FIRST INFORMATION SYSTEMS

What FIRST INFORMATION SYSTEMS does

First information systems, s.r.o. (First IS) is a privately held IT company founded in 1993 in the Czech Republic and expanded to the Slovak Republic in 1995, with headquarters in Ostrava (Kalvodova 2) and a regional office in Žilina (Andreja Kmeťa 316/16). The company specializes in developing and implementing construction-management and economic software for medium and large enterprises, positioning itself as the largest provider of specialized construction project management systems in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Its product portfolio combines proprietary software with third-party ERP: core proprietary products include RSV (Construction Production Management, covering contract acquisition through project completion with cost control, DMS, subcontractor management, and MS Project integration), Buildary.online (cloud-based electronic construction project diary with electronic signatures and mobile access), WorkFlow+ / WFplus.online (multi-level document approval workflows with Android/iOS apps), and WebPortal (data-access extension over RSV and HELIOS). These are deployed alongside Asseco Solutions' HELIOS iNuvio ERP, which First IS resells, implements, and extends as the only GOLD partner in both Czech Republic and Slovakia among approximately 60 partners. Complementary add-on modules cover rental, workshop/service, attendance, and web dispatching.

The business model is a hybrid of proprietary software licensing (RSV, Buildary.online, WorkFlow+, WebPortal), HELIOS iNuvio resale and implementation as GOLD partner, and professional services covering consulting, process analysis, solution design, implementation, training, data migration, supervision, and outsourcing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by channel partnerships with KROS (cost calculation, since 1998), ÚRS, HI Software (Webdispečink GPS, since 2009), BI Experts, Commander, Raynet CRM, Fidoo, and AVAplace. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to contact the firm directly. Customer base is concentrated in construction (Skanska, Metrostav, STRABAG, HOCHTIEF CZ, PORR), with secondary exposure to transport/logistics (SCM Logistics, Santa-Trans, MAYER TRANSPORT), manufacturing (Heinz Food, SUNGWOO HITECH), energy distribution (ČEZ Distribuce, EG.D), and rail infrastructure (Správa železnic). The company holds ISO 9001:2008 certification (since 2005) and operates with 40+ staff including developers, construction engineers, economists, and sales managers.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• RIB Software (Schneider Electric): RIB Software, now part of Schneider Electric, is a leading construction ERP and project management software provider headquartered in Germany. It is the closest direct peer to First IS's RSV product in the European construction-vertical ERP market, competing for similar contractors in DACH/CEE with comparable job-costing and project-control functionality.

Regional players

• 4PS Group: 4PS Group is a Netherlands-based Microsoft Dynamics partner specializing in construction ERP for European contractors. It is a regional peer in the construction-vertical ERP space, primarily serving Benelux/UK but with a comparable niche-specialist partner model and target customer profile to First IS.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Inc. Trimble provides a broad portfolio of construction technology solutions including project management, estimating, and field data. It is a global incumbent increasingly targeting European construction firms with connected, end-to-end workflows comparable to First IS's integrated ERP + construction production + diary stack.
• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek is a Munich-based provider of software for the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry, with brands like Nevaris and Bluebeam. It is the largest European AEC-software group and a broad incumbent competing for the same European construction-software wallet as First IS.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is the leading global cloud construction project management SaaS platform serving general contractors and owners. While US-headquartered and not directly competing in CZ/SK today, it represents the modern cloud-native category competing for the same contractor software budgets that First IS addresses with RSV and Buildary.online.
• Sage Group: Sage offers ERP and construction-specific solutions (Sage 300 CRE / Sage Intacct Construction) targeting small and mid-market construction firms globally. As a broader ERP incumbent, Sage competes for the same ERP and project management budgets in European construction markets as First IS's HELIOS + RSV stack.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems provides infrastructure engineering and construction project software globally, including SYNCHRO for 4D construction modeling. It is a broad incumbent in the infrastructure/construction software space, serving some of the same government-infrastructure and large-contractor accounts as First IS (e.g., rail, energy distribution).
• Microsoft (Dynamics 365): Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Business Central are broad ERP platforms increasingly localized for construction and project-based industries in Europe. As a global incumbent, Dynamics competes with HELIOS iNuvio in the enterprise ERP layer that First IS resells and customizes.

Others

• Asseco Solutions: Asseco Solutions is the owner of HELIOS iNuvio and HELIOS Orange ERP systems — the core platform First IS resells, implements, and customizes as a GOLD partner. It is the most directly intertwined ecosystem participant: vendor relationship today, but a potential channel or acquisition counterparty going forward.
• KROS a.s. KROS is the largest cost-calculation software producer in Czech Republic and Slovakia and a long-standing technology partner of First IS since 1998 for integrated RSV + KROS 4 workflows. It is an ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but its complementary product is often sold alongside First IS's RSV in the same construction accounts.
