Company profile
researched Aug 2026Muse Software provides a single, integrated operations management platform purpose-built for museums, zoos, aquariums and other nonprofit cultural attractions. The platform combines general admission and timed-entry ticketing, CRM, fundraising, merchandise and café point-of-sale, front desk operations, integrated payments, and management of events, camps and workshops, positioning itself as a replacement for the fragmented legacy systems many institutions run.
The product emphasizes automation of manual back-office work, including generating donor acknowledgement letters, identifying prospective donors, managing waitlists, and reconciling financial data with integrated accounting systems. Across these modules the company builds a consolidated data layer covering visitor behavior, operational performance and donor trends, which it uses as the basis for analytics and further automation intended to support decisions on admissions, memberships, donations, events and retail. Delivery is supported by an in-house Client Delivery team that implements and configures the platform for each institution.
Founding story
The company was founded by Travis Fuller, who serves as CEO, to bring modern technology and data-driven intelligence to museums, a sector he describes as long underserved by technology.
Business model
