TRACE Studio

What TRACE Studio does

TRACE Studio (legal entity: ООО «Трэйс студио») is a small Russian software development studio registered in Saint Petersburg (OGRN 1127847138561) and accredited as an official IT company under registry number 6156. The company operates with 1-10 employees and was founded in 2012, with Alexander Sutiev serving as CEO and founder. Its registered address and operating language (Russian-first website with limited English localization) anchor its commercial center of gravity in the Russian market, while firmographic records also reference Yerevan, Armenia.

The company maintains a dual business model combining custom software development services with a small portfolio of proprietary products. The services line covers design, development, adaptation, modification, configuration, implementation, and support of computer software, with contract-based pricing dependent on scope, timeline, and technical requirements. The product line consists of three assets: LuminaDesk, a Windows desktop utility for multi-monitor brightness control built with Python, JavaScript, and C# and distributed via luminadesk.ru; OfficeMap, a Bitrix24 add-on that renders interactive SVG-based office maps showing real-time employee locations; and Task Report (Отчет по задачам), a Bitrix24 plugin providing tabular time-tracking reports on tasks.

Go-to-market is primarily direct and services-led: the website contact form and a single email address ([email protected]) are the main intake channel, supplemented by a VKontakte community page and an ArtStation portfolio. Software products are distributed through dedicated product websites and the official Bitrix24 marketplace. Marketing spend appears minimal, with no paid channels or inbound campaign infrastructure disclosed. The company serves two loosely defined segments — business and startup clients needing custom software, and Bitrix24-using organizations needing productivity tooling — but no named customers, revenue figures, or contract sizes are publicly disclosed.
