In 2022/2023, several providers matched the contract for the implementation of a destination management system for a total of five regions. feratel was convincing and has been commissioned to implement it.
Order volume in the 7-digit euro range

With this we are once once more underscoring our technological leadership,” says a pleased CEO Markus Schröcksnadel regarding the order and puts the order volume in the seven-digit euro range.
