Attraction management software

Merlin AMS — the integrated platform for visitor attractions and venues.

Merlin AMS connects every part of your attraction — ticketing, admissions, retail, catering, memberships, access control and reporting — through one integrated management system. Developed and supported by ClicTic Ltd.

What is Merlin AMS?

Merlin AMS is an attraction management system developed by ClicTic Ltd. It provides visitor attractions, museums, heritage sites and multi-activity venues with an integrated platform covering ticketing, admissions, retail, catering, memberships, Gift Aid administration, access control and management reporting. Unlike separate specialist tools, Merlin AMS connects all activity streams so that operators have a single, complete view of their operation.

What Merlin AMS covers

Each module works independently or as part of the fully connected platform.

Why connected matters for attractions

Running a visitor attraction means managing multiple revenue streams — admissions, retail, catering, memberships and events — often across separate systems that do not talk to each other. Reconciling them at the end of the day takes time, creates errors and prevents you seeing the complete commercial picture.

Merlin AMS connects these streams so that every sale, every admission and every transaction is captured in one place. Your reporting is real-time, your stock is accurate and your Gift Aid declarations are handled automatically.

And because it is built by ClicTic — a company that believes your data should remain yours — you retain full access to, and portability of, the business data your operation generates.
