Redeam was founded in 2015 by seasoned travel and technology executives with a mission to digitize and transform the Experiences industry. We began by providing award-winning, pioneering technology that eliminated paper vouchers. Today we provide global connectivity solutions so that things to do and activity suppliers can better manage and control, in real time, the pricing, inventory, and product descriptions for the sale of their tickets through one central log-in. Our solutions also serve the demand side of our sector, providing resellers, hotels, airlines, and even the suppliers themselves with immediate inventory to sell. Redeam isn’t a ticketing system or an OTA or an attraction — we’re an unbiased, sophisticated digital connector between all three. With Redeam, all parties win…especially your customers.
