Exon

What Exon does

EXON s.r.o. is a privately held Czech software and digitization services firm founded in 2004 by Ing. Radek Chramosta and his father, headquartered in Prague with a development center in Plzeň. The company employs more than 30 people and serves medium-to-large enterprises and public institutions across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Its offering spans three connected lines: custom software development, implementation of DMS/ECM (document/enterprise content management) systems built on the ELO ECM Suite, and deployment of professional i2S book and large-format scanners for archival and cultural-heritage digitization. Named customers include Plzeňský Prazdroj, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, ŠKODA AUTO, Banka Creditas, Krajská nemocnice Liberec, Český rozhlas, CBRE, VZP, Penny Market, and the National Library of the Czech Republic.

The technology stack centers on the ELO platform (used in 40+ countries by ~1.4 million users), extended by proprietary add-on modules for contract management, invoice processing, order management, controlled documentation, and OCR/ICR data extraction (including the DocXtractor tool). EXON integrates ELO with ERP, CRM, SAP, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, DocuSign, and accounting systems, and addresses compliance requirements such as eIDAS and GDPR. Newer development work applies machine learning to document workflows: InkCapture (2025) provides neural-network handwriting recognition, and KAITOS (2026) is an AI-assisted mass-digitization system built for the National Library. The company holds authorized partner status for both ELO Digital Office GmbH and i2S DigiBook for the Czech and Slovak markets.

The business monetizes through professional services (custom development, DMS/ECM implementation, consulting and process analysis) and hardware sales (i2S scanners), on a quote-based, project-driven model with no publicly disclosed pricing; contracts are described as multi-year. Go-to-market is enterprise field/sales-led, with business consultants managing acquisition, negotiation, and presentation to key decision-makers, supplemented by channel relationships with ELO and i2S. The company has raised no external equity, funding operations from services revenue supplemented by EU co-funded grant programs (OP PIK, OP TAK, Operační program Zaměstnanost).
