What Nugget SW does

Nugget SW is a Czech-headquartered payroll and HR software vendor founded in 1992 and based in Prague, serving approximately 400+ enterprise and mid-market customers across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company has operated continuously for 30 years and has been a subsidiary of RSM International since the July 2019 acquisition, operating under the RSM Payroll Solutions CZ brand from January 2020. Its customer base spans large multinational and domestic enterprises including Penta Hospitals, CPI Property Group, Plzeňský Prazdroj, Mercedes-Benz, Danone, and Bayer.

The product portfolio is anchored by the Nugget SW core payroll system, supplemented by HR Portál (a web-based HR portal), AVENSIO SW (HR management), Payminator (a payroll-focused product), and ATTENDO SW (attendance and workforce management, added via the 2021 acquisition of Alfa software and rebranded in 2025). The technical foundation is a Service-Oriented Architecture with web services, supporting both on-premise and cloud deployment, and certified integration with ERP, attendance, and HR systems from third-party vendors. The company also offers emergency payroll processing as a contracted service, positioning compliance continuity as a sellable feature.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: perpetual license purchase, license rental, cloud hosting subscriptions, payroll outsourcing, training, and emergency processing. The pricing model is hybrid, mixing one-time license fees with recurring services and outsourcing attach. Distribution leverages the RSM International network for multinational client reach and direct sales for domestic accounts. Following the January 2026 merger consolidating RSM Payroll entities in the Czech market, the company is positioning itself for the EU Pay Transparency Directive with a public conference scheduled for October 2026.
