Resco

Resco, formally Resco spol. s r.o., is a software company headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia. The company was established in 1999 by Radomir Vozar, Eduard Kirchner, and Marcel Saffa. Its name is derived from the phrase “REmote Solutions COmpany,” reflecting an early emphasis on remote-access and mobile computing solutions. Resco initially built its reputation in the personal digital assistant and early smartphone software market. Its development work focused on Palm OS, Pocket PC Standard, Pocket PC Professional, and related Windows Mobile environments. Products from this period included Resco Explorer, Resco Photo Viewer, Resco Radio, and Resco Audio Recorder. Several of these applications received recognition from specialist personal digital assistant publications, including Pocket PC Magazine. The company also entered the Symbian software market in 2004 with Resco Photo Viewer for Symbian 6.1. The Symbian product line continued through later platform releases, with the final referenced version being Photo Viewer 6.0 for Symbian 9.x in 2010. The rapid growth of Android and other newer mobile platforms led Resco to redirect its product strategy. Development for several earlier platforms was discontinued, and in late 2010 the company introduced Resco Radio for Android and Windows Phone 7. This transition marked a move away from a portfolio of consumer-oriented mobile utilities toward software designed for modern mobile operating systems and business use. In 2013, Resco established Resco.net, Inc., a United States subsidiary. During the same period it introduced Resco Advantage, a standalone mobile customer relationship management product later renamed Resco CRM. The product represented a significant strategic shift toward enterprise software, particularly mobile CRM and applications supporting organizations whose employees work away from a desk. Resco’s later positioning has centered on mobile business applications and software for field-based operations rather than on the legacy PDA utilities that established its early name. According to the referenced company history, Resco had expanded its customer base to more than one million users and approximately 4,000 corporations by 2014. These figures are historical and should not be treated as current operating metrics. The company has also undergone several leadership transitions. Co-founder Radomir Vozar served as chief executive before handing the role to Miro Pomsar in July 2019. Andrew Lorraine became chief executive in May 2022, and Resco announced Ivan Stano as CEO in August 2025. Resco is therefore best understood as a Slovak enterprise-software brand with roots in mobile utility applications. Its historical development follows the wider evolution of mobile computing: from Palm and Windows Mobile handhelds, through Symbian and early smartphone platforms, to Android, Windows Phone, and mobile CRM solutions for corporate users. Publicly available reference material identifies the company’s headquarters, founders, product evolution, subsidiary formation, and leadership changes, but does not provide sufficiently current information about ownership, revenue, present employee count, or a definitive corporate website.

Resco was founded in Bratislava in 1999 by Radomir Vozar, Eduard Kirchner, and Marcel Saffa. The company name is explained as an abbreviation of “REmote Solutions COmpany.” Its original business was shaped by the early mobile-computing ecosystem, when personal digital assistants and handheld computers were important platforms for software distribution. During its first phase, Resco developed applications for Palm OS and Microsoft’s Pocket PC environments, including both Standard and Professional editions that later became associated with Windows Mobile. The product portfolio included file management, image viewing, radio, and audio-recording utilities. Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Viewer were among the better-known products from this period, while Resco Radio and Resco Audio Recorder extended the company’s range into media applications. The company’s applications received recognition from specialist PDA publications, including Pocket PC Magazine, helping establish its reputation among early mobile-software users. Resco broadened its platform coverage in 2004 by releasing Resco Photo Viewer for Nokia’s Symbian OS 6.1. The Symbian product line remained available through subsequent operating-system versions, with the last referenced release being Photo Viewer 6.0 for Symbian 9.x in 2010. This period represented the final stage of Resco’s broad support for several legacy handheld platforms. The emergence of Android and other new smartphone platforms in 2009 and 2010 prompted a major strategic change. Resco discontinued development for four of its former mobile platforms and began targeting newer operating systems. By the end of 2010 it had released Resco Radio for Android and Windows Phone 7. The move reflected the consolidation of mobile software around newer smartphone ecosystems and marked a transition from specialist PDA utilities toward contemporary smartphone applications. Resco entered a more explicitly enterprise-oriented phase in 2013. It launched Resco.net, Inc. as a United States subsidiary and introduced Resco Advantage, a standalone mobile customer relationship management product later renamed Resco CRM. This product broadened the company’s focus from individual mobile utilities to software used by businesses and mobile workforces. Resco’s stated customer expansion by 2014 included more than one million users and about 4,000 corporations, although those figures are historical and no current equivalent is established by the supplied references. Leadership changed several times after the enterprise transition. Miro Pomsar became CEO in July 2019, taking over from co-founder Radomir Vozar. Andrew Lorraine became CEO in May 2022. In August 2025, Resco announced the appointment of Ivan Stano as CEO. The available reference material does not establish further details about ownership, revenue, present corporate structure, or current product availability. Resco’s documented history nevertheless shows a clear evolution from early handheld software to mobile enterprise applications and CRM.
