What eVISO does

eVISO S.p.A. (Euronext Growth Milan, ticker EVISO) is an Italian publicly-listed digital company headquartered in Saluzzo (Cuneo) that operates a proprietary artificial-intelligence platform built around three industrialized capabilities: Prediction, Execution, and Data-Driven Pricing. Founded in 2012/2013 by a group of energy-sector entrepreneurs and led by CEO Gianfranco Sorasio, the company applied its AI engine first to the Italian electricity commodity, leveraging data from Italy's 36 million digital electricity meters; the platform now generates 350+ million predictions per day across 26,000+ variables and has accumulated 33+ billion data points since inception. The AI engine underpins every downstream product, including eASY (customer self-service portal), CORTEX (reseller back-office with web and M2M API), SmartFaro (BI for multi-point energy portfolios), SmartMele (digital marketplace for apple forward contracts launched 2021) and Laiforms (AI-driven humanoid, quadruped and cleaning robots). On-premises NVIDIA DGX Spark infrastructure installed in November 2025 enables the company to run models up to 405 billion parameters locally without cloud dependency.

The company monetizes its platform through multiple revenue streams: electricity and gas retail supply to Italian SMEs, farms, stores, restaurants and households under the eVISO Luce e Gas brand (220,000+ direct utilities); wholesale energy supply plus technology subscriptions to 100+ Italian electricity/gas resellers via the CORTEX platform; marketplace commissions on SmartMele apple forward trading; BI subscriptions on SmartFaro; and direct sales of Laiforms robots via partners including ECOVACS, Unitree and DeepRobotics. Distribution is multi-layered: direct field sales and call-center service at Saluzzo HQ; a 100+ reseller B2B channel; a multi-mandate agency network covering ~90% of Italian national territory (formalized at the 1st National Agency Meeting, October 2025); and self-service digital portals. Pricing is quote-based for energy supply and undisclosed for reseller and BI subscriptions. The company reported cumulative turnover above €650 million over its first 10 years (2012/13–2023), a 66.9% CAGR over 2020–2023 per the Financial Times FT1000 2025 ranking (3rd Italian firm by revenue, 3rd in EU Energy segment, Top 10 in EU IT & Software), and +442.8% EBITDA growth per Milano Finanza, ranking 2nd among 20 Italian companies with the largest EBITDA expansion. Recognitions include six consecutive years on Il Sole 24 Ore/Statista's 'Leader della Crescita' (2021–2026), inclusion in TIME/Statista's World's Growth Leaders 2026, and a Cerved A2.2 rating placing it in the top 4% of financially solidest Italian companies.

Operationally, eVISO processes 2 million+ invoices per year, develops 3,000+ personalized commercial offers and dispatches 40,000+ personalized consumption suggestions per month. Its €12 million Center of Collective Intelligence (C•IN) in Saluzzo, inaugurated in 2024, functions as headquarters, training hub and event venue — including hosting the Giro d'Italia Women 2026 Gran Finale and the V Reseller Meeting (October 2025). The shareholder base exceeds 1,600 investors from 20+ countries, including pension funds and small-cap ETFs, and the Board introduced a post-listing 10X multi-vote share structure and stock option plan. The company has no parent, no controlling shareholder disclosed, and reports no acquired patents or published research, with strategic defensibility resting on the proprietary AI engine, the data flywheel, embedded reseller integrations and on-prem NVIDIA infrastructure.

Core offering

eVISO is a digital company that operates a proprietary artificial intelligence platform industrializing Prediction, Execution, and Data-Driven Pricing across commodity verticals. It sells electricity and gas to Italian SMEs, farms, stores, restaurants and households (eVISO Luce e Gas), provides its AI platform and CORTEX back-office tools wholesale to 100+ Italian electricity and gas resellers, runs the SmartMele marketplace for apple forward contracts, offers the SmartFaro BI platform for multi-point energy portfolios, and distributes Laiforms AI-powered robotics (humanoids, quadrupeds, drones, cleaning robots) to enterprises.

Product overview

eVISO operates as a digital company built around a single proprietary AI platform that it then exposes to recurring commodity users through a portfolio of named products and services. The core engine — the eVISO proprietary AI Platform — performs Prediction, Execution and Data Driven Pricing and powers every downstream product. Around this core, eVISO sells electricity and gas to end customers through "Energy for Direct Clients" (retail), enables resellers via "Energy for Reseller", exposes practice-management APIs and web through "CORTEX" (including M2M access for resellers), and provides a customer self-service portal in "eASY – My eVISO". The same engine is extended to other commodities through "SmartMele" (apple trading marketplace, launched February 2021) and "SmartFaro" (Business Intelligence for multi-point energy portfolios). The "Laiforms" line packages the platform as decision-intelligence software for digital life-forms (humanoids, quadrupeds, drones and Ecovacs-powered cleaning robots). Physical collaboration happens at the "Center of Collective Intelligence" (C•IN) in Saluzzo, and internal operations are increasingly automated — including an AI-based Cash-Flow Management Tool released in 2023 and on-premises NVIDIA DGX Spark infrastructure deployed in November 2025.
