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
20 years of history
We are not some rookies! We have started our activity in software development
and coatings already more than 20 years ago as you can see below.
Check the most interesting points in our history.
1998
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. 🙂
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.
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.
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.
2010
DESO Was Officially Established
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.
Redlike Launch
We launched a new version of the dispensing software Redlike and the first customers who signed up have stayed with us ever since. 🙂
2012
We Hire Our First Employee, Yeah!
Our team is growing slowly but surely. In 2012, we hired the first regular full-time employee (excluding the owners of the company).
We Are Spreading Abroad
We had already had customers from various countries in Europe but in 2012, we have started also our first agency cooperation.
2013
Web Technologies on the Rise
Web technologies are a trend but the coatings industry is still a little bit behind.
We have started our activity to change this situation. We have our first mobile app, the first version of the service application, and more.
Key Projects Launched
We launch our new key projects Universal Dispense Driver and Tinting Management Center (TMC). Both will prove to be game-changers in the future.
For the first time, we have our own stand on European Coating Show in Nuremberg.
2014
New Generation of ColorStudio
ColorStudio 3 is the new generation of visualization tool. We developed it in the new HTML5 technology which makes us a pioneer on the market. Besides, many competitors have still old-school Flash versions in 2018…
We Have Already 5 Employees 🙂
More projects and more customers ask for a bigger team. We hire the fifth employee.
Great feedback for the TMC alfa version also ensured us about the auspicious future of this project.
2015
20 Countries Conquered
Our products are already in 20 countries around the world. And what is even better, we get great feedback from different directions. Customers and partners love our products and services which stimulate our brains to even better results.
First Woman in DESO!
We have the first woman among our employees. You know, IT companies… 🙂
2016
Beta Version of TMC Launched!
We launch the beta version of Tinting Management Center (TMC) and start deep real-operation testing with the first customers and partners.
The first contract of TMC distribution is also signed as some of our partners could not wait until the official launch.
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…
2017
DESO Belongs among 10 Best Companies
We won the business award “One of top 10 companies in South Moravian Region”.
We have 10 employees already, three new women dramatically change the situation in our company. 🙂
We have also started a new cooperation with an agent in Asia, and by the way, our products are already in 30 countries worldwide!
European Coatings Show
We officially launch TMC to the market and get new installations literally every day.
Our third participation on the ECS is a great success, we also strengthen our business activities and the number of customers grows rapidly.
2018
German Office Opened
For the first time in our history, we have opened a new office in a foreign country. And we have started with Germany where our colleague Helena creates new co-operations and provides support for German-speaking customers.
We Celebrate Our Technology Success
We are lecturing on conferences and symposiums around Europe, we participate on coating shows, we are suppliers and members of interesting projects of large companies.
Our knowledge and position is unique and we enjoy each new challenge coming with new interesting projects!

The whole year 2019 was exceptional, we have got many new customers, we have fineshed key projects and we have launched others, our team has grown with five new members and our turnover increased year-on-year by more than 100%!
2020
We've adapted to a new normal
The health and safety of our employees, customers and partners is our highest priority. But the virus couldn’t stop us! We immediately introduced new measures and tools that helped us to stay safe and continue creating new awesome solutions.
A bigger team to share our success with!
We all know that the year 2020 is being quite a challenge. However, we’re very proud to say that even so, our team has grown by another 8 fulltime people!
