What RTS does

RTS, a.s. is a privately held Czech software company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Brno that builds information systems, pricing databases, and related services for the Czech construction industry and public sector. Its core products are organized in two lines: (i) ERP and construction-business management systems, including INFOpower (All-in-One ERP for construction enterprises), BUILDpower S (budget-to-invoice cost control for construction firms), and BUILDpower I (investment preparation and offer evaluation for project designers and investors); and (ii) specialized construction budgeting software, including RTS Stavitel Plus (desktop budgeting for tradespeople) and RTS CORE / RTS DATA online (cloud platform delivering the proprietary Cenová soustava RTS, a continuously maintained catalog of construction items, technical parameters, norms, and unit prices, with the 2026/I release adding over 5,300 new items). Supporting solutions include RTS BIM, a catalog of aggregated items, STAVEBNÍonline (a public procurement information portal), Profil zadavatele (electronic tool compliant with Act 134/2016 Coll.), and complete public procurement administration services for over 100 procuring entities including municipalities and government bodies. The technology stack is built on Microsoft SQL Server (Express editions 2014/2019/2022) with native Excel I/O, integrates Microsoft and Google identity plus GP webpay and Raiffeisenbank payment gateways, and is published bilingually (Czech/English).

RTS operates a hybrid go-to-market: a hybrid sales-led and product-led motion combining direct enterprise field sales for INFOpower ERP and large public sector deployments, an e-shop (eshop.rts.cz) for software and database licenses, a cloud subscription channel via RTS CORE / rtscloud.cz, free trials and student editions of BUILDpower S, spring-and-autumn seminars plus custom in-company training, and the STAVEBNÍonline portal serving as both content and indirect channel. Revenue is generated from five streams: one-time/perpetual software licenses, recurring RTS CORE cloud subscriptions and RTS DATA database licensing (with annual price-level releases), professional services for public procurement administration, managed IT/Network services (Správa sítě) on monthly SLA contracts, and paid seminars and training. Customer segments are vertically oriented around Czech construction, comprising construction companies, investors and project designers, tradespeople and artisans, and public sector entities; named reference customers include Statutární město Brno, Statutární město Ostrava, SZIF, and multiple other municipalities. RTS owns no subsidiaries, has no disclosed parent or institutional shareholders, has never raised external funding, and has not engaged in M&A, leaving the company as a stable, founder-era Central European vertical software firm with deep regulatory and data moats but a confined primary geography.

Regional players

• BauText Software (a RIB Software partner): German construction estimating software with comparable positioning to RTS DATA in providing localized pricing databases and cost catalogs for DACH-region construction. Direct competitive overlap on the data/content side of the business.
• Callidus Software (M-Érték / Hungarian Callidus): Hungarian construction cost estimation and project management software provider operating in a regional Central European market. Comparable business model and target customers (construction firms, public procurers) but primarily serves Hungary rather than Czech Republic.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Global cloud-native construction management platform with significantly broader product portfolio (project management, quality, safety, financials) than RTS. Serves enterprise general contractors and owners worldwide but does not specialize in Central European regulatory compliance.
• Sage Construction & Real Estate: UK-headquartered accounting and ERP software with construction-specific modules (Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 Construction). Broader portfolio serving multiple industries; comparable in construction financial management but not specialized in cost estimation databases.
• Trimble Viewpoint (Trimble Construction): Enterprise construction ERP and project management software (Vista, Spectrum) targeting mid-market to enterprise contractors globally. Comparable in ERP functionality but serves much larger customers and lacks Czech-specific regulatory content.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Microsoft): Global enterprise ERP and CRM platform with construction industry templates and partners. Comparable as an alternative ERP option for larger Czech construction firms; RTS integrates with Microsoft identity providers rather than competing head-on, but Dynamics 365 remains the primary alternative at the high end.

Direct peers

• RIB Software (Schneider Electric): German-headquartered construction software vendor (now owned by Schneider Electric) offering iTWO platform for construction ERP, cost estimation, and project management. Most directly comparable international competitor with similar product breadth and target customer segments.
• HCSS (Heavy Construction Systems Specialists): US-based construction estimating and field operations software provider serving heavy civil and general contractors. Directly comparable in construction cost estimation product category but serves North American market exclusively.
• KROS s.r.o. Slovak-based construction budgeting and cost estimation software vendor with overlapping product structure (KROS 4, CENKROS) targeting the same Central European construction industry. Highly comparable business model serving construction firms, investors, and public sector procurers in neighboring Slovakia.

Emerging players

• PlanRadar: Austrian-founded SaaS platform for construction documentation, defect management, and project collaboration. Adjacent product category overlapping in construction workflow software but not competing directly on cost estimation/budgeting.
