Moon42 Rdi

What Moon42 Rdi does

Moon42 RDI is a privately-held, Budapest-headquartered software development and research company (MOON42 RDI Kft., registered 2013, operating roots back to ~2002) that delivers custom enterprise software, R&D project services, body leasing/staff augmentation, system integration, and UX/UI and brand design. Its client base spans multiple verticals and includes Volkswagen, Porsche, Vodafone, O2, Penny Market (189-shop touchscreen deployment), Takarékbank, Mondia Media Group, the Museum of Ethnography, and Hungarian universities such as Budapest University of Technology and the University of Szeged. Alongside services, Moon42 has assembled a portfolio of more than a dozen proprietary or co-developed products, including RevoED (e-learning), FieldBack (field-agent management), Helision (multi-criteria decision support), Farm42 (precision agriculture), CQUEST (CO2 credit trading), WaterGuard (water-loss detection), Smart City Universe, MotifCreator (museum application that won the 2022 Pixel Perfect Golden Prize and was exhibited at the 2023 Venice Biennale of Architecture), Etnoshop, ON AIR streaming, Packageez, and a new drone-based AI solutions line for hydropower site surveys and autonomous inventory/surveillance.

The technology stack is mainstream enterprise (Java/J2EE, .NET/C#, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Kafka, React/Angular/Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS) with application-specific AI in computer vision, remote sensing, optimization, and probabilistic decision analysis. Revenue mechanics are predominantly time-and-materials professional services plus bespoke fixed-price project work, with pricing calculated "according to clients' demands and technical circumstances"; grant-funded R&D from Hungarian and EU programs (VEKOP, GINOP, NKFIH, Ministry of Innovation and Technology) contributes materially to R&D capacity but is non-recurring. Geographic reach includes Hungary (Budapest HQ, Szeged R&D), Sri Lanka (Colombo, regional Asia-Pacific base), and Indonesia (Jakarta), with project delivery into Germany and Sweden. Growth orientation is anchored in interdisciplinary academic partnerships that convert into consortium grants across agriculture, environmental monitoring, education, and cultural-tech verticals.
