AI-First ERP for Italian SMEs

Cloud-native ERP featuring automated XML invoice extraction, conversational AI database queries, and EU-compliant multi-language documentation

The Challenge

Italian small-to-medium enterprises operate within a complex ecosystem of:

  • XML invoices (FatturaPA format) required by law
  • F24 tax payments with strict deadlines
  • Bank statement reconciliation
  • Multi-language documentation requirements for EU compliance

Traditional ERPs treat AI as an afterthought — a bolt-on feature rather than a core capability. This means SME owners still spend hours on administrative tasks that could be automated.

What We Built

We designed a cloud-native ERP from the ground up with AI at its core. Rather than adding AI capabilities to existing workflows, we reimagined how an ERP should work when intelligent automation is the default.

The system unifies document processing and financial operations into a single, AI-powered platform.

Key AI Capabilities

Smart Document Extraction

The system automatically extracts structured data from FatturaPA XML invoices:

  • Supplier and customer information
  • Line items with quantities and prices
  • Tax calculations and payment terms
  • Automatic categorization and booking

Conversational Database Queries

Business owners can query their data in natural language:

“Show me all unpaid invoices from the last 3 months” “What was our revenue from client X this year?” “Which suppliers have the longest payment terms?”

The AI translates these questions into database queries and presents results in an understandable format.

Multi-Language Documentation

Using DeepL integration, the system generates EU-compliant documentation in multiple languages:

  • Automatic translation of invoices and contracts
  • Consistent terminology across languages
  • Compliance with EU documentation requirements

Requirements Intelligence

The system tracks and traces requirements throughout the business process:

  • Links requirements to implementation
  • Maintains audit trails
  • Ensures regulatory compliance

Results

The AI-first approach delivered measurable improvements:

  • Reduced administrative time — Automated document processing eliminates manual data entry
  • Improved business visibility — Natural language queries make data accessible to non-technical users
  • EU compliance — Multi-language documentation meets regulatory requirements
  • Faster decision making — Real-time insights replace monthly report cycles
