What Gbsoftware does

GBsoftware S.p.A. is an Italian vertical software house founded in 2004 by Dott. Commercialista Guido Bagiacchi and Fiorella Migliorati, operating from Montone and Roma with engineering roots in Pietralunga, Umbria. The company develops a modular suite of management software products targeting Italian accounting, tax, labor, and legal-audit professionals, with the flagship product INTEGRATO GB integrating accounting, invoicing, electronic filing, balance sheet preparation (XBRL), payroll, legal audit, anti-money laundering, crisis management, and tax declarations in a single workflow database. Adjacent products include PAGHE GB (payroll for labor consultants), REVISIONE LEGALE GB (legal audit), FATTURE GB (electronic invoicing), BILANCIO EUROPEO GB, GESTIONE SOCIETÀ GB, and the AI assistant Guido IA Pro. Underlying infrastructure includes GB inWeb (a web collaboration platform connecting studios with their SME clients), GB Cloud (managed hosting), and native integrations with the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), SDI for electronic invoicing, NSO for healthcare orders, and XBRL filing.

The business is monetized through monthly and annual subscription licenses priced per module and per entity count, with entry-level tiers starting around €79-€96/month and full-suite packages reaching €649/year for balance-sheet modules. Distribution is exclusively direct via the company's website, with no agents, resellers, or call centers — a model the company claims yields approximately one-third cost savings versus competitors and supports fixed pricing for the first three years. Customer segments are Commercialisti, Tributaristi, Consulenti del Lavoro, Revisori Legali, CEDs, and corporate clients (SRL/SPA), with the company serving 4,000+ active studios across Italy. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (free 15-day full-feature trials), professional training (Master GB academy offering 78 CFP credits), content marketing, podcast/webinar channels, and association partnerships (LAPET, INT, UNITI, Finanza & Fisco) offering 15-20% member discounts. The company is founder/family-controlled, private, bootstrapped, and operates exclusively in Italy.
