Netribe Group

What Netribe Group does

Netribe Group is a privately held Italian ICT company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Reggio Emilia, organized as an S.r.l. with five wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — Netribe Business Solutions, Iperutility, Netribe Systems Integration, Ict Consult, and Netribe Ultra. The group sells vertical software suites, IT infrastructure services, and systems integration to Italian public utilities (water, gas, electricity, waste) and industrial companies, with over 30 years of accumulated domain expertise. Acquisition history includes Iperutility joining the group in 2019 and Elefondati Srl being acquired by Netribe Systems Integration in July 2024.

The company’s core platform is the Gridway Suite — a modular set of solutions for water management, power and gas distribution, and waste management — built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and supplemented by the Mendix low-code platform for custom application development. A second line, EasyGo, delivers vertical software for industrial sales, maintenance, and nautical boatyard management, while a third, FlexSI, packages IT infrastructure services (VDI, backup, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, risk assessment). Product additions in 2024-2025 include the Water Management Suite (co-developed with ABB and DHI for PNRR-funded water loss reduction), GRIDWAY PSA for water-safety compliance under D.Lgs. 18/2023 and EU Directive 2020/2184, Griddie (an AI virtual agent for utility customer service), Gridway Smart Meter Manager, Gridway Planner, Gridway Portal, the Netribe AI division, and Cove Data Protection. Certifications include ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and GDPR compliance; partner tier status includes Microsoft Top Partner Category Italy (2025) and Mendix Platinum Partner (2024).

Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting Italian utility operators and industrial companies, layered with participation in trade events (Ecomondo, Accadueo, Aquality Forum, European Utility Week), webinars, and a NIS2 Talks content series. Revenue is generated across four streams: software licensing and subscriptions (Gridway, EasyGo, FlexSI, Dynamics 365, Mendix), professional services for implementation and digital-transformation advisory, managed services through Netribe Systems Integration, and hardware resale through partnerships with Huawei, Fortinet, Lenovo, Veeam, and Cove. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and there are no public funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent-company ownership structures identified.
