Technology is in our blood

Elevating Industry Standards to Meet Real-World Needs

From humble beginnings in the travel industry, Contal has expanded into a multi-faceted organisation with a strong passion for innovation and technology. We develop and use in-house software across all of our projects, because that’s what we are all about. We’re dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology, ensuring our clients stay ahead in an ever-changing digital landscape.

Take a closer look at some of our recent and current projects.

Hospitality Software

We’ve developed sophisticated hospitality software that seamlessly integrates with both our business management systems and point of sale (POS) platform. To meet demands of dynamic hospitality environment, our software provides real-time access to key metrics and performance indicators, tracking of sales trends, staff scheduling, inventory management and more.

Travel Software

Contal pioneered the first website that offered its customers a single-screen comparison of domestic Australian airfares, accommodation, rental cars and a wide variety of vacation activities. We wanted to avert the large corporation industry takeover that threatened to push aside smaller, more personalised, independent travel agencies, and, 40 years later, we can say that we succeeded – Contal’s technology resulted in the competitive travel industry you see today.

Our point of sale (POS) software is quick to set up, easy to use, and facilitates secure EFTPOS payments, acting as an electronic cash register on iPad or iPhone. Our POS software features simple drag-and-drop tools to personalise button layouts, options to group products across different screens, and customisable colour-coding for accessibility and ease of use. It recognises payments from cards, digital wallets and cash as well as facilitates refunds and credit transfers.

Travel

We took the world by storm in the 90s and kept up the pace with the development of innovative software that facilitated quick and easy access to billions of flights from anywhere, to anywhere, via anywhere.

To take this software to the world, we teamed up with the most trusted names in travel and technology — Amadeus and IBM— to usher in a new era in travel.

We have continued to develop creative software solutions for cost-effective travel distribution, which can be seen in our business travel app, iSpeedy.

Our software offers customised smartphone travel applications to fully integrate product management and inventory systems, allowing organisations to fully leverage the low-cost distribution model of the internet. It facilitates business travel by linking with employees, allowing travel requests and approvals, as well as linking with social networks.
