What Soft-logic does
Soft-logic is a Russian-headquartered, independent software vendor founded in 2008 by Alexander Vorobyev, specializing in payment-processing and self-service kiosk software for banks, telecom operators, payment systems and commercial enterprises. The company operates through two Russian legal entities: OOO Soft-Logic (Barnaul, primary operating entity) and OOO Soft-Logic Management (Barnaul, client support and customization). Its core offering is the Pay-logic ecosystem, comprising the Processing Center Pay-logic (payment platform supporting 10,000+ points and 1M+ daily payments), Payment Hub Pay-logic (payment router with fraud monitoring and gateway integrations), and SmartKeeper (e-wallet system supporting up to 5 million users). The Smartix sub-brand extends the platform into parcel lockers, electronic queue management, and vertical-specific kiosks for fitness, fast food, retail, parking, utilities and ticketing.
The underlying technology is a Java/PostgreSQL stack on open-source middleware (Linux, Apache, GlassFish, Wildfly, Tomcat, Spring/Hibernate/JPA), with REST/JSON and XML for data exchange, Apache/Nginx for load balancing, and ActiveMQ/RabbitMQ/Kafka for messaging. The company publishes a documented Pay-logic Kiosk API and maintains integrations with regional payment gateways (CyberPlat, QIWI, WebMoney, LiqPay, Yandex Money), major telecom service providers (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2, Rostelecom), card processors (Sberbank POS), POS terminal hardware vendors (ARCUS, INPAS), restaurant and fitness automation suites (iiko, r_keeper, Quick Resto, 1C:Fitness), and Russian state information systems (GIS GMP, GIS ZhKKh, FMS, PFR). Processing Center Pay-logic is included in the Russian national software registry (#2223 from 08.11.2016), and the company holds a State Registration Certificate for the program. Deployments span 20+ countries across Russia, CIS, Europe (UKR, ROU), Central Asia (AZE, BLR, KGZ), the Middle East (ARE), Southeast Asia (PHL), and the Americas (USA, MEX), with 50,000+ managed devices and 3.5M+ daily operations.
Go-to-market is enterprise field-sales-led, selling both ready-made products and fully customized implementations to large banks (MTS Bank, Russian Standard Bank, SMP Bank, Expressbank, Credit Dnipro Bank, Finca Bank, StavropolPromStroyBank) and telecom operators (Kyivstar, MTS Belarus, Beeline Kyrgyzstan). Revenue is generated through (i) one-time/perpetual software licenses for Processing Center, Payment Hub, SmartKeeper and Pay-logic Kiosk (starting at 1M-1.5M RUB with optional 15% annual support); (ii) cloud/SaaS subscription for Pay-point cloud processing and SmartKeeper Cloud (from 50K RUB/month); (iii) professional services for implementation, customization, equipment selection and consulting billed by man-hours/man-days; and (iv) annual support and maintenance at 15% of license cost. Direct enterprise sales is supplemented by partner channels with hardware OEMs, system integrators and certification programs.
