What QGS does

QGS srl is an Italian information technology and consulting firm headquartered in Cesena with a secondary office in Florence, founded in 1984 and operating as a Microsoft Solutions Partner within the Quin Group ecosystem since the 2022 acquisition by Quin S.r.l. The company implements and supports Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central, Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing), Power Platform, Azure, Microsoft 365, and Copilot for mid-market and enterprise clients, primarily in the Italian agrifood (ortofrutta, dairy, apiculture, bioenergy) and manufacturing sectors. Its proprietary product, Navgreen, is a sector-specific ERP extension built on Dynamics 365 Business Central for the fruit and vegetable supply chain, with modules covering quality management, operational planning, and business intelligence. QGS also markets a consumer-facing AI product (ALDO) for large-scale retail fresh produce departments and provides custom Smart Factory solutions integrating ERP, MES, and AI agents for industrial clients.

QGS generates revenue from three streams: professional services for Dynamics 365 / Power Platform implementation and digital transformation consulting, ongoing managed services and support retainers, and custom development for smart factory and AI agent projects (project-milestone or fixed-price). Pricing is bespoke and quoted per engagement with no publicly disclosed list rates. The go-to-market is consultative field sales targeting enterprise accounts, supplemented by an inside-sales motion for mid-market clients and a bidirectional referral motion with Quin Group. Demand generation is anchored by the Radici magazine and the Radici Incontra event series at venues including Macfrut, BI-REX Competence Center, MADE Competence Center, and Confindustria Udine, which double as content marketing and lead-generation assets. Key customers include Melinda, TreValli Cooperlat, Conapi/Mielizia, Latteria Soresina, Granfrutta Zani, Fattorie Garofalo, B&C Speakers, and Gruppo Ayrion. QGS maintains 101-250 employees and is privately held with €440,000 stated share capital, with no disclosed revenue or external funding.

Direct peers
