What Assist Software does

ASSIST Software SRL is a Romanian custom software development and AI engineering company founded in 1992 in Suceava by two nuclear physics engineers, Gheorghe David and Daniel Tănase, and operating today with 380-400+ full-time engineers, of whom 85% hold technical certifications. The firm delivers AI/ML and data engineering, software development, digital product strategy, and cloud and backend engineering services to enterprise and mid-market clients across healthcare, fintech, cybersecurity, manufacturing, consumer goods, and other verticals, with named customers including Drager, Wella, BAT, Trimble, StatSports, and Telio. Revenue is generated through three engagement models (Dedicated Teams on multi-year contracts, Team Augmentation on pay-as-you-go, and Fixed-Price outcome-based projects), supported by an enterprise field sales motion, inside sales for mid-market, and channel partnerships including a Bayern Innovative Premium Partner slot in the German Mechatronics and Automation Cluster.

Technically, ASSIST combines conventional software engineering with a broad applied AI stack spanning NLP, predictive analytics, autonomous multi-agent systems, anomaly detection, generative AI, computer vision, and knowledge retrieval, with named proprietary platforms including SecureFlow (a CI/CD orchestration framework for AI security assurance used in the SECASSURED Horizon Europe consortium) and the LLM4CIP platform for LLM-integrated critical-infrastructure cybersecurity. The company maintains a portfolio of consumer products (Autisma therapy assistant, mobile games, Unity assets) and participates in 25+ EU-funded R&D projects across Horizon Europe, Digital Europe Programme, and Erasmus+, giving it privileged access to European research deal flow. ASSIST has expanded internationally via the 2025 establishment of wholly-owned ASSIST Software GmbH in Augsburg, Germany, and pursues defence and critical-infrastructure opportunities backed by ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, NATO AQAP 2110:2016, and major cloud partner certifications (Microsoft Solutions Partner, Google Cloud Partner).

The business is privately held by its founders with no external equity funding, reports 93% returning client rate and 500+ delivered projects across 310+ clients since inception, and operates sub-brands ASSIST Academy (education and training) and ASSIST Humanitarian Foundation (community investment).
