Our Story
As a subsidiary of the IT consultancy company Goldnet AB, Recon Chain AB has managed critical intellectual property, including brand rights such as Y-CASH™, domains, source code, and specialized financial tools.
From 2003 to 2013, we developed xTrend BI, an automated pricing, forecasting, and yield management tool used by major brands like Lastminute, Resfeber, and Holiday Autos. Collectively, these brands achieved a turnover of $100M in the Nordic travel broker industry, handling 10-20,000 transactions daily dealing with all the Nordic travel agencies.
Later, we expanded to a unified interface for multiple payment providers, simplifying transactions across various customer applications. We also began developing a voucher settlement system for social welfare programs and malls, which was paused in 2020 due to the impact of the pandemic.
Now, with a receptive market, we are leveraging our extensive experience to build advanced AI tools, focusing on accounting and financial reconciliation.
