Plaut

What Plaut does

Plaut Slovensko, s.r.o. is a Bratislava-headquartered IT solutions company founded in April 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plaut Austria GmbH. It specializes in delivering government IT systems to the Slovak public sector, including ministries, state institutions, and the national postal operator, with a portfolio built on long-tenured client relationships rather than volume-based sales.

Its core product set comprises APONET (the postal tracking and delivery platform for Slovak Post), end-to-end electronic identity (eID) card lifecycle management including one of Europe's earliest remote qualified certificate issuance flows, the Electronic Census 2021 (SODB 2021) platform, the State Treasury system, and the IOMO self-service citizen service points. These systems support more than 20,000 institutional users, process approximately €9 billion in annual transaction value, and operate under a 99.9% availability target. The firm maintains ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 20000-1, 45001, and 37001 certifications and partners with DXC Technology Slovakia (mobile eID reader prototype) and IAGONA (IOMO kiosks) on product extensions.

The business model is project-based: large fixed-price or time-and-materials government IT procurements for system design, integration, and deployment, plus recurring operations, maintenance, and support contracts on installed systems. Plaut employs 100+ senior internal IT experts and reports approximately €10M in annual revenue, with no external funding rounds disclosed. Commercial reach is concentrated in Slovakia, with limited public evidence of geographic diversification beyond the domestic public-sector market.
