What Unitiva does

Unitiva (UNITIVA S.R.L.) is a privately held Italian IT services firm headquartered in Naples that designs, develops, and implements custom software, ERP, and digital transformation solutions primarily for Italian SMEs, enterprises, and public-sector clients. The company's core offering centers on Open Source technologies, with Odoo as the primary ERP platform alongside Python, React, Angular, Vue.js, Docker/Kubernetes, and Kafka-based architectures; it holds Odoo Gold Partner status and operates as a professional services firm across ERP implementation, custom application development, web and mobile development, system integration, UX/strategic design, and consulting. Its revenue model is project-based professional services with custom pricing per engagement, supported by an enterprise field sales motion that leverages published case studies and consulting partnerships rather than productized offerings.

The firm serves a diverse set of verticals — automotive (Honda), banking, energy (ENEA), chemicals (Lyondell Basell), food and beverage (Incal Agricola, Vestalia), life sciences and healthcare (Dedalus, InnovaVector, TIGEM), manufacturing, media, and public sector (ISPRA, Infratel Italia, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, European Environment Agency, Italian Red Cross) — with a cumulative base of approximately 390 clients, 200 completed projects, and a stated reach of 1.2 million end users across delivered solutions. Unitiva is differentiated by ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security), ISO 9001:2015 (quality), and UNI/PdR 125:2022 (gender equality) certifications, a published first Sustainability Report (2025) in partnership with Kyklos Carbon, and active R&D collaborations with universities and research centers focused on NLP, machine learning, deep learning, IoT, blockchain, and chatbots. The company remains founder-led (Rosario Savarese) with no disclosed external funding.
