GRAFIE CZ, s.r.o.

What GRAFIE CZ, s.r.o. does

GRAFIE CZ, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company (s.r.o.) founded in 1999 and headquartered in Prague 3, operating with a core team of approximately six employees. The company is a specialized value-added reseller, implementation partner, and software developer focused exclusively on the Czech graphic arts and printing industry. Its business centers on PDF workflow automation, preflight and correction, color management, MIS/ERP deployment, and web-to-print e-commerce solutions for commercial and packaging printers. The company also runs the GRAFIE Academy education program, which has been active since 2003.

The product portfolio combines proprietary platforms with distributed international software. Its two proprietary products are FlexiFlow — an intelligent production management and tracking system launched in January 2026 as an overlay for the Enfocus Switch ecosystem, adding job routing, inventory management, digital job sheets, and operator interfaces — and W2P Flexible, a web-to-print e-commerce platform supporting B2B and B2C transactions with multiple hosting options. GRAFIE CZ also distributes and implements Enfocus Switch and its modules (Metadata, Scripting, Database ODBC/SQL, Web Services REST API, Review, Reporting), PitStop Server/Pro, Phoenix (with Imposition AI), and Griffin; Ultimate TechnoGraphics Impostrip and Bindery; Adobe Acrobat Pro and Creative Cloud (since December 2023); and Graphic Communications PACE and NUBIUM MIS/ERP systems. The company holds Enfocus Gold Partner status and Adobe Authorized Reseller certification.

The business model is multi-stream: software resale (perpetual and annual subscriptions), professional services (workflow analysis, implementation, ISO 12647-2/7 calibration and certification), recurring service contracts (typically 5–10 hours/month of reserved engineering time at preferential rates), and education (GRAFIE Academy seminars, in-company training, published workscripts and books). GRAFIE CZ transitioned in September 2022 from publishing "Noviny pro grafický průmysl" to operating as a pure-play IT services and software firm. Distribution is entirely direct through named consultants handling new licenses, service contracts, and W2P engagements respectively; the company operates exclusively within the Czech Republic.

Broad incumbents

• Enfocus: Enfocus is the primary technology vendor whose Switch, PitStop, Phoenix, and Griffin products GRAFIE CZ resells and implements as a Gold Partner. Enfocus also sells directly to large accounts and through other partners globally, making it both a primary supplier and a partial competitor to GRAFIE CZ in the Czech market.
• Kodak: Kodak's Prinergy and Prinergy Evo workflow offerings compete directly with the Enfocus Switch stack that GRAFIE CZ resells and implements for commercial and packaging printers. Kodak also supplies digital press hardware, addressing the same Czech printing customers as a broader incumbent.
• CAI Software: CAI Software (parent of Graphic Communications, formerly eProductivity Software) develops the PACE MIS/ERP and NUBIUM MIS products that GRAFIE CZ resells and implements. CAI Software serves the same mid-market and enterprise printing customer base as GRAFIE CZ via its direct sales force and other implementation partners.
• Esko: Esko is the global leader in packaging and prepress workflow software, offering an integrated portfolio that overlaps substantially with the Enfocus/Adobe/Ultimate/CAI stack GRAFIE CZ resells. Esko targets the same commercial and packaging printing customers as GRAFIE CZ but as a much larger vendor with native (rather than resold) solutions.
• Hybrid Software: Hybrid Software provides MIS, workflow, and production automation software for the label and packaging printing industry. It competes with the Enfocus/Cai Software/PACE MIS combination that GRAFIE CZ resells and implements, addressing an overlapping customer base in commercial and packaging print.
• Ricoh: Ricoh's TotalFlow print workflow and production print offerings provide end-to-end print automation from job submission through finishing, addressing the same commercial and packaging printing customers as GRAFIE CZ. As a global incumbent with hardware-software bundles, Ricoh represents a competitive alternative for printers considering workflow investments.

Direct peers

• OneVision Software: OneVision Software offers print workflow automation solutions including prepress automation, file preparation, and color management - directly overlapping with GRAFIE CZ's core Enfocus Switch, PitStop, and color management practice. Both companies serve commercial printing customers with workflow optimization offerings.
• ColorLogic GmbH: ColorLogic specializes in color management software and ICC profiling technology for the graphic arts industry - directly overlapping with GRAFIE CZ's color management, ISO 12647 calibration, and ICC profile creation services. Both firms serve printers seeking color consistency across digital and offset production.
• Ultimate TechnoGraphics: Ultimate TechnoGraphics manufactures the Ultimate Impostrip imposition and Ultimate Bindery finishing software that GRAFIE CZ distributes and implements in Czech Republic. The two companies have a partner relationship but Ultimate's imposition products functionally compete with adjacent offerings from Hybrid Software and Esko that printers might alternatively adopt.
• Caldera: Caldera provides RIP and workflow software for wide-format and digital printing, with a focus on print production automation. Caldera's offerings overlap with GRAFIE CZ's wide-format and digital printing workflow implementations involving Ultimate Impostrip, Enfocus Griffin, and PitStop Server.
