Performance indicators

2022: Revenue - 1.3 billion rubles, an increase of 32 %

In 2022, the revenue of CJSC "Top Systems" increased by 32% and amounted to 1.3 billion rubles, follows from the reporting on the financial results of the company, published in the database of the Federal Tax Service. Net profit was received in the amount of about 607.7 million rubles, 121.9% more than a year earlier.

From the explanations to the report on financial results published in the database of the Federal Tax Service, it follows that the vast majority of revenue in 2022 - about 866 million rubles - fell on license agreements. This is 115% more than in 2021.

The turnover of Top System has been steadily increasing over the past few years. As the main drivers of growth in 2022, the company distinguishes three main components.

The first is the increased interest in the solutions of domestic developers, due to the strengthening of the sanctions policy and the tightening of the requirements of regulatory documents for elements of critical infrastructure. The second is the positive attention of state authorities to developers and industry, primarily through targeted measures of state support for import substitution projects. And the third component is the completion of a number of our internal development projects and the demonstration of the maturity of solutions of the T-FLEX PLM complex to high-tech industries, "Konstantin Golovkin, Development Director of Top Systems, explained to TAdviser.

The departure of foreign vendors, of course, increased demand, but was not decisive, emphasizes Konstantin Golovkin. The main thing is the maturity of solutions and understanding of the tasks of the industrial customer. Top Systems has long been involved in import substitution and digitalization processes and has accumulated significant competencies in the implementation of such projects.

Against the background of increased growth in demand for domestic solutions in 2022, some IT developers raised prices for their products. In the "Top System" they say that they did not have an increase in software prices:

Since we are a domestic developer and grew with domestic industry, we have always tried to adhere to conservative pricing policies. "

T-FLEX products are already used by many enterprises. According to information from open sources, including Russian Railways, UAC, Aeropribor-Voskhod ( part of Rostec Group of Companies), All-Russian Research Institute of Automation named after N.L. Dukhova (part of Rosatom Group of Companies), Shcherbinsky Elevator Plant, EPK Group of Companies, Uralkriomash, OMG Construction and Road Machines, GAZ-ITservice, etc.

The Top Systems solutions are widely used at enterprises in the GC circuit. Roscosmos In particular, under the project TsNIIMash on development - PLM environments of Roskosmos Group on the basis of the products "Top Systems" following the results of the competitive selection which took place in 2022 the grant RFRIT about 2.2 billion rubles^[1] was attracted^[2] has the status of a particularly significant one and is designed for a period until 2025.

Grant support for projects based on Top Systems products was also attracted, for example, by the Ural Automobile Plant^[3] Software and HMS Neftemash^[4].

At the same time, Top Systems supplies its products not only to Russian customers, but also has long been developing international business, primarily at the expense of partner firms.

Currently, more than 3.5 thousand foreign customers use our software products in their work. T-FLEX solutions have already been translated into Polish, Czech, German, English, Italian, Korean and Chinese, and we are not going to stop there. Of course, the geopolitical situation has made its own adjustments - this is reflected primarily in financial transactions, but does not affect the level of service and support of our foreign customers, "Top Systems Development Director told TAdviser.

Now the company's strategy provides for the expansion of its international interaction through the list of "friendly" countries and emerging markets.

2008: "Reload" Product

The main product of Top Systems is the T-FLEX PLM complex - a full-scale solution in the field of product lifecycle management and enterprise organization. A single PLM system has been the result of a long evolution path that began with the development of the T-FLEX CAD parametric modeling system and the integrated software package.

A gradual increase in the number of application systems of the complex with a simultaneous increase in the number and scale of customers did their job, and as a result, it came to the realization that the technology of "integrating individual programs into a single complex" is a dead end and you need to look for a more promising solution. In 2008, the specialists of our company, having analyzed all the experience and experience of world leaders in the field of PLM technologies, came to understand the need for a serious technological restructuring of our product - the creation of a single PLM platform on which all solutions of the T-FLEX PLM complex will be built. This was a difficult decision, the implementation of which required the maximum stress of the entire company, and any mistake meant the collapse of the entire business. But it was worth it!, - says Top Systems CEO Sergei Kuraksin[5].

Thus, the core of the software complex appeared - the T-FLEX PLM platform: a universal tool for comprehensively solving the problems of modern design, preparation and planning of production, as well as creating its own information systems that expand and complement the T-FLEX PLM software complex.

The new version of the T-FLEX DOCs system was built on the information part of the platform, and the kernel of the T-FLEX CAD design system "merged" with its engineering part. As a result, a basic software package appeared - T-FLEX DOCs, designed for joint management of enterprise engineering data, organization of design and technological design and organizational and administrative document management, and a system of design preparation and 3D modeling T-FLEX CAD, combining parametric capabilities of 2D- and 3D modeling with tools for creating and designing drawings and design documentation in accordance with ESKD and foreign standards (ISO, DIN, ANSI).

1992: Establishing a Company

In 1992, the Top Systems company was officially registered, and the countdown of its history began. At that time, the engineering software market was practically absent, recalls Sergey Kuraksin, general director of Top System.

Since 1989, Russian companies have used mainly unlicensed AutoCAD, and we sought to show the advantages of a parametric approach to drawing, says Sergey Kuraksin. - In this we were even ahead of the mentioned company. A little later, positive feedback convinced us that the course was chosen right, and we are well placed to implement our plans.

Top Systems Approach to Automation

• The consistency of the proposed solutions is a single PLM data information model that does not require any means of converting and transferring data between individual applications. Built on a single T-FLEX DocsLine information platform, the T-FLEX PLM + complex allows you to solve any design, preparation and production management tasks at all stages of the LCD - from the origin of the project to the maintenance of the product during its operation and disposal.
• Parameterization is a tool for modern modeling and design. Parameterization in T-FLEX is not only a set of tools that allow you to design a product immediately taking into account its consumer characteristics. This is also an opportunity to build a so far one-of-a-kind PLM complex, which is an example of an end-to-end design and production preparation system, in which all changes in the design process are automatically reflected in all subsequent stages of production preparation. The competent use of T-FLEX PLM + systems improves product development by minimizing design errors and the impact of human factors on the final result.
• Import substitution - T-FLEX products developed by the Russian company Top Systems - is a vivid and clear example of the fact that today Russia has created its own comprehensive design, preparation and production management systems that meet all the world's requirements for serious corporate solutions. And the state import substitution program announced by the government is a very real project that can significantly increase the safety and independence of domestic developments, ensuring their highest quality level.
