What FasThink does

FasThink Srl is an Italian private software house, headquartered in Desio (MB) and operating as part of TXT Industrial — the industrial vertical of publicly listed TXT Group — that designs and sells software, hardware, and integration services for industrial data collection, identification, traceability, and automation. Its core product is Connect Orchestrator AI, a platform that bridges operational technology (OT) — including Pick2Light wireless picking, e-Kanban wireless sensors, RFID, AMR/AGV, ESL, BLE beacons, RTLS, PLC integration, and Voice Picking — with enterprise IT systems (ERP, WMS, MES), supporting bidirectional data flow, real-time monitoring, and AI-assisted process optimization. The YMS Yard Management System extends the portfolio into inbound/outbound transport logistics with AI modules for dock and route optimization.

The company monetizes through a combination of platform and module subscriptions, hardware sales, professional system-integration services, and managed services, priced per project rather than via public rate cards. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct with a technical sales team, supported by certified System Integrator partners and ecosystem alliances (Siemens Solution Partner, MADE Competence Center at Politecnico di Milano, Omron, HID, Zebra, Silicon Craft) and inclusion in TXT Group's SmartConnext / SmartLogix ecosystem. Customers are mid-to-large manufacturers across Automotive (Ferrari, Maserati, Ducati), Agricultural/Construction Equipment (CNH), Industrial (Leonardo, Tenaris, Danfoss, Silca, Still), Consumer Goods (Electrolux, Natuzzi, Cosmelux), Pharma (Medrop), and other sectors, deployed in Italy and selectively abroad.
