We are continuously extending the system features and service provider integrations choosing by our partners demand. From January 2020 all of our partners can choose PayU as a hosted card payment provider besides the already existing ones, namely Adyen and Six Payment Services.
PayU offers a number of different instant payment options that can be used in the online store of merchants who have joined the system and the list of service providers is constantly expanding. Use of PayU is completely secure, as the data related to the transaction is transmitted via an SSL encrypted channel, and PayU uses active fraud monitoring: it investigates each transaction individually. Using multiple security filters, they check the data and detect suspicious events. The service is also Thawte and PCI-DSS certified. The former is a module certifying the security of communication; the latter is a security standard used by card companies that imposes certain operational and IT requirements on the systems that use it.
Preparation for Small and Mid-size Travel Agents
During the pandemic DEEP has been prepared to serve small and mid-sized tour operators and travel agents with a completely new cloud-based, shared resource based solution, that can reduce the system operating costs more than 60% and makes possible for travel agents and tour operators to work together more seamlessly in the e-commerce business.
Now tour operators who signed up for DEEP Travel Reservation System can share their account with re-sellers to provide them opportunity for online real-time travel reservations using their contracted services providers, IATA license and GDS agreement.
We believe that after the pandemic the need for travel will be even higher than before, and customers want to use online platforms to organize their entire travel more likely.
Charter Management System - Introducing a new platform with direct integration to a reservation and distribution system to execute mass action to any existing bookings, like adding ancillary products or check-in/check-out options.

DGITAL implemented a new and independent online tax filing service for a Big Four accounting firm. It is available for hundreds of thousands of non EU customers selling on Amazon Marketplace.
The development was made with cloud-native technologies and architecture in the way that it also can run on-premise infrastructure when needed, still using the benefits of the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline. With our platform, clients can give all the information relevant in the chosen countries within minutes, even if they have to file their tax return in seven different countries. Part of the development process was the creation and automatization of an authentication system where invited customers can register. The platform is mobile optimized and fully responsive, therefore the data required for tax filing can be provided anytime and anywhere. All this and more in 6 languages, including Chinese.
DGITAL’s project with JetSMART and Banco Estado continued. Banco Estado (est. 1855) is the State Bank of Chile and one of the most financially solid banks in Latin America (via Global Finance 2020.
During the new development phase we extended the existing integration and functionality with the biggest Chilean bank that now allows Banco Estado customers to directly register on jetsmart.com with their bank account. The website is maintaining their special benefit program dynamically with different levels, based on their actual credit card category, including special loyalty point collection and redemption possibilities.
Implemented Into DEEP with the Latest Technology
The solution provides not only the highest security features but also a seamless user experience that is used at more and more customer focused companies like Google or Facebook. With the token-based authentication method it is possible that users can stay logged in on their selected devices and when they return to book their next travel from the same device, they don’t have to hassle with the password again when logging in, as the browser will remember the user and log them in automatically in the background in the most secure way it is possible. User data has end-to-end encryption to absolutely secure the personal data.
The solution is fully GDPR and PCI DSS compliant.
In the last 5 years DGITAL has found its place in the international travel technology business by constantly growing and evolving. E-commerce being our main area of expertise, we wanted dgital.com to be simple, where visitors can easily understand our range of activities. We have found that our innovative and high end developments deserve a website that is easy-to-understand, informative and not least follows the latest technologies.
As a result, we created dedicated pages for our products and services as well as a dedicated page with our recommended solutions to the different industries we work with. The new website is fully mobile optimized with enhanced navigation and supports multiple languages by design.
From the technology point of view, our first website was built with using a Static Site Generator (SSG). We chose Hexo, because it used Javascript and it served us well until 2018, when the next generation Static Site Generators arrived. Jamstack and server side rendering technologies became the new trend and we evaluated them - such as Next-js, Jekyll, Nuxt.js and Gatsby - to get a clear picture. Next.js and Gatsby fit well in our portfolio as it is backed by React. We chose Gatsby, because we think, in 2020 it is the best choice for a corporate site. Gatsby has been designed especially for static sites such as corporate websites or blogs and they are a pioneer in server side rendering, which makes the website not just incredibly fast for the first load, but also provides a unbelievable seamless experience while clicking and navigating on the site thanks to Jamstack principle of pre-rendering all accessible pages in the background.
We still use .NET Core based backend for our e-commerce projects and our frontend is built on Typescript, React hooks and Web Components.
