I.S.T.

What I.S.T. does

I.S.T. spol. s r.o. is a Czech private limited company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Plzeň that provides ERP information systems and related consulting services, with deep specialization in transport, freight forwarding (spedition), and third-party logistics (3PL) warehousing verticals. The firm operates as a Silver Partner of Asseco Solutions, distributing and implementing the Helios iNuvio platform for small-to-medium businesses and the Helios Nephrite platform for larger enterprises; both run on a Microsoft SQL Server foundation and accommodate modular extension through Helios Nephrite’s Open Development Platform.

Core proprietary offerings include the Logistics Warehouse Module (Logistický sklad) for Helios iNuvio, which handles 3PL storage operations with fixed-area and dynamic-occupancy billing, FIFO/LIFO/FEFO picking, and barcode scanner integration via GATEMA’s SDServer/SDClient, plus dedicated transport and spedition modules covering full truckload (FTL), collection/less-than-truckload services, air freight, and sea freight (FCL/LCL). The company integrates with SAP for inventory reporting, EDI (AVIEXP) for electronic delivery notes, and GS1 standards for SSCC barcode generation, positioning its stack at the operational layer for mid-market Czech enterprises.

I.S.T. generates revenue through software licensing and implementation (recurring subscription model), hourly consulting (1,850 CZK standard / 2,150 CZK expert, billed per half-hour), system maintenance and legislative-version updates, training courses, and bespoke module development. Distribution is dual-channel: direct consulting via phone, email, on-site visits, and remote connection, combined with sales through the wider Asseco Solutions partner network of roughly 15 regional resellers across the Czech Republic and Slovakia (including d2B in Bratislava, Popron Systems in Praha, and STAPRO in Liberec). Reference customers span logistics (DSV, DB Schenker, BohemiaCargo, SILOTRANS), breweries (Holba, Litovel, Svijany, Primátor), construction (AZ Elektrostav), automotive (Alpine), security (Brinks), utilities (Veolia, PVK), agriculture (Rohozec), technology (Honeywell), and government (ŘSD).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Asseco Solutions: Vendor of the Helios ERP platform that I.S.T. distributes as a Silver Partner. Asseco Solutions competes broadly in the Czech/Slovak ERP market and could disintermediate I.S.T. via direct sales or alternative partner tiers.
• SAP: Global ERP incumbent that I.S.T. integrates with via custom HPI procedures. Larger enterprise customers increasingly standardize on SAP, putting pressure on I.S.T.'s Helios-based stack at the upper mid-market.
• Infor: Industry-specific ERP suites (including Infor WMS) targeting logistics, distribution, and industrial mid-market customers comparable to I.S.T.'s transport, spedition, and warehousing verticals.
• Manhattan Associates: Global WMS and supply chain platform targeting 3PL and logistics customers similar to I.S.T.'s Logistický sklad users; represents the cloud-native competitive frontier for warehouse module functionality.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365: Cloud ERP/CRM platform that competes with Helios in the Czech SMB and mid-market — and which I.S.T. itself leverages at the infrastructure layer as a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider.

Direct peers

• IFS: Industry-specific ERP with strong capabilities in asset-intensive and logistics-adjacent verticals; competes for the same transport, distribution, and mid-market industrial customers as I.S.T.'s transport modules.
• Seyfor: Czech ERP vendor and implementation partner operating across Helios, SAP Business One, and Microsoft Dynamics, with comparable mid-market focus and similar vertical specialization in Czech/Slovak enterprise accounts.
• Abra Software (Stormware): Czech ERP/accounting vendor whose Abra Sunfam and Abra Gx product lines directly compete with Helios iNuvio and Helios Nephrite in the Czech SMB and mid-market segment.

Emerging players

• Blue Yonder: Cloud-based supply chain and WMS provider increasingly serving European 3PLs and shippers — overlapping with I.S.T.'s transport/warehousing customer base but at a different architectural tier.

Regional players

• Tieto (now part of TietoEVRY / Evitec): Nordic/Baltic IT services and ERP implementation peer with comparable vertical-ERP delivery model in Northern Europe; useful as a regional benchmark for European mid-market ERP rollouts.
