What CDC Group of Companies does

CDC Group of Companies (Группа компаний СиДиСи / Центр Корпоративных Разработок) is a privately held Russian enterprise software developer and integrator founded in 1995 and headquartered in Moscow. The company builds and operates the OPTIMUM Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP), a proprietary digital platform supporting rapid development and operation of mobile applications on Aurora, Android, iOS, and Linux operating systems, with extensions into Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and on-device machine vision. Around the core MEAP, CDC has assembled a portfolio of branded vertical products: OPTIMUM SkyNet for offline image and video recognition, OPTIMUM SmartGIS for route optimization and satellite fleet monitoring, OPTIMUM SUMS for maintenance-and-repair (TOiR/SOUR) automation, OPTIMUM ISUMT (SFA) for field sales/merchandising/van selling, OPTIMUM BESTSHOP and OPTIMUM Mobile Cash Register for point-of-sale and 54-FZ-compliant field payments, OPTIMUM DATABRO for operational data aggregation, and OPTIMUM PERESVET for media monitoring. A total of 36 OPTIMUM-based products are included in the Russian Software Registry, anchoring an explicit import-substitution positioning.

CDC generates revenue through three streams: software licenses and platform subscriptions for the OPTIMUM suite, professional services covering consulting, integration, customization, and support, and hardware sales of mobile terminals, rugged and explosion-proof devices, Aurora OS devices, GPS/GLONASS trackers, mobile printers, and online cash registers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a regional partner and system-integrator network across Russia and CIS (MT-Proekty, Komp'yuternye Tekhnologii, ИнТегра, plus partners in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan). The platform integrates with 1C, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics AX, and is deployed at more than 500 enterprises including Rusagro, Rosseti, MOEK, Russian Post, Mars, PepsiCo Russia, Nestle, DIXY, and Vimm-Bill-Dann, with documented operational outcomes such as 40% order-processing time reductions, 30% fleet-cost reductions, and 30% sales uplifts at named customers.
