AROBS

AROBS has operated since 1998 from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and is the largest technology company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The company employs roughly 1,100+ people across 11 offices in Romania and international branches in the USA, Germany, UK, Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Poland, and Belgium. It started as an IT outsourcing shop and has evolved into a hybrid software services and products company, with particular depth in automotive, aerospace, marine, travel technology, IoT, life sciences, fintech, and enterprise solutions.

Services and capabilities

ARBS divides its work across custom software development, in-house products, and specialized service lines. On the services side, the company offers application development, system integrations, maintenance and support, migrations, and QA. It also provides cybersecurity services including vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and periodic security audits. The company is accredited by the Romanian National Cyber Security Directorate and offers NIS2 compliance consulting for organizations under EU Directive 2022/2555.

Secure software development is built into their standard practice: developers follow OWASP TOP10, MISRA, and secure coding principles from planning through deployment. R&D is another pillar—the company has run scientific research methods in automotive, telecom, and low-orbit communication projects. AROBS promotes rapid prototyping, claiming a "POC in a Week. MVP in a Month" cadence for AI-powered development.

Intelligent automation work spans robotic process automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence applications. The company also runs a Fleet Management Solutions business (acquired SAS Grup in 2018 and Skyshield Hungary in 2019), offering GPS-based vehicle tracking and real-time fleet monitoring. Business mobility solutions like Optimall SFA cover sales force automation, warehouse inventory, and TMS systems, with compatibility across 73+ ERP platforms. HR solutions include True HR and dp-Payroll (acquired via UCMS Grup).
