What DPS Software Sp. Z oo does

DPS Software Sp. Z o.o. is a Warsaw-based, privately held Polish company founded in 1997 that operates as the first and largest authorized distributor of Dassault Systèmes' SOLIDWORKS, 3DEXPERIENCE, and CATIA software in Poland. Its portfolio spans the full product lifecycle engineering stack — 3D CAD (SOLIDWORKS Standard/Professional/Premium and the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform with dedicated design, simulation, manufacturing, and collaboration roles), simulation (SOLIDWORKS Simulation/Flow Simulation/Plastics, 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA, ABAQUS, CST Studio Suite, XFLOW), product data and lifecycle management (SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard/Professional, SOLIDWORKS Manage, EXALEAD OnePart), and CAM/manufacturing (SolidCAM, ALPHACAM, RoboDK, SURFCAM, SWOOD CAM, and the CIMCO suite) — supplemented by its own proprietary products including 3DeCon (3D product configurator), PMDesk (project management), and ERP+ (a bridge between 3DEXPERIENCE and third-party ERP systems). The company extends beyond traditional mechanical CAD into adjacent verticals such as furniture (SWOOD), plastics injection, electromagnetic simulation, sustainability assessment, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (CATIA Magic).

The business operates from a headquarters in Warsaw and a network of six regional offices and training centers across Poland. It generates revenue through a blend of one-time perpetual software licenses (with optional maintenance), recurring subscriptions (€1,380-€2,468 per SOLIDWORKS subscription annually), tiered technical support (including Platinum-level support, the only such status in Poland, with sub-1-minute response time), certified training services, and IT/hardware reselling (HP workstations, 3D scanners, 3DConnexion devices). It serves vertically diversified customers — primarily manufacturing and machinery, plus metalworking/tooling, furniture, electrical and energy, plastics, agricultural machinery, automotive/transport, construction/installation, aerospace/defense, education, and startups — across over 2,700 client relationships and 40,000 lifetime commercial and educational licenses. The proprietary sister company DPS Systems provides ERP integration, enabling a differentiated CAD/PDM/ERP unified offering.

The go-to-market is multi-channel: enterprise field sales, inside sales via phone and email, an e-commerce storefront for hardware, an online product advisor, and a strong educational outreach program featuring the annual Studencki Konkurs Projektowy SOLIDWORKS Student Design Competition (entering its 25th edition in 2026) and DPS Forum (the largest SOLIDWORKS conference in Poland). The company is ISO 9001 certified (since 2019) and recognized with Diamenty Forbesa and Gazele Biznesu awards; it bundles recurring software with high-touch support and training as its principal differentiator against other Dassault Systèmes channel partners in Central Europe.
