GSoftware

What GSoftware does

GSoftware (Gsoftware srl, P. IVA 14032041007) is an Italian software house founded in 2012 that operates simultaneously as a custom software development services provider and as an independent publisher of consumer and B2B mobile applications. The company serves Italian small and mid-sized businesses through project-based bespoke engagements and reaches end consumers through nine live apps on the major app stores, with a combined footprint exceeding one million downloads. Its portfolio spans traditional Italian card games (Scopa, which alone accounts for 700K+ downloads with a 4.2 rating across 5,418 reviews, plus Burraco, Briscola, Tresette, and AssoPigliaTutto), lifestyle apps (Rosarium), and a growing AI-enabled suite covering Roma Explorer, Anzio Explorer, NutriApp, and Menu→QR.

The technical stack is centered on Python and Google Cloud Platform, integrating Google Gemini and Vertex AI large language models, Firebase for backend and data services, LangChain for orchestration, Ollama for on-premise model execution, Cloud Run for serverless compute, and Flutter for cross-platform mobile delivery. AI capabilities extend across computer vision (meal recognition, menu parsing), retrieval-augmented generation over document corpora, autonomous agents, process automation, and generative AI, and are deployed both inside proprietary products and as part of client-facing custom builds. This dual capability set allows GSoftware to monetize AI through both shipping products and delivering AI-engineering services to third parties.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) professional services revenue from custom software development engagements priced on a project basis; (2) consumer mobile app revenue from one-time licenses, in-app advertising, and in-app purchases across the card-game and lifestyle portfolio; and (3) recurring subscription revenue from Menu→QR, the restaurant menu digitization service. The company does not disclose revenue, headcount, funding history, named customer logos, management team details, partnerships, awards, or M&A activity, and operates as a privately held, bootstrapped entity without a disclosed parent company or external institutional investors.
