Tick Trading Software AG Expands into Financial Consulting Services

German financial technology company tick Trading Software AG has announced a significant expansion of its service portfolio to include consulting services for companies in the financial sector. The Dusseldorf-based firm, known for its TradeBase MX trading platform, is broadening its strategic focus beyond software development to create additional value for its customers in the rapidly evolving financial industry.

The expansion comes under new leadership, with Martin Luttich joining as CEO on October 1, 2025, following his career at HSBC Germany. Luttich emphasized that the company is building on its strong reputation in software development for securities trading and settlement. "The framework conditions in the financial industry are constantly changing and repeatedly present companies with new challenges," Luttich stated. "With its many years of industry experience, our team can deliver real added value in analyzing and overcoming these challenges."

The new consulting unit will support financial companies in addressing technological and process-related challenges, focusing on practical business analysis and project support along the entire value chain in the securities sector. The services extend beyond support for tick Trading Software AG's own products to include customized project support for third-party software integration and optimization of business processes, particularly those related to regulatory compliance.

To launch the consulting division, the company has hired two new team members with extensive experience in business analysis and complex project management. Both hold doctorates in physics and bring consulting expertise from major European banking institutions, along with deep technical understanding of securities business operations, regulatory requirements, and information technology systems.

The company's established TradeBase MX platform has been serving professional customers for more than 20 years, providing one of the world's most advanced trading platforms. The platform includes direct connections to national and international marketplaces and brokers, market making tools for designated sponsoring, proprietary hosting infrastructure, and the e-Trading Compliance Monitor for ESMA regulation compliance.

This strategic expansion represents tick Trading Software AG's effort to strengthen its market position long-term while actively shaping the financial sector through both software solutions and consulting expertise. The move comes at a time when financial institutions face increasing regulatory complexity and technological transformation pressures, creating demand for specialized consulting services that combine deep industry knowledge with technical implementation capabilities.
