The world's first application was presented in autumn 2001 at the HTABE University of Applied Sciences in Bern. Pilot users were Thunersee Tourismus, the Bern Lötschberg Bahn BLS with its shipping schedule and the Schulverlag Bern. He still uses the technology as paper links for his printed school materials.
The abbreviation service developed under the name "Paperlink" was a result of the cooperation between code-it AG and HTABE.
