What HUMUSOFT s.r.o. does

HUMUSOFT s.r.o. is a privately held Czech company founded in 1991 that operates as the sole authorized reseller of MathWorks (MATLAB & Simulink), the sole authorized distributor of COMSOL AB (COMSOL Multiphysics), and the sole authorized distributor of dSPACE SE & Co. KG for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Headquartered in Prague with a branch office in Bratislava, the company employs approximately 20 people and supports a customer base that spans engineering-intensive commercial and industrial sectors (automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial automation, energy, R&D) and academic institutions (primary schools, secondary schools, and universities).

The company's technical portfolio is organized around three core platforms plus proprietary hardware. The MATLAB & Simulink platform is sold as individual, designated computer, network, and PASS academic licenses, with a large library of add-on toolboxes spanning AI, deep learning, signal processing, control systems, embedded code generation, RF, automotive, aerospace, finance, and robotics. COMSOL Multiphysics is offered together with its module library (AC/DC, RF, CFD, structural mechanics, heat transfer, acoustics, chemical reaction engineering, battery design, optimization, particle tracing, granular flow, etc.) in both perpetual and annual license variants. dSPACE real-time simulation hardware and software (SCALEXIO, DS6xxx boards, ConfigurationDesk) addresses rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing. HUMUSOFT itself produces the HeavyHorse line of multi-processor workstations designed for high-performance numerical computing, and develops the Simulink Desktop Real-Time add-on library that supports a range of I/O devices for real-time Simulink execution on PC or Mac.

Revenue is generated through software license resale and annual maintenance, training services (public in-person/online courses and private customized courses), technical consulting in control engineering and dynamic systems simulation, and direct sales of HeavyHorse workstations. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, supported by an in-house application engineering team providing pre-sales consulting, post-sales technical support, and a moderated job exchange portal that connects candidates with MATLAB/Simulink/COMSOL/dSPACE skills to employers. Marketing combines a website/blog, quarterly newsletter, social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), regional webinars, and the annual Technical Computing Camp conference in Brno. Pricing for commercial software is quote-based; the PASS academic license is publicly priced at 10,580 CZK/year (Czech Republic) and 399 EUR/year (Slovakia).

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• dSPACE GmbH: dSPACE is the manufacturer of real-time simulation hardware and software for rapid control prototyping and HIL, and HUMUSOFT's third principal under a sole authorized distributor arrangement for CZ/SK. Comparable as the supplier whose dSPACE/SCALEXIO products HUMUSOFT sells and supports, with overlapping customer base in automotive and aerospace.
• MathWorks: MathWorks is the developer of MATLAB and Simulink and HUMUSOFT's principal supplier under an exclusive authorized reseller arrangement for CZ/SK. Comparable because MathWorks sets the product roadmap, pricing, and competitive positioning that HUMUSOFT's entire business revolves around, and operates direct sales globally that could eventually disintermediate HUMUSOFT in CZ/SK.
• ESI Group: ESI Group provides simulation software for manufacturing and materials engineering (virtual manufacturing, crash/impact, welding) that competes in adjacent simulation domains to COMSOL and Simulink. Comparable as a broad simulation incumbent targeting the same industrial R&D customers that HUMUSOFT's Czech and Slovak clients represent.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Siemens DI Software provides Simcenter and NX simulation/PLM tools that compete with the MATLAB/Simulink/COMSOL/dSPACE portfolio HUMUSOFT distributes. Comparable as a broad incumbent that targets the same automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers in CZ/SK, often displacing multi-vendor simulation toolchains in favor of integrated Siemens stacks.
• Altair Engineering: Altair offers a broad engineering simulation and HPC portfolio (including HyperWorks, Flux, Inspire) that competes with COMSOL in multiphysics and with MATLAB in technical computing workflows. Comparable as an alternative simulation vendor targeting the same engineering customers in Central Europe that HUMUSOFT serves.
• ANSYS Inc. ANSYS is a leading broad-portfolio simulation software vendor (structural, fluids, electromagnetics, thermal) that competes directly with COMSOL Multiphysics in multiphysics and with MATLAB/Simulink in system simulation. Comparable because ANSYS shares the same end customers (engineering R&D teams in automotive, aerospace, electronics) that HUMUSOFT serves, and is often evaluated alongside the tools HUMUSOFT distributes.
• COMSOL AB: COMSOL AB is the developer of COMSOL Multiphysics and HUMUSOFT's principal under a sole authorized distributor arrangement for CZ/SK. Comparable as the upstream product owner whose technology HUMUSOFT resells, supports, and trains customers on, and which maintains its own direct global sales force alongside its distributor network.

Regional players

• The MathWorks Authorized Distributor Network (regional distributors): Other national/regional authorized MathWorks distributors in countries such as Germany, Italy, France, Korea, and Japan perform an identical role to HUMUSOFT — sole authorized reseller of MATLAB/Simulink within their geography, providing licensing, training, consulting, and technical support. Directly comparable business model, but operating in different geographies and therefore not in direct competition with HUMUSOFT.

Direct peers

• Speedgoat GmbH: Speedgoat makes real-time target machines for Simulink Real-Time and hardware-in-the-loop testing, competing head-to-head with HUMUSOFT's dSPACE line for the same customer use case (real-time control prototyping). Both companies serve engineers integrating Simulink models with real hardware, addressing automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation customers.
• Maplesoft: Maplesoft develops Maple and MapleSim technical computing and simulation software, directly competing with MATLAB/Simulink and COMSOL in academic and engineering markets. Comparable as a niche technical-computing software vendor with overlapping customer segments (engineering research, academia, simulation-driven design) where HUMUSOFT's distribution and consulting capability could be redirected.
