Forprogress

What Forprogress does

ForProgress is a Warsaw-based Polish IT consulting and services boutique founded in 2014, specializing in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), business analysis, and software quality control for enterprise and public-sector clients. The firm designs, builds, and maintains automation solutions for Polish municipalities (JSTs) as well as enterprises in leasing, insurance, pharmaceutical distribution, and financial services. Documented reference clients include PKO Leasing, PZU, the Polish Ministry of Finance, and cities such as Bydgoszcz and Gdańsk, with measured outcomes such as 90% 24/7 automated processing at PKO Leasing and approximately 1 million PLN in annual savings delivered to the city of Bydgoszcz.

Its core products are domain-specific automation assets rather than a unified horizontal platform: the Media Management Base product (deployed across ~50 JSTs), the KSeF e-Faktura Robot built around Poland's mandatory e-invoicing compliance regime, a residence certificate robot, and an overpayment verification robot. These are delivered through a proprietary ForEVO framework that supports a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) delivery model. The firm is multi-vendor certified across the major RPA stacks (UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, Micro Focus), and has extended its Polish RPA footprint through a 2020 distribution partnership with First Byte for the Wizlink platform.

Commercially, ForProgress generates revenue through a mix of professional services (process discovery, bot development, maintenance), RaaS subscriptions, software licensing support, and training. Go-to-market relies on reference accounts, industry awards (Smart City Expo 2022, Energy Transformation Leader 2023, Innowacyjny Samorząd 2024/2025), and membership in the Polish IT employers' association PIIT (joined December 2019). The firm remains small (11-50 employees), and the CEO has publicly stated plans for international expansion and additional branch offices in major Polish cities.

Core offering

ForProgress delivers Robotic Process Automation (RPA) consulting and implementation services to Polish enterprises and municipalities. Core offerings comprise three service lines: business process robotization (deploying software robots that automate repetitive tasks across ERP, web, MS Office and email systems), business analysis (bridging business and IT requirements), and software quality control (manual and automated testing). The firm also packages dedicated robot products for Polish local government entities (KSeF e-Invoice Robot, Media Management Base, Residence Certificate Robot) and offers a Robot as a Service (RaaS) delivery model.

Product overview

ForProgress is a Polish IT consulting firm founded in 2014, operating at the intersection of business and IT. The company's core offering consists of three integrated service areas: Robotyzacja procesów biznesowych (Robotic Process Automation / RPA), Analiza biznesowa (Business Analysis), and Kontrola jakości (Quality Control / Software Testing). Their primary product focus is RPA — software robots that automate repetitive, rule-based business processes across internal systems, web applications, browsers, MS Office, Windows, and email clients. ForProgress also delivers a set of named RPA sub-products targeting Polish local government entities, including the e-Faktur KSeF robot, Baza Zarządzania Mediami (Utilities Management Database), the residence certificate robot, and the overpayment verification robot. These are complemented by a Robot as a Service (RaaS) delivery model for clients who prefer not to maintain their own RPA infrastructure. The company collaborates with major global RPA platform vendors (UIPath, Micro Focus, Automation Anywhere, Softomotive, Wizlink) and integrates OCR and cognitive platforms for document processing.

Broad incumbents

• UiPath: Global leader in RPA software and increasingly full-stack automation including implementation services. A broader incumbent whose platform underpins much of ForProgress's delivery and which competes directly on large enterprise deals.
• Automation Anywhere: Major global RPA and AI-driven automation platform vendor. Comparable as a broad incumbent providing overlapping tooling and increasingly bundled services that compete with ForProgress's implementation work.
• Blue Prism (SS&C): Established enterprise RPA platform, now part of SS&C. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose technology stack ForProgress implements, and whose channel ecosystem competes for the same enterprise automation budgets.
• EdgeVerve (AssistEdge): Infosys-owned RPA and AI automation platform. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering both tooling and implementation that competes for enterprise process-automation spend adjacent to ForProgress's core.
• WorkFusion: RPA and AI-driven automation vendor focused on financial services and regulated industries. Comparable as an emerging broader incumbent whose 'digital worker' products overlap with ForProgress's enterprise RPA deployments.

Direct peers
