What Licon Software does

Licon Software is a privately held Italian software company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Treviolo (Bergamo), Italy. It develops and sells UNO, an integrated ERP system designed for Italian construction companies and project-based enterprises (lavori su commessa). The platform is modular, with ten functional areas covering accounting, treasury and finance, analytics and warehouse, production and planning, commercial, safety and quality, payroll, real estate, document archiving, and digital preservation. A web-based companion platform, UNOweb, provides browser-based and mobile access with real-time data synchronization to the core UNO installation and is positioned as architecturally prepared for future AI integrations.

The company generates revenue through software licensing and subscription fees for the UNO platform and its modules, supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and ongoing support. Distribution is direct: enterprise field sales via the company website, consultation through a contact form with role-based routing, and dedicated regional phone support lines segmented by software area (administrative, production, payroll). Marketing is grounded in webinars, blog content covering Italian labor law updates, an active social media presence, and trade show participation at events such as SAIE Bologna.

Licon serves hundreds of Italian construction and contracting companies, with named customers including long-standing firms such as Sangalli, Schiavi, Facchetti Costruzioni, Rebaioli, Ferretti Casa, Roncelli Group, and At Group. The company emphasizes Italian regulatory specialization — INPS/INAIL compliance, CCNL union contracts, SOA public tender management, and substitute document conservation — as its core differentiator. In August 2023, Licon was registered as an Industry 4.0 service and technology provider by Unioncamere Lombardia, qualifying UNO for Italian digital transformation incentives. Operations are entirely domestic (single country: Italy), with a small headcount of 1-10 employees.
