The editorial staff of NEXTECH magazine annually conducts a survey of sales of enterprise information systems (ERP) on the Slovak market for the past year. As part of the survey, local producers of economic information systems, sales representatives of foreign companies operating in Slovakia, and sellers and implementers of their products were approached. 20 companies participated in the survey for 2023. Due to internal policies, some Slovak branches of global companies, including a probable SAP market unit, could not provide us with data related to the Slovak market.
In the overview, we have included solutions for smaller customers, but also complex solutions for medium and large customers. The target group for which the respective product is intended can be estimated based on the total number of licenses, their ratio to sales, total sales or the number of customers. In the case of most suppliers, there is an obvious focus on the selected market segment in terms of the “size” of the customer. Only a few companies provide ERP solutions for the segment of large enterprises and at the same time another product for smaller and medium-sized companies. We were also interested in the share of cloud solutions.
The total revenue from the sale of ERP solution licenses for the year 2023 was €11,364,716 and the revenue from the sale of ERP solution services was €57,627,498. Since some companies did not provide us with data in each of the categories and the same companies as last year did not participate in the survey, these data cannot be directly or percentageally compared, nor would it make sense, because the local branches of SAP and other global companies are not included in the report.
If we divide the total revenue for ERP solutions of individual suppliers into revenue from the sale of licenses for the use of ERP solutions and revenue from the sale of services for these solutions, we find that the highest revenue from the sale of licenses was achieved by KROS (€1,774,000), followed by ANASOFT (€1,450 €000) and Asseco Solutions (€1,245,867). IMPLEMENTO, InfoConsulting Slovakia and KARAT Software did not provide us with data on license sales. For comparison, last year the order was KROS, Asseco Solutions, ANASOFT.
The company SOFTIP (€14,672,193) took the first place in terms of revenue from the sale of services, the second place was the company KROS (€13,436,000) and the third place was Asseco Solutions (€10,238,151). Last year, the order was SOFTIP, KROS and Asseco Solutions. The companies FLOWii, InfoConsulting Slovakia, KARAT Software, Kamar Software and QI GROUP SLOVAKIA did not provide us with data on sales of ERP services. We also included data on the percentage of licenses for cloud ERP solutions and its increase in the survey. The companies FLOWii, IMPLEMENTO and Hour (with the Humanet system) have 100% share of cloud solutions, 26HOUSE 95% share and ABRA software 85% share. The largest increase of 87% was recorded by the company 26HOUSE.
This survey concerned the year 2023, i.e. the year of the massive advent of artificial intelligence. Of course, AI is increasingly penetrating not only ERP, but practically all corporate information systems, but implementation and especially thorough testing of new functions takes some time. In next year’s survey, the advent of AI will certainly be evident, so we will include this area in next year’s survey. We will see if, in what way and to what extent AI will become an accelerator of innovation in the corporate IT sector.
