Thriva Acquires GeckoTech Systems
Combined features to offer the premium zoo, museum, and aquarium registration and management software
BOTHELL, WA – May 19, 2006 – This week, Thriva acquired GeckoTech Systems, a leading provider of zoo registration and management software. GeckoTech’s features will be built into Thriva’s existing product to create the premium registration and database management tool for zoos, museums, and aquariums.
“We have developed a great solution incorporating GeckoTech’s vast zoo experience and knowledge of zoo’s needs into Thriva’s flexible online registration and management software,” explains GeckoTech CEO Willy Hoos. “Our goal of combining these two great products is to provide the zoo industry with the best possible technology solution.”
“Both GeckoTech and Thriva have had great success in the zoo industry,” says Matt Ehrlichman, co-founder of Thriva. “Both companies have previously worked with some of the largest, best, and most recognized zoos in the country. By combining the best features of both technologies, the zoo community will be better served with one clear solution for registration and management software.”
Some GeckoTech and Thriva clients include Zoo Atlanta, the Bronx Zoo, the San Antonio Zoological Gardens & Aquarium, the Smithsonian National Zoo, and Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo which is ranked as the best zoo for children. The Georgia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in the country, is also a client.
These and other zoos use GeckoTech’s and Thriva’s features for a wide range of uses. The online registration tools allow zoos to accept registrations, receive donations, and book school groups online. The database tools manage the entire database of customers, donors, and members. Other features valuable to zoos include up-selling memberships during registration, selling items online, easy communication and marketing features.
