EMAX

What EMAX does

Emax Srl Società Benefit is an Italian vertical software company founded in 2009 in Orsago (Treviso) by Max Ferracin and Silvia Boscheratto, focused on digitizing the management of contracts (commesse) and dispersed external field teams for regulated industries. Its flagship platform, Collavoro, is a cloud-based suite integrating a back-office administrative module (Gestionale), a mobile field-operator app (Team) with geolocation, an inspection/audit tool (Safe), a training-deadlines module (Class), attendance tracking (Check in Check out), and a virtual construction-site module (Cantieri virtuali). The platform is offered as vertical-specialized editions — Collavoro Green (landscaping), Collavoro Road (infrastructure maintenance), and Collavoro Door (installation/maintenance of doors, shutters and infissi) — and is positioned to help clients score higher in Italian public-procurement tenders (bandi e gare) by serving as a "miglioria" in the technical section. A flagship enterprise reference is Enel Distribuzione S.p.A., with additional reach into construction, installation/maintenance, landscaping, RSPP/HSE, and public-administration segments via partners AssoBIM, Assoverde and Phacelia. In 2025 Emax expanded its product surface with a RENTRI outsourcing service and the E-Trace mobile app (AI-assisted waste-form digitization) ahead of the February 2026 RENTRI electronic-register mandate, and made its first international appearance at Myplant & Garden Middle East in Dubai.

The company monetizes Collavoro primarily through recurring software subscriptions distributed via the "Profilo" customer portal, complemented by managed services (RENTRI outsourcing bundled with IC Outsourcing and InfoCamere) and professional services for customization, training (Emax Academy) and ongoing support. Go-to-market is sales-led with inside-sales support, anchored by a content-led marketing engine (active blog, recurring free webinars via HubSpot) and a heavy presence at Italian industry trade fairs (SAIE, MADE Expo, Green Med, Asphaltica) plus the new Dubai event. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospects are routed through a "Contatti commerciali" form to a commercial manager (Federico Michelon) for personalized quotes. Emax operates under a robust compliance posture — Società Benefit (since 27 November 2023), Modello 231 (since 2021), ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, D.Lgs. 24/2023 whistleblowing via MyGovernance, GDPR with an appointed DPO — which doubles as a sales asset in regulated verticals. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed external investors and no parent company, and reports no public revenue figures.

Core offering

Emax develops and sells Collavoro, a cloud-based platform for the end-to-end management of contracts (commesse) and external/field work activities. The platform includes a back-office module (Gestionale), a field mobile app (Team), an inspection/audit tool (Safe), training-deadline tracking (Class), check-in/check-out (Check in Check out), and virtual construction sites (Cantieri virtuali), offered in vertical variants for energy, construction, road, green/landscaping, and door/installation sectors.

Product overview

Emax Srl Società Benefit offers a unified software suite organized around its flagship platform Collavoro - the "intelligent way to manage projects" for contracts and external team work (gestione di commesse e lavori in esterna). Collavoro is a platform-plus-modules architecture: the back-office administrative core is Gestionale, supported in the field by the Team mobile app (Team App), the Safe inspection/audit module (desktop + Android/iOS), the Class training-deadlines module, the Check in Check out attendance module, and the Cantieri virtuali module. This core is offered as sector-specialized variants: Collavoro Road (road and infrastructure maintenance), Collavoro Green (green-space and landscape companies) and Collavoro Door (installation/maintenance of doors, shutters and infissi). On top of this, Emax provides Emax per bandi e gare as a tender-readiness solution package, and the standalone E-Trace mobile app plus RENTRI outsourcing service for Italian electronic waste-tracking compliance. The suite targets energy-sector consortia, construction firms, installation/maintenance companies, landscaping firms, RSPP/HSE managers and public administrations, with Enel Distribuzione SPA as a flagship reference.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• TeamSystem: Largest Italian SMB business-software provider, offering ERP, HR, payroll and vertical solutions across construction, services and manufacturing. Comparable as an Italian SMB software incumbent targeting overlapping verticals, with greater scale and breadth.
• Zucchetti: Major Italian software house with HR, payroll, ERP and vertical solutions including construction/installation modules. Closest large Italian software peer in addressing SMB operational workflows similar to those served by Collavoro.

Others

• monday.com: Work- and project-management platform used across operations, construction and field-team workflows. Adjacent competitor for low-end Collavoro-style job tracking and team coordination, though lacking Emax's vertical compliance depth.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Global construction-management platform offering project management, field productivity, quality/safety and pre-construction tools at much larger scale. Overlaps Collavoro/Cantieri virtuali for construction-site coordination but addresses a broader enterprise audience.
• Salesforce Field Service: Enterprise field-service module within the Salesforce CRM platform, covering dispatch, mobile workforce, scheduling and asset management. Comparable in capabilities to Collavoro's Gestionale/Team stack but embedded in a much broader enterprise ecosystem.

Direct peers

• FieldAware: Field-service management software targeting mid-market service organizations with work-order, scheduling, mobile and asset-tracking modules. Comparable to Collavoro's field-team operations suite in scope and deployment model.
• Buildertrend: Construction project management SaaS for residential builders and remodelers, covering scheduling, jobs, customer communication and field documentation. Overlaps with the Collavoro platform on construction-site coordination and is the closest comparable in the construction vertical.
• ServiceM8: Field-service management platform for trades and small contractors, with mobile app, job tracking, quoting and checklists. Closely mirrors Collavoro's Team/Safe functionality for SMB field crews, with a similar vertical-SaaS GTM.
• ServiceTitan: US-based vertical SaaS platform for trade and field-service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction). Directly comparable to Emax in delivering an integrated operations suite — job scheduling, mobile field app, inspections, dispatch, and reporting — for external field teams, though at significantly larger scale.
• Jobber: Field-service management SaaS for small home-service businesses (landscaping, HVAC, cleaning, installation). Closely aligned with Collavoro Green/Door in target customer, subscription revenue model, and mobile field-team workflow.
