What Droptica does

Droptica Sp z.o.o is a Poland-based, Drupal-only software development agency founded in 2013 and headquartered in Wrocław, with additional offices in Rzeszów and Toruń. The company audits, takes over, migrates, and continuously improves mission-critical Drupal platforms for enterprise and public-sector clients, with primary verticals in higher education, corporate, media/publishing, and regulated industries. Its service portfolio spans Drupal development, headless/decoupled architecture (React, Next.js), Drupal 7-to-10/11 migration, code audits, consulting, and a Care & Growth managed-services retainer model priced via monthly subscriptions or custom project quotes.

Droptica's product surface includes several open-source Drupal distributions it has created and maintains: Droopler CMS (corporate website builder), CampusCMS (higher education), Open Intranet (intranet/employee portal), Open Agent Hub (AI integration hub launched in 2024), and Druscan (a free technical Drupal audit tool with AI-based analysis). The underlying technology stack is Drupal on PHP/Symfony, containerized with Docker-based tooling (docker-drupal, docker-console, Turbo Drupal) on DDEV and Platform.sh, and enhanced with GitHub Copilot in development workflows.

The business operates on a combination of professional services (project-based development, staff augmentation), managed services (monthly Care & Growth retainers), and indirect product-led revenue from open-source lead generation. Droptica holds Gold Acquia Certified Partner status, ISO 27001 certification, 80+ Acquia Drupal certifications across the team, and 44 active Drupal.org contributors supporting 24 projects. The company is privately held, founder-controlled by Maciej Łukiański (CEO/Co-founder) and Grzegorz Bartman (Co-founder), with no disclosed external institutional investment.
