The way we see the world

We believe that humanity's current trajectory is unsustainable, and accordingly, the current decision-making methodologies of companies must also change. Decisions become sharper, the importance of finding the right trade-offs increases. In such an environment, quantitative decision-making will play a prominent role. Optasoft wants to be a factor that can have a positive effect on achieving sustainability.

At Optasoft, our mission is to provide companies that harmonize with our values with modern optimization systems at the best price-value ratio available on the market, thus increasing their competitiveness, significantly reducing their costs and increasing their profits.

 

Our History

The founders of Optasoft Kft. started from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2004 with the aim of creating a free intellectual creative workshop. All of them are recognized specialists who have contributed to solving the challenges of industrial production processes and supply chains with research and innovation for many years.

We have been partnering with AIMMS since 2006. We work in the mathematical modeling platform of AIMMS, we develop software tailored to the unique needs of our customers.

That year also saw the start of the first real Optasoft project with Graboplast.

After the 2008 economic crisis, the redefinition of the company's internal processes and values began.

In the following years, company management became more conscious. In order to provide a continuous overview of the financial area, we created the CashFlow software and reviewed the company's current affairs at weekly meetings.

In 2011, we became a partner of the international consulting company ICG Integrated Consulting Group.

Since 2012, we have been operating according to the agile approach, using the scrum method.

In 2013, we introduced ISO, described our processes, and obtained official ISO certification.

Since 2017, we have been partners of GTS and exclusive Central European distributors of the TransIT software.

In March 2020, as a result of the first wave of COVID, we switched to home office operation. That's when we started doing yoga together. 

This year was also the first Optimization of our Service project. 

Our first Digital Twin project started in 2021, which has since been followed by several others.
