MEDIA FACTORY

What MEDIA FACTORY does

MEDIA FACTORY (legal entity: MEDIA FACTORY Czech Republic a.s.) is a Prague-based custom web application development firm founded in 2002 that designs and builds complex bespoke web applications for enterprise clients primarily in the Czech Republic and the broader CEE region. The company serves large organizations in telecommunications (Vodafone Czech Republic, O2 Family), aviation (Prague Airport), insurance/risk management (Contin, Renomia), automotive (KIA Czech Republic, Škoda), financial services (ČSOB, Česká exportní banka, Česká národní banka, Raz Dva půjčka), education (Charles University), and non-profit (Vodafone Foundation) sectors, with named references spanning client portals, reservation systems, online contracting platforms, internal workflow systems, and e-learning deployments.

The company delivers projects on its proprietary Build Ready modular platform (formerly baseOn-X), built on React 19 and Java 21 LTS with PostgreSQL/MySQL backends, containerized Docker/Kubernetes deployments, Kafka-based real-time messaging, GraphQL/REST APIs, and SSO/SAML/OAuth/2FA authentication. The platform ships with pre-built components (dynamic forms, data grids, document management, workflow automation) that are reused across engagements to accelerate delivery. Architecture is explicitly AI-ready, supporting AI assistants, predictive analytics, computer vision, NLP, and an MCP server for AI connectivity, with active AI deployment in client deliverables such as the Contin COS insurance claims system.

MEDIA FACTORY generates revenue through professional-services project delivery (custom web application development and MVP development) and managed services (long-term hosting on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud with 99.95% SLA, monitoring, and iterative development). The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with a free business consultation as the lead-conversion mechanism, supplemented by content marketing (technical blog, LinkedIn, Instagram), case-study evidence, and direct sales to mid-market clients. The company is a member of the MEDIA FACTORY GROUP, alongside Digital Vision, Minion, and Search Ready, enabling cross-company collaboration on bundled digital offerings. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
