Cybercom develops digital hunting and fishing licenses

Cybercom has developed Sweden’s first electronic hunting and fishing licenses for the counties of Jämtland, Härjedalen, Västerbotten, and Norrbotten. Just in time for the fishing season, anglers wanting to fish in Jämtland and Härjedalen can print their fishing licenses directly from the internet.

“We see great potential in this – for us and the tourist trade,” says Robert Åström, consultant manager at Cybercom Östersund. Cybercom’s solution links a payment function to tourism websites. Previously, you had to find a specific shop to get your license. Today you can get one online. “This job was extremely exciting for us,” says Åström. “The next step is to make it possible for anglers to pay for licenses using their mobiles.” This was a major project for Cybercom Östersund, which focuses on internet and mobile services for the tourism and arts and entertainment industries. Several other new customers are in the works, so Cybercom needs to recruit mobile and web developers.
