Software is nowadays the main difference-maker on dispensing machines. It creates the interface for a machine operator, it even allows you to work with the machine, it can improve work with the dispenser significantly, but also slow it down dramatically. Investment into software is not even 5 % of the machine price and many companies keep underestimating it…
Our focus, experience and independency make DESO a unique software provider in the paint industry. Our strategy is to bring uncompromising quality of products, flexible services and cost-effectiveness to our customers.
top-quality products
Software is our only product and so its quality is the best possible!
In our case, software is not only some supplement or support of other main product. Our focus allows us to create new trends not only adopt them. Thanks to this, our customers have always the best possible solution without compromises.
flexible services
We enjoy customizations, specific development and support!
Each software is only as good as support and services behind. You can buy great software but without appropriate care, it will not bring you expected results. Consider the provider’s services as one of the main attributes.
close cooperation
We prefer very close cooperation with win-win results!
Software is a living organism which asks for continuous care to grow and thrive. The result of such care will surprise you quickly. Our close cooperation brings you a long term solution without worries and unexpected costs.
Effective investment
Evaluate the cost of ownership of your software!
Software is a strategic investment and it can bring you huge benefits. If you choose the correct solution, it will save you a lot of money and it will even bring you more money. You will see such results soon.
We realise that
software is the key
and what about you?
Machine properties
Speed, reliability, cost of ownership… All positive machine properties could be multiplied by proper software solution, and a lot of negative impacts could be minimized. And vice versa, old-school software could crush your new powerful machines.
Point of sale support
The target of machines is to produce the final product, the target of shops is to sell to the customer. The machine itself cannot sell and can only help in a very limited way. Software, on the contrary, could rise paint services to another level as well as impact sales immediately.
Makes a difference
Software is nowadays the main difference-maker on dispensing machines. It creates the interface for the machine operator, it even allows you to work with the machine, it can improve work with the dispenser significantly, but also slow it down dramatically.
5 % of costs
Investment into software is not even 5 % of the machine price, actually, on average it is only about 3 %. But still (or perhaps exactly due to this fact), many companies underestimate it dramatically, and thus destroy their investment into machines.
Unique experience during more than

We Learn from Our Own Mistakes
Feedback from TMC testing was great and the launch was much faster then we had expected. This caused a collapse of our servers and revealed a big mistake in the project background.
Our great developers have fixed it soon and we launched a new powerful version capable of handling huge amounts of machines. Learning from mistakes in practice…

After the first years of cooperation, Tomas, Martin and Jiri have officially established DESO development. The main focus of the company were software solutions for coatings since the very beginning.
1998
Cooperation Launch
Our initial team and future co-owners started their cooperation. In those times, we were looking for our own identity a little bit as well as for the potential of our specific focus.
We Have Just Started!
Yes, already in 1998 we have created the first versions of our software for the coatings industry. It is a truly deep history and this software of ours was back then still in MS-DOS. 🙂
Building a Product Portfolio
Since 2005, we have already seen our future direction, and so we have started building a more complex product portfolio. Dispensing software, a visualization tool, specific laboratory software, data transformation, and much more.
First Version of ColorStudio
In 2003, we had launched the first version of our visualization tool ColorStudio (Java version). The second version was created in 2006 in Flash which was a very popular technology back then.
