HISTORY
ZIEL products are developed "by users for users" and are characterised by a high user friendliness. The advantages of this real life proximity are a result of the company's history. ZIEL GmbH develops software products since 1984. They are tailor-made explicitly to meet the needs of the customers in travel agencies according to the motto "specialization instead of compromise".This objective is supported by the experience of the managing director Gerd Laatz, who, as owner of 2 travel agencies, knows both the demands of travel agencies for backoffice software as well as the special framework in the tourism branch.
