US Expand eway system

eWay System expanded into the US in 2022, establishing a presence in Kansas City with their CRM software for Microsoft Outlook. Their software helps companies organize emails, meetings, and tasks, enabling more efficient team collaboration.

 

The company has established itself in the local market, and we are pleased to have assisted them in various ways, including hiring their very first US employee, who remains with them to this day. “When I was firing the fifth employee, I knew I had to hire locally,” said Jan Lalinský, CEO, eWay System, explaining what led him to make his first US hire.

US Expand Pacellico

Pacellico expanded into the US in 2021, establishing a presence in Delaware. Pacellico is a consulting and advisory company that helps technologically advanced manufacturing businesses achieve transformation and improve performance in production, supply chains, and customer processes.

 

They acquired their very first client in the US, who insisted that business operations be conducted between two American entities with proper insurance and legal documentation.

 

We are pleased to have been able to assist with this, enabling Pacellico to secure the new client. “What was advantageous for us was the fact that Hydra Consulting is both a Czech and US entity, which built a great amount of trust between our teams,” says Lee Eden, Partner, Pacellico.

US Expand Radalytica

Radalytica expanded into the US in 2022 with their office located in Franklin, Texas. Radalytica is a provider of robotic imaging systems for non-destructive testing. The company expanded into the US with its unique RadalyX robotic system, which, through a combination of advanced imaging sensors and robotics, significantly enhances the effectiveness of imaging methods.

 

For Radalytica, it was mainly technological scouting that helped put the company on the map for US customers, bringing clients such as Boeing and Blue Origin into the fold. “I have to say that America has a very positive approach and drive towards new technologies and innovations,” says Jan Sohar, CEO, Radalytica.

 

However, he was surprised that this innovation is lacking in payment transactions. The company did not know what to do with their very first check for tens of thousands of dollars that showed up in Europe. Now, they know how to process it, and establishing a US entity was a big part of this solution.
