Futura

What Futura does

Futura S.r.l. is a privately held Italian system integrator founded in 1985 and headquartered in Gallarate, in the province of Varese. The company designs, installs, and maintains integrated technological systems spanning intrusion and fire detection (antifurto, antincendio with IRAI/EVAC and REI fire doors), civil and industrial automation (gates, barriers, doors, turnstiles via FAAC), centralized and cloud-based access control (FAAC Keydom, Simons Voss, HID Signo, PasSy), video surveillance (TVT systems and SELEA ANPR cameras for parking, traffic, and urban security), telecommunications (Vianova fixed/mobile connectivity, IP telephony, UCC, structured cabling), photovoltaic systems with EV charging, and ecological-platform access management using CRS regional service cards.

The technical proposition is integration rather than invention: Futura combines best-of-breed partner products into a single managed platform accessible via smartphone, with cloud-based credential management, remote monitoring, and 24/7 technical assistance for critical systems. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (IMQ) and maintains tiered partnerships with FAAC (Specialist), Ajax (Authorized), Cerbeyra (Gold), Vianova, HID, Simons Voss, TVT, and SELEA, providing it with cross-domain capability across physical security, cybersecurity, and connectivity.

The business model is project-based: revenue is generated from one-time turn-key installations, recurring post-sale maintenance and 24/7 technical support contracts, and resale of components and upgrades. Pricing is custom-quoted per project. Go-to-market combines a consultative direct sales team for both residential and commercial/industrial customers with a channel model including Consorzio Astro for national installation coverage. Direct service operations are concentrated in northern Italy; coverage beyond is delivered through the partner consortium.
