Hogia Ferry Systems has delivered its reservation and ticketing system BOOKIT to Canadian ferry operator CTMA Traversier Ltée. The two companies signed a contract for the system in autumn 2020, as CTMA planned to introduce a new, larger ferry to its fleet.
“We realised that our current reservation system had reached end of life and would not have coped with the higher volumes and new offerings that we are introducing with the larger ferry,” said Sylvio Bénard, chief information officer at CTMA. “We looked for a standard reservation system on the market and, following the valuable and comforting input from fellow Canadian ferry operators, going with Hogia Ferry Systems and BOOKIT was, in the end, a rather easy decision.”
CTMA operates several routes with the three ferries in its fleet. They include a lifeline service between Prince Edward Island and the Îles de la Madeleine and a cruise route from Montreal to Îles de la Madeleine.
“The Canadian ferry industry is close to our hearts and we are a proud partner to prominent ferry operators in Canada since almost 20 years,” said Niclas Blomstrom, managing director at Hogia Ferry Systems. “It is an honour and a delight to welcome CTMA to our BOOKIT community. We are looking forward to a long and creative partnership.”
