What Nts Project does

NTS Project SpA is an Italian enterprise software company headquartered in Bastia Umbra (Perugia), Umbria, founded in 1994 as TecnoNET and rebranded under its current name in 2005 when NTS Informatica acquired a stake. The company operates as the implementation and customization partner within the Gruppo Ranocchi ecosystem, which also includes NTS Informatica (the software factory developing the Business Cube ERP core), Ranocchi Software (vertical applications for accountants and payroll studios), and Elmec Informatica (a €100M+ revenue enterprise contributing two data centers). NTS Project reported €8 million in 2024 revenue and employs 70+ people across four Italian offices (Bastia Umbra, Varese, Brescia, Turin), serving over 1,400 Italian enterprise customers with 1,000+ completed projects in its 30-year history. Share capital stands at €1,076,000 following a March 2023 transformation to S.p.A. with capital increase.

The company's product portfolio centers on a proprietary Microsoft .NET-based ERP ecosystem comprising Business Cube (foundational ERP), Business Experience (next-generation ERP launched in 2024 with AI integration, workflow automation, and native Microsoft 365/Azure integration), and an array of add-on modules including YDEA cloud CRM suite, IDW business intelligence on Microsoft Power BI, Business File document management, GOW B2B e-commerce, Our Space digital workspace, Our Whistleblowing, Akademy training management, Exhibite museum/exhibition management, and WooConnector+ for WooCommerce integration. The stack supports both on-premise and SaaS deployment and integrates with Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Workspace, CRIBIS D&B, and Italian SDI electronic invoicing infrastructure. AI capabilities are delivered through the AI Lab services division and the AI Search NLP engine (launched 2025), covering generative AI, NLP, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and process automation. Digital marketing and web services are delivered through the NTS Digital division, created in January 2024 via the acquisition of Weblive.

Revenue is generated through a mix of ERP software licenses and SaaS subscriptions (recurring), annual maintenance and support contracts, custom software development projects (one-time/perpetual), AI Lab professional services, and NTS Digital web/marketing project engagements. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales supported by field sales teams, project managers, and inside sales via website demo and consultation requests, with the NTS Group reseller network distributing Business Cube/Experience ERP nationally. The company holds ISO 9001 (since 2000), ISO/IEC 27001 (renewed to April 2028), and CRIBIS Prime Company certifications, and addresses Italian regulatory complexity in electronic invoicing, VAT, withholding taxes, GDPR, and AGID digital accessibility as a core differentiator versus non-Italian ERP vendors.
