Qasida
Qasida is a Slovak cloud business ecosystem from Asseco Solutions, pairing a next-generation ERP with six applications — CRM, Service, Rental, Order Manager, Invoice Manager and an AI Platform that forecasts stock levels for distributors, manufacturers and hospitality operators.
What is Qasida?
Qasida is a cloud ecosystem of business applications built around a next-generation ERP and published by the Slovak software house Asseco Solutions. The core comes in two editions: Qasida ERP, presented as an intelligent ERP for established companies, and Qasida START, aimed at smaller businesses. Six applications sit around that core — AI Platform for stock forecasting, CRM for business case management, Service for service orders, Rental for rented and loaned equipment, Order Manager for products and orders, and Invoice Manager for billing. Between them they cover economics and accounting, invoicing, warehousing, wages, production and sales.
The named AI component is the AI Platform, and its scope is precise rather than broad: it forecasts inventory. It runs ABC and XYZ analyses, tracks the sales inventory ratio and supplies on the way, and calculates reorder points and safety stock, returning reports and recommendations broken down by warehouse, location and product type. Products can be classified through Google Categorization so a company can compare its own sales against the same category worldwide. The predictive statistical models are described as customisable, taking seasonality, promotions and anomalies such as war or pandemic into account. There is no conversational or generative assistant here.
Qasida is sold with sector solutions — retail, wholesale, e-commerce, mobile office, accounting firms, holding companies, service and rental — and with cross-cutting ERP packages named Standard, eCommerce, Services, Sales/The shop, Manufacture and Other industries. The platform claims multi-tenant, multi-language and multi-currency operation, compliance with Slovak and Czech legislation, and IFRS standards. Extension runs through plugins, the Qasida API and the Asseco Store marketplace, which advertises more than 170 applications and plugins.
The publisher states over 30 years of activity, 20,000 end users, 4,200 corporate customers and 170 staff, and belongs to the international Asseco group, present in more than 60 countries with over 30,000 employees. Two claimed limits deserve attention: the AI Platform is listed as a recommended accessory outside the standard packages, and the statutory compliance argument is built for Slovakia and Czechia.

- Connect an e-shop and third-party systems through the Qasida API
When to use Qasida / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Qasida is the right fit.
When to use Qasida
- Slovak and Czech SMEs and mid-market companies looking for a cloud ERP that follows local legislation and IFRS reporting standards
- Wholesalers, retailers and e-commerce sellers who want inventory forecasting backed by ABC/XYZ analysis, reorder points and safety stock rather than gut feel
- Manufacturing, service and rental businesses, each of which has a dedicated sector configuration in the range
- HORECA operators — the publisher names hospitality as a segment and issues a dedicated QASIDA/HORECA licence
- Freelancers and very small businesses that only need billing, through the standalone Invoice Manager application
When not to use Qasida
- Buyers who need a firm published price: only two tiers show a "from" amount, and neither carries a billing period
- Teams that want to subscribe self-service — the Standard and Enterprise tiers go through a contact form and a sales conversation
- Anyone looking for generative or conversational AI: the intelligence here is predictive and confined to inventory
- Companies outside Slovakia and Czechia that need statutory compliance out of the box, since localisation elsewhere depends on the partner network
- Developers who want to assess the API before buying, as Qasida API is sold as a commercial component with no public documentation
How to use Qasida
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Browse the sector solutions and ERP packages on the site to identify the configuration that matches your business
- Use the "I want to buy" or "I am interested" buttons: the Standard and Enterprise tiers open a contact form and a sales conversation, not an online checkout
- Create an account on the Asseco Store, the marketplace through which subscriptions are taken out
- Request activation of the trial version from the Store, as clause 8.2 of the cloud terms provides
- Explore the trial knowing that everything entered into it is erased every calendar day
- Agree the scope and the price in the contract, since clause 9.1 makes the contract price the binding one
- Have the solution configured with the publisher's consultants and solution architects, or with a third-party company
- Model your back-office and front-end processes, then extend the system with plugins from the Asseco Store or through the Qasida API
- Connect an e-shop using Qasida.API and the WooCommerce plugin, bearing in mind the one-shop limit
- Work from a browser: the data sits on the provider's server and is reached over the internet, with updates applied automatically
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Inventory AI that is genuinely tooled: ABC and XYZ analyses, reorder point, safety stock, and models that account for seasonality, promotions and anomalies
- An integrated ecosystem rather than isolated apps — the ERP and the six applications share master data, with SSO across integrations
- A real product API, with interface versioning and backward compatibility rather than a bolted-on endpoint
- An established publisher: over 30 years of activity, 4,200 corporate customers, backed by the international Asseco group
- Customer data hosted on a server located in the European Union, per the definition of "Server" in the cloud terms
- A 30-day free trial written into the contract at clause 8.1, not merely promised in marketing copy
- Slovak and Czech statutory compliance plus IFRS, multi-tenant and multi-currency operation, and an Asseco Store advertising more than 170 add-ons
Cons
- Incomplete price list: "from 3500 EUR" and "from 5000 EUR" are published with no period and no billing unit attached
- Clause 9.1 of the terms makes the contract price the one that counts, so the public page commits the publisher to nothing
- The AI Platform is a recommended accessory, expressly described as an extra outside the packages, and carries no price of its own
- No public API documentation, no sitemap and no robots.txt; the integrations page is marketing material, not a technical reference
- The English site is only partly translated, with leftover Slovak labels such as "Fakturacia" and visibly machine-translated product pages
- The published GDPR declaration is an employee notice rather than a product privacy policy, and no subprocessor list exists
- Guaranteed availability is limited to business days from 08:00 to 18:00 (clause 10.1), and clause 9.10 provides for an annual price increase indexed to inflation
Pricing & Plans
There is no permanent free plan. A free trial of 30 calendar days is provided for in clause 8.1 of the cloud terms and is activated from the Asseco Store. The published price list shows three tiers: START, for up to five users, from 3500 EUR; Standard, for more than five users, from 5000 EUR; and Enterprise, on request. These amounts appear without any billing period or billing unit, in the English and the Slovak versions alike, which is why no starting price, currency code or billing unit is recorded here: attaching a monthly or annual basis to them would be an invention, and would turn a figure of unknown scope into a misleading one. Clause 9.1 states in any case that the price is the one agreed in the contract, so the public figures are indicative only. Further contractual terms apply: clause 9.10 allows an annual increase indexed to Slovak inflation published by the statistical office, clause 9.7 sets a late-payment penalty of 0.05% per day, and clause 9.9 permits deactivation after ten days of arrears. The AI Platform is listed among recommended accessories, outside the packages and without a price of its own, and Qasida.API covers a single connected e-shop, with development of the e-shop add-on not included.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Qasida handles your data.
GDPR overview
Asseco Solutions publishes a GDPR compliance declaration and names a data protection officer, Ing. Miroslav Majtáš, MBA, reachable at gdprsk@assecosol.com. Read it for what it is, though: the document is an employer's information notice addressed to the company's own staff, not a product privacy policy — and the site publishes no separate one. The contractual GDPR substance sits elsewhere, in the licence terms, which embed a data processing agreement based on Regulation (EU) 2016/679: the customer is the controller, Asseco Solutions the processor, transfers outside the EU require the controller's documented instruction, and breach notification is provided for. The declaration still cites Okresný súd Bratislava I as registry court where the register now shows Mestský súd Bratislava III, which suggests it has not been refreshed.
Who owns the data?
The cloud terms define the stored Data as data owned by the user and placed on the provider's server: Asseco Solutions supplies the infrastructure but claims no ownership over what the customer puts on it. Clause 6.7 makes the customer fully responsible for the content it stores. The licence terms restate the same split in GDPR language — the customer is the controller, Asseco Solutions the processor, acting only on the controller's documented instructions. Confidentiality obligations extend to the publisher's employees, subcontractors and cooperating third parties and survive the end of processing. One exception is worth knowing before signing: clause 17 lets the publisher cite the customer as a reference, using its trade name and logo on the website.
Reuse rights
Because the customer owns its data and acts as controller, it can export, reuse and delete its own records without asking the publisher for permission; nothing in the contract restricts what a business does with its own content. The publisher's own use is bounded: processing takes place solely to deliver the service, on documented instructions, through the operations listed in the licence terms — collection, recording, storage, erasure and so on — over a defined set of personal data categories, which for the QASIDA/HORECA scope extend as far as driving licence number and category. Backups of the data placed on the server are permitted. Transfers to a third country are possible only on the controller's documented instruction. No collected source mentions customer data being used to train AI models: there is neither a commitment not to, nor an opt-out.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
The cloud terms define the "Server" as a server operated by the provider, carrying the user's data and located in the European Union. That is the entirety of the published commitment: no country is named, no data centre is named, and no third-party hosting provider is named, so only the EU region is recorded and no hosting country is claimed. No list of subprocessors is published either — subcontractors appear solely in the confidentiality clauses. The terms otherwise describe a standard cloud arrangement in which servers, storage and software are supplied as a service and reached over the internet. One distinction matters: the marketing website itself resolves to an address operated by WebSupport s.r.o. in Bratislava, but that concerns the website, not the platform holding customer data, and nothing in the sources connects the two. On the legal side, the licence terms add a processing agreement under which transfers to a third country are possible only on the controller's documented instruction.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Qasida.
- Trusting the forecast blindly: however carefully the models handle seasonality, promotions and anomalies, a reorder point is a statistical recommendation, and a buyer who stops challenging it will eventually replenish the wrong item
- The company registration date of 12 December 1990, held under the former name DATALOCK a.s., describes the publisher and not the product: the asseco-qasida.com domain was only registered in September 2022 and first archived in September 2023
- Scope confusion: this listing covers Qasida, the ecosystem that is actually sold and priced, because the AI Platform on its own is a recommended accessory sitting outside the packages
- Prices that cannot be compared: the two "from" amounts carry no period, and clause 9.1 makes the contract price the binding one, so budget on a written quote and never on the web page
- The homepage banner promising "1 year FREE" publishes no conditions, no validity date and no outgoing link; it should not be confused with the contractual 30-day trial, still less with a free plan
- Data governance to verify yourself: the only published GDPR document is an employee notice, no subprocessor list exists, and no country or data centre is named behind the phrase "in the European Union"
- Ownership and channel: the registered shareholder is a legal person, Asseco Enterprise Solutions, a.s., with no individual beneficial owner published, and the CRM page mentions a mobile application without any App Store or Google Play link to support it
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Low on paper, moderate in practice. The publisher's argument is that a cloud ERP removes infrastructure work: no hardware and no IT team costs, just an internet connection, a "quick and easy implementation process", and automatic updates giving immediate access to new versions. In reality this is a contracted ERP project. Configuration is carried out with the publisher's consultants and solution architects, or with a third-party company; customisation goes through plugins and the API; back-office and front-end processes have to be modelled. Training, webinars and an Academy are offered alongside.

Should you pick Qasida?
Qasida is an established cloud ERP rather than a young AI product. Behind it stands Asseco Solutions, a publisher with more than 30 years of activity, 4,200 corporate customers and the backing of the international Asseco group — a profile that counts for more than usual in software a company will run its accounting, warehouse and payroll on. The ecosystem itself is coherent: an ERP core in two editions, six applications sharing the same master data, a properly versioned API, a marketplace of add-ons, and hosting inside the European Union.
The AI is real but narrow. The AI Platform forecasts inventory — ABC and XYZ classification, reorder points, safety stock, seasonality and promotion effects — and it does that job with genuine tooling. It is not a conversational assistant, and it is not included: the price list files it under recommended accessories, outside the packages, with no price of its own.
Pricing transparency is the weak point. Two tiers show a "from" amount, 3500 EUR and 5000 EUR, with no billing period attached in either the English or the Slovak version, and the terms state plainly that the price is the one agreed in the contract. Everything else is quoted. Add an English site that is only half translated, no public API documentation, and a GDPR declaration written for employees rather than customers, and the published surface asks for a little more trust than it demonstrates.
For a Slovak or Czech SME or mid-market company after an integrated, locally compliant cloud back office — retail, wholesale, e-commerce, manufacturing, services, rental or hospitality — Qasida is a serious candidate, best judged through the 30-day trial and a written quote. For anyone who wants to price it, sign up and start alone, it is not.
