With over 20 years of experience, Contal stands out in the accounting management market for its ongoing pursuit of innovation and security. Founded by Carlos Lud and his partners, the company has always prioritized data protection and process efficiency.
The Challenge: LGPD Compliance and the Need for Centralization
With the enforcement of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD), Contal intensified its search for a robust solution that would ensure the security, traceability, and full control of its clients’ data. Carlos Lud, founder of Contal, explains:
“Since the early days of the LGPD, we’ve been very concerned about data security. We needed an online system that would allow us to access files from anywhere, even from our clients’ offices.”
Contal’s Challenge: Security and Centralized Operations
Beyond security, Contal faced the challenge of centralizing its operations on a single platform to optimize productivity and facilitate collaboration between employees and clients.
