Manufacturing software
for the shop floor.

We come from one of Europe's densest manufacturing regions, where we build software for machinery makers and component suppliers. The problems are the same in Ohio and in Treviso: quotes that take days, production data on paper, quality documents in folders. We build the tools that fix that.

What we build

From the quote
to the shipped part

01

Quoting and configurators

Product rules, options and pricing in a tool sales and dealers use, turning two-day quotes into two-minute ones.

02

Shop-floor tracking

Work orders, operations, time, scrap and machine status on tablets at each station, feeding live dashboards.

03

Quality and documents

Inspection records, nonconformances, PPAP and certificates by part and customer, with revisions and audit trail.

04

Maintenance

Preventive schedules by date or machine hours, work requests with photos, spare parts and history.

05

Dealer and distributor portals

Orders, price lists, documents and warranty claims your partners handle themselves.

06

ERP extensions

Keep your ERP and add what it lacks: a usable interface for the floor, mobile access, reports people read.

The reality

Your ERP is not
the problem. The gaps are.

Most manufacturers already have an ERP. What they lack is everything around it: the shop floor still runs on paper travelers, quotes live in a spreadsheet only one person understands, and quality records sit in binders.

Filling those gaps with focused tools connected to the ERP is faster and far cheaper than replacing the ERP — and it is what actually changes the numbers.

We design for the floor: big screens, few taps, badge or PIN login, and nothing that slows an operator down.

How we build it

One problem at a time,
with a measured payback

The first stage goes after the largest waste — often quoting or production tracking — and goes live in four to eight weeks. We measure the result before the next stage.

We integrate with common ERPs through their APIs or database exports: Epicor, SAP Business One, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, JobBOSS and others.

Custom software starts from €1,500 for a focused first stage, with a fixed price per stage.

How we work

Fixed price,
no surprises.

  1. Free 30-minute callWhat you sell, who to, and what the site or software has to do. No sales deck. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that you need less than you thought.
  2. Fixed-price quoteOne figure in writing, covering everything needed to go live. It does not move mid-project: anything you add later is quoted separately, and only if you ask.
  3. Built in stagesYou see something usable within the first weeks, then every week after. Corrections happen during the build, not in a big review at the end.
  4. Launch and afterGo-live, checks, training for your team. Maintenance is optional — you are not locked in, and the domain, accounts and source code are in your company's name.

FAQ

The questions we always get.

Can you collect data directly from machines?

When machines expose data through standard protocols, yes; otherwise operators log events on tablets in a few taps.

Can you build a configurator for complex products?

Yes, with rules for valid combinations, pricing and generated documents — often the highest-return tool for engineered products.

Which ERPs do you integrate with?

Most mainstream ones with an API or reliable export. We check yours before quoting.

How much does a website cost?

A company website costs €350 one-off, plus €150 if you want the initial optimization for Google and Bing, or €24.80 a month with hosting, domain, maintenance and content changes included on a 24-month minimum term. Web apps start at €50 a month or €750 one-off; custom business software starts at €1,500. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a free analysis.

Will we own the website and the code?

Yes. On the one-off option the domain, hosting, content and source code are registered in your company's name from go-live, and the code lives in your repository. There is no license tied to us and no lock-in.

Do we pay VAT or sales tax on your invoice?

Our invoices to US businesses are issued without Italian VAT, because business services sold outside the EU are not subject to it, and as a foreign service provider we do not add US sales tax. Your accountant will confirm how to record it on your side — it is a standard cross-border arrangement.

Got a project in the US?

Thirty minutes on a video call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live. If we are not the right fit, we tell you that too.
