Elma365

What Elma365 does

ELMA365 (legal entity OOO ELMA) is a Moscow-headquartered, privately held Russian software company founded in 2009 that builds a Low-code business process management (BPM) platform and a surrounding ecosystem of integrated enterprise applications. The core ELMA365 platform uses BPMN 2.0 process modeling, a multi-tenant microservice architecture (branded ELMA365 Hub) and an open API to enable business analysts and citizen developers to build process-driven applications without traditional programming. Around this core sit modular products for CRM, customer experience (CX), content and document management (CSP / EDMS), HR document management (КЭДО), enterprise service management (ESM), procurement, project management, and an industry-specific fintech stack for banks. Native AI capabilities are delivered through ELMA Cortex (an AI agent platform with multi-agent orchestration and on-premises LLM support) and ELMA Bot (a low-code chatbot constructor), with computer-vision document recognition delivered inside the CSP module.

The company monetizes primarily through per-seat SaaS subscriptions (ELMA365 Cloud) and on-premises enterprise licenses, supplemented by professional services revenue routed through a 250+ certified partner network (Masterdata, BPM-Expert, Navicon, Onellect) and marketplace commissions from the ELMA365 Store, which hosts 100+ extensions including 1C, R7-Office, КриптоПРО CSP, МЧД, and Spark. Free 14-day SaaS trials support self-service evaluation by mid-market buyers, while enterprise sales is handled by a direct field team targeting large Russian and CIS organizations. Headcount is reported at 101–250 and the customer base is stated at over 4,000 organizations concentrated in Russia and CIS, with marquee logos including Sberbank, Kaspersky Lab, Techonikol, AstraZeneca, Air Astana, Glenmark, Rusagro, Lenta, Chestny Znak (national digital labeling system), and YANAO.

ELMA365 operates in the import-substitution structural tailwind created by the exit of Western enterprise software vendors (SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle) from the Russian market. The product is included in the Russian Software Registry as a fully domestic development, and the company holds multiple #1 analyst rankings: most-deployed BPM system in CIS (TAdviser), #1 CSP in CNews СЭД 2024, #1 CRM by implementation count in TAdviser, and Market Leader in the FeaturedCustomers Winter 2026 RPA Customer Success Report. Recognized displacement wins — Kaspersky migrating from SAP Ariba, Svyaz replacing Microsoft Dynamics for over 1 million consumers, Glenmark replacing Salesforce in 2.5 months, and Sveza replacing SAP Cloud for Customer — substantiate the platform's credibility as an enterprise-grade Western replacement. Multiple industry-specific AI-powered process automations (e.g., Rusagro: 10-hour processes collapsed to 15 minutes; Fast Bank: 48+ hour loan acceleration; BPM Expert AI: 60% cost reduction) support the case-study-driven sales motion.
