Stormware

What Stormware does

STORMWARE s.r.o. is a privately held Czech software company founded circa 1996 and headquartered in Jihlava, with a stated 30-year track record in developing accounting and ERP software for the domestic market. Its core product is the POHODA economic and information system, available in three tiers — a base file-server version built on Microsoft Access, a SQL edition on Microsoft SQL Server, and an enterprise E1 tier with customizations and granular access rights — covering bookkeeping, tax records, invoicing (with ISDOC electronic document support), inventory, fixed assets, payroll, and reporting. The product line is complemented by PAMICA (HR and payroll), TAX (tax returns), GLX (vehicle logbook), REPORT Designer/Viewer (print-template tooling), Business Intelligence add-on, and mPohoda and mKasa mobile applications that sync to the desktop data model.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time perpetual software licenses priced in Czech koruna (e.g., POHODA Komplet 2026 1-PC at 19,980 Kč, NET3 at 29,970 Kč, SQL equivalents at 27,980 Kč / 41,970 Kč), with an annual SERVIS support subscription — included free the first year, then renewal-priced — bundling telephone/email support, regulatory updates, and the electronic newsletter. Professional training (in-person, online via Microsoft Teams, and individual sessions), mobile-app subscriptions, and add-on modules supplement the recurring stream. Go-to-market combines a direct e-shop, six regional branches (Jihlava plus Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Hradec Králové, Olomouc) for sales, support, and certified training, and a tiered reseller/partner network with a 50% discount channel for accounting firms and tax advisors who then onboard their SMB clients. Free POHODA Start (over 558,000 downloads) serves as a top-of-funnel product-led growth lever.

The company is single-country focused (Czech Republic only), serves primarily Czech SMBs and outsourced accounting/tax-advisory practices, has 101–250 employees, and reports no disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A activity. Operations are exclusively domestic: no public or partner-facing developer API is offered, with the only documented external integration being a native Google Gmail API connector for invoice import.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• FlexiBee (ABRA FlexiBee): Cloud-based Czech/Slovak accounting and invoicing software by ABRA, targeting SMBs with online-first delivery. Competes directly with POHODA's on-premises tiers on cloud vs. desktop positioning.
• Money ERP (Money S3/S4/S5): Czech on-premises accounting and ERP software for SMBs and accountants, marketed by Seyfor (formerly Solitea). Closest direct competitor to POHODA in the Czech market, serving the same SMB and accounting-firm customer base with comparable product tiers.
• ABRA Software: Czech-developed ERP and accounting suite (ABRA Gen, ABRA FlexiBee, ABRA Mom) used by SMBs in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Direct competitor to POHODA's modular accounting/ERP offering with both on-premises and cloud variants.
• JEZDÍT (Seyfor/Jet): Czech accounting software historically aligned with Seyfor/Solitea portfolio. Overlaps with POHODA's SMB and accountant segments in Czech market.
• Money S5 by Seyfor: Seyfor's flagship Czech on-premises accounting system used by SMBs and accounting firms. Direct competitor within the same Czech SME/accountant segment.

Broad incumbents

• Sage (Sage 50 / Sage Business Cloud): Global SMB-focused accounting and ERP vendor with broad product portfolio. Sage targets similar SMB and accountant customers worldwide and competes indirectly with POHODA through partner networks in Czech-adjacent geographies.
• QuickBooks (Intuit): Global cloud accounting software for SMBs and accountants. Comparable product surface area (bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll via ecosystem) and target customer segment, though lacks Czech-specific compliance depth.
• Xero: Cloud-based accounting platform for SMBs and accountants globally. Comparable GTM (accountant channel) and feature set with POHODA, but cloud-native vs. on-premises architecture distinction.

Regional players

• TRIXIE / Elanor (Czech payroll): Czech regional accounting and payroll software providers comparable to PAMICA's HR/payroll scope. Address overlapping customer segment (accounting firms, SMBs) in Czech/Slovak markets.
• DUNA / Účto (Slovak/Czech): Slovak/Czech accounting and bookkeeping software for SMBs and accountants. Comparable SMB/accountant target and Central-European localization, with adjacent geographic reach into Slovakia.
