Mumbai, November 19, 2015: Ticketgoose has signed its first International associate M/s SPuTT Integrated Services, in Nigeria,marking its foray into emerging markets. M/s SPuTT Integrated Services has invested in the platform that enables SPuTT to offer wide range of bus ticketing solutions, which include online booking to its B2C customers, agent ticket booking platform, and bus operator ticketing platform.
“We faced quite a few challenges in adapting the software to suit the Nigerian circumstances and conditions. But frankly, most of the challenges were conceptual. We have built a platform that is highly adaptable and could easily be executed once the concept was clear. The recent foray that India has made at the African road show has additionally resulted in enquiries from a couple of more countries and hopefully, this will result in some additional adoption. But out immediate goal is to make the Nigerian foray a success” said Arun Athiappan, the CEO of Ticketgoose.
On this occasion, Napoleon Omomila, CEO of SPuTT Integrated Services, added “We are highly excited to associate with Ticketgoose, one of the experts in building online bus ticket booking platform. It was after considerable technical evaluation that we found Ticketgoose platform to be one of the most technologically advanced and adaptable to our requirements.”
