What Acut does

Acut is an Italian software company headquartered in Brescia that has been developing ERP and business management software for over 45 years, specializing in serving technical companies — particularly installation firms (electrical, hydraulic, automation, air conditioning, security, telephone, and alternative energy) — that work on project-based jobs (commesse). The company's product portfolio centers on ACUT Impianti (vertical ERP for installation and maintenance firms), ACUT Erp (general-purpose modular ERP for manufacturing, commercial, service, IT, and nonprofit companies), and the newly launched ACUT Yama (a natively full web, scalable platform with REST API integration released in 2025). Supporting modules include ACUT App (mobile app for field technicians with work reports, geolocated time stamping, leave requests, and barcode-based picking), Business Intelligence, CRM/Contact Manager, CoGen accounting, ACUT Office Automation, Work Flow, and YouDox for electronic invoicing and digital preservation.

The underlying technology stack is a modular ERP architecture with integrations into Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, DocFinance (Italian treasury management), and YouDox, delivered as a managed cloud service accessible via web portal and mobile app. Acut operates through two related legal entities: ACUT Servizi Srl (the primary operating company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary ACUT Solutions Srl (software production and customization). The company employs 11-50 people and serves thousands of customers across Italy.

Acut's go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with prospective customers requesting free consultations through the website to identify the most suitable software solution. Revenue is generated through software licenses and subscriptions, customization services, training, and ongoing system assistance, targeting SMB and mid-market Italian technical companies. Distribution is domestic (Italy only), with marketing channels including content (blog, learning portal), email newsletter, and trade shows such as Fiera Sicurezza 2025. No external funding, M&A activity, or AI capabilities are disclosed.
