Vidiemme Consulting Srl

What Vidiemme Consulting Srl does

Vidiemme Consulting Srl is an Italian digital innovation consulting firm headquartered in Milan, founded on April 16, 2004 by Luca Valsecchi and five co-founders. The firm designs and builds custom digital projects for medium and large enterprises — spanning web and mobile development, conversational AI and voice assistants, blockchain-based supply chain traceability (built on Polygon), headless CMS implementations (using Storyblok), and system integration. Its primary verticals are Retail/Fashion/Luxury, Pharma/Healthcare, and Finance/Banking, with named clients including Adidas, Luxottica, AC Milan, Roche, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, Takeda, London Stock Exchange, Unilever, Whirlpool, Eni Gas e Luce, Banca Sella, and Gruppo Mondadori.

The business is professional services-led: each engagement is custom-scoped, custom-priced, and delivered under multi-year contracts with no standardized SaaS product offering or publicly disclosed pricing. Vidiemme distributes through direct enterprise sales and channel partners, and maintains a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, VDM Labs (San Francisco, est. 2015), as a Silicon Valley technology scouting and business development outpost. The company employs 100+ professionals and operates an internal R&D lab (est. 2014).

Since February 2020, Vidiemme has been wholly owned by BIP Group, a multinational consulting firm controlled by Apax Partners, and now operates as part of "BIP Red," a Creative Technology Studio combining BIP's consulting, Sketchin's experience design, and Vidiemme's technology development capabilities. The firm is recognized by Gartner as a Top 20 Representative Global Vendor for Conversational AI (2022). FY2021 revenue was €9,405,064 (26.5% YoY growth), following €6.5M in FY2019.
