ATCORE, the provider of high performance reservation and e-commerce platforms to the leaders in leisure travel, today announces that it has completed the acquisition of TigerBay Software Ltd.

TigerBay provides dynamic and flexible tour operating platforms that deliver end-to-end systems or integration into existing websites.

ATCORE is committed to supporting continued expansion and as such believes that TigerBay is the best next-generation platform for small and mid-size tour operators and specialists. Since its launch in 2008 TigerBay has been growing very quickly by successfully winning 4-6 high profile customers each year such as Mark Warner, Wendy Wu and Sunvil. 

The acquisition strengthens the ATCORE Travel Suite, increasing the breadth of its products and services whilst enabling expansion into specialist market sectors.

Carl Morgan and the rest of TigerBay’s existing management team will continue to lead the TigerBay business from Cardiff.

Commenting on the acquisition, Dave Cruickshank, ATCORE Chief Commercial Officer, said:

"We are delighted to welcome TigerBay onboard and believe the acquisition is great news for both ATCORE and TigerBay customers and employees. Over the last few years we have admired the fantastic progress Carl and his team have made.  It makes great sense that we join forces as TigerBay offers the best product in the market for specialist travel companies and smaller tour operators, whilst our own product ATCOM is the market leading platform for larger Tour Operators.

We look forward to supporting Carl and the team in continuing to deliver the innovative and responsive relationships that they are known for.”

Carl Morgan, TigerBay Managing Director, added:

“Partnering with ATCORE gives us the best of both worlds, providing big company support for expansion whilst maintaining the ability to be nimble and reactive to our customers’ needs.”
