Why with us?
We are looking for growing companies. We will implement customized information systems, processes and applications on which they will build an even bigger company thanks to their skills. We work with the best IT tools that are available. We find solutions. Positive. Predictable. Without chaos.
The result is robust, scalable software solutions. In software development, we like the "where others fail, we start" challenge.
Our applications take on routine work in your company that previously had to be handled by humans. Accurately and quickly. In modern terms, it's called digitalization. So we help clients focus on really growing their business. With a smile.
We always think together with you to define the assignment for a better result. Yes, the amount of questions we ask can exhaust you 😊 We don't underestimate the initial analysis. That's why we don't promise the unfeasible, we don't paint on pink, and we point out the risks.
We deliver what we promise. We don't look for reasons why it can't be done, but how to do it. We'll see the project through to a successful conclusion, even if it sometimes takes evenings and weekends. We are HELIsmile.
You are not our clients, you are our partners. We like to talk to you and we try to make sure that our cooperation ends in satisfaction for both parties.
HELIsmile in brief? Our main specialization is the combination of relational and object-oriented approaches. We are not afraid of a functional approach (similar to the one used by the statistical language R). We like recursive structures and recursion in general. We by this way we analyze and design applications. When implementing HELIOS iNuvio and HELIOS Easy, we make sure that our partner gets maximum added value at an affordable price.
How we work?
We always start with an analysis. Even with projects that look simple at first glance. The "Devil" is usually hidden in the details. We try to avoid potential complications. We understand that it is possible to continuously modify the assignment when implementing a project. We are flexible. It is always necessary to agree whether to fix the price or the deadline. We emphasize that in software development, the exact "scope" of the project cannot always be determined in detail at the beginning and adjustments may occur.
However, guarantees are important - we take responsibility.
What you can expect from us: What we promise, we keep. End of story.
We rely on years of experience, using robust programming technologies. We test more rather than less. Our output is always ready for future adjustments and enhancements. If you want "the cheapest thing as fast as possible", please better contact someone else.

We are using the best tools
We implement the most widely used and popular information systems for small and medium-sized companies in the Czech Republic: HELIOS iNuvio (formerly HELIOS Orange) and HELIOS Easy.
We build intranets using the UMBRACO publishing system.
We connect the HELIOS information system with the PrestaShop e-shop.
Mostly we work with object-oriented programming in Microsoft technologies C# and MS SQL (desktop and web) with the addition of scripting in Python. We can do more complex statistical data evaluation using R. We are proficient in web technologies (such as Javascript and its complementary frameworks, etc.). Our scope is quite broad, and if it is an interesting project, we will cover other technologies as well. If necessary, we can also dust off PHP and MySQL.
Technologies
CMS (Content Management System) UMBRACO is an open source content management system. More than half a million websites around the world run on this platform. It is the most popular content management system for the Microsoft .NET technology platform.
We are one of the few companies in the Czech Republic that knows the UMBRACO CMS well and uses it for many projects.
The HELIOS information system is one of the most widely used information systems for medium-sized businesses in the Czech Republic.
The term R can refer to both a programming language and an environment for statistical data processing.
PrestaShop is the world's most widely used Open Source licensed ecommerce platform. More than 700 000 e-shops worldwide relies on PrestaShop platform.
It is a comprehensive, modifiable eShop that is provided for free. It is continuously developed and maintained.
C# (pronounced "See Sharp") is a modern, object-oriented and type-safe programming language.
We are familiar with Microsoft SQL database. Very thoroughly. Not for nothing some clients call us "SQL wizards".
