Our story

We started
with a different dream.

UFOSOFT was born from a desire to do things differently — and also from a dream of building our own RTS strategy game. Tired of the corporate world, we decided to forge our own path.

We started out as software developers and testers working for various companies. The turning point came with the arrival of a new CTO — his industrial knowledge and experience opened entirely new doors. We decided to focus on manufacturing companies and their real-world challenges.

Today we develop our own products, iQfix and iQtrack, which are transforming the day-to-day operations of manufacturing facilities — from fault reporting to real-time machine monitoring.

Our values

What defines us.

We're more than a software vendor. We're a partner who stands behind the outcome.

Honesty and straight talk

We tell it like it is. If something won't work, we say so early — not after the invoice.

Accountability for outcomes

We don't walk away at handover. We care that the system works in real production — not just in a demo environment.

Continuous learning

Industry and technology move fast. We follow trends, test new approaches, and bring them into our products.

Team

The people behind UFOSOFT.

A small team where everyone plays an important role. No anonymous hierarchy.

I operate at the intersection of development, automation, business, and industry — always looking for ways to do things smarter, simpler, and more effectively.
Jan Founě
Bc. Jan Founě
CEO & founder
I see technology as a tool, not an end in itself. I enjoy building things that have a real impact — from application development to connecting software with production, machines, and operational data.

I'm drawn to projects with a clear direction and a long-term idea behind them. Outside of tech, I enjoy RTS strategy games, airsoft, sport, films, and the world of sci-fi and fantasy. Most important to me is time spent with my family.
I actively work to connect mechanical engineering, quality management, industrial engineering, software development, and strategic business and financial management.
Jakub Chán
Ing. Jakub Chán
CTO & developer
These are fields I have dedicated years of study and professional work to — and it was only when combined with software development that everything naturally fell into place.

Years spent in the automotive industry gave me the patience to build deep knowledge of effective data management, processes, and the real needs of manufacturing. In my spare time I'm a quiz enthusiast, numismatist, traveller, and lover of the outdoors.
I enjoy finding simple, functional, and sustainable solutions that bridge software, technology, and real-world practice.

Full-stack developer
The projects that mean the most to me are those where technology genuinely makes people's work easier, brings clarity to processes, and helps things run more efficiently.

In my free time I like to step away from the digital world — into the workshop, nature, sport, or good company with friends or my menagerie of animals. I enjoy discovering new things, thinking about how they work, and occasionally switching off from technology altogether. Balance between work and personal life matters a great deal to me.
