ASAC

What ASAC does

ASAC srl, operating as ASAC – Tech Partners, is an Italian private limited company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Cessalto (Treviso). The company designs and produces professional handheld devices and full-stack digital and electronic solutions, with a focus on three application areas: food service management, IoT, and traceability. Its core offering is a proprietary radiofrequency system (NOR20 and NOR 24-2 antennas, Typhoon module, and the patented Caddy Wave RF cover for Android terminals) that provides stable connectivity up to 250 metres in environments where Wi-Fi coverage is weak. The company monetizes through custom product development (hardware, software, firmware, prototyping), one-time software licenses for its Caddy 4R restaurant management system, Takeaway pizzeria management software, and Caddy Dashboard analytics module, alongside hardware sales of antennas and modules, IoT managed services, and corporate training.

ASAC's go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, structured around initial meetings, needs assessment, proposals, NDAs, and execution, with lead generation supported by trade-fair presence at MECSPE and HORECA NEXT. The customer base is concentrated in Italy and described as 'hundreds of restaurants' across hospitality, with additional adjacent work in IoT device integration and goods traceability across waste management, logistics, and industrial processes. The company is family-owned (Miotto family since 2001), employs approximately 12 people, and maintains a small share capital of €140,000 fully paid. Recent strategic activity includes the 2025 Caddy Wave patent grant, the 2026 launch of ASAC Z for industrial RF, the INEST 2023-funded 'Farm to Twin to Fork' digital twin portal, a January 2025 rebrand, and the opening of a 200m2 in-house prototyping and collaboration space. ASAC also funds PhD research in Explainable AI at the University of Trieste and is a Gold Partner of its Data Science and AI ecosystem, indicating applied research depth in XAI and digital twin technologies.

• TouchBistro: POS and restaurant management platform purpose-built for hospitality operators. Directly comparable to ASAC's Caddy 4R and TakeAway stack, serving the same end customer with order, kitchen, and payment workflows.
• Lightspeed Restaurant: Cloud-based restaurant POS and management system with strong European presence. Comparable to ASAC's Caddy 4R in target market and feature scope, though at much larger scale.
• Bixolon: Manufacturer of receipt and mobile POS printers, including wireless models. Comparable to ASAC's RF printer-conversion (Typhoon module) and handheld-terminal hardware business.
• Zettle by PayPal: POS and payments solution for small hospitality and retail merchants. Competes with ASAC's Caddy 4R at the small-business end of the Italian restaurant market.

Broad incumbents

• Advantech: Global industrial IoT and embedded computing hardware manufacturer. Comparable to ASAC's edge electronics and IoT device business, with much broader product breadth and geographic reach.
• Digi International: Established provider of IoT connectivity hardware (gateways, modems, RF modules). Comparable to ASAC's NOR20/NOR 24-2 antennas and Typhoon modules, but serving a broader industrial IoT portfolio.
