“Can SKIDATA transform from an access-hardware provider into the end-to-end digital platform powering payments, ticketing, and mobility management for venues, parking operators, and mountain destinations worldwide?”
Founded in 1977 as a ski-ticket hardware company, SKIDATA progressively expanded from mountain resorts into parking, airports, stadiums, and amusement parks — becoming a broad access-and-revenue-management platform. The company embedded payment acceptance directly into its hardware and software stack (credit card entry as early as 1989), and deepened the payments layer through a strategic partnership with Adyen for Platforms, handling multi-currency omni-channel payments across 10,000+ installations globally. The 2022 'SKIDATA Connect' repositioning formalizes the shift from ticket-hardware vendor to an all-in-one SaaS-plus-hardware platform with API-based partner integrations for payments, mobility, and ticketing.
SKIDATA processes payments through Adyen for Platforms and Adyen.
SKIDATA was founded by Günther Walcher and is founded in 1977, headquartered in Grödig, Salzburg, Austria.
