TU Network

What TU Network does

TU Network Srl is an Italian software company headquartered in Forlimpopoli, with a registered office in Falconara Marittima, that builds and sells TU Software, a cloud-based, modular ERP system targeted at transport, logistics, and service-cooperative operators in Italy. The platform is multi-company and multi-exercise, integrating warehouse logistics, fleet management, transport operations, human resources, accounting with electronic invoicing, distribution, shipments, and rentals within a single database layer; specialized modules include Geo (route optimization powered by PTV technology), TU Fleet (GPS fleet monitoring developed with Eteria), and YouMove (corporate car sharing). Native iOS and Android applications extend the product to drivers, warehouse operators, and field staff, and a webservices API supports import/export of shipments.

The company was founded around 2000 and has served Italian small, medium, and large enterprises for over 20 years, accumulating a base of named mid-market customers such as Ciav Trans, FMT, Jacotrans, Mavisped, NTL Express, and Bilancini, plus individual operators in Verbania, Alessandria, and La Spezia who have been partners for many years and in some cases co-designed the software. Revenue is generated through licensing and subscription of the modular ERP, complemented by customization and professional services, with pricing determined through a consultative sales process anchored by a free demo request and a 'personalize the software' inquiry; multi-year contracts are typical.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct, with inside sales for mid-market accounts, enterprise field sales for larger logistics and cooperative operators, and a vertical channel play for GLS franchisees in Italy; marketing relies on a content-driven website with a digitalization e-book, blog posts, and an active LinkedIn and Facebook presence. The company is privately held, organized as an Srl with €10,000 share capital, has no disclosed institutional investors, and operates with a small (1-10) employee team based on the firmographics provided.
