Revan

What Revan does

Revan SAS (Revan S.a.s. di Fabio Gabelli & C.) is an Italian IT consulting firm founded in 2011 by Fabio Gabelli, headquartered in Lissone (Monza e Brianza). The company operates two service lines for Italian small and medium enterprises with 10–50 employees: a fractional IT management offering (with three contract tiers — on-demand break/fix, annual remote retainer with next-business-day SLA, and full remote-plus-on-site contracts) and a custom software development practice built on Flutter and Firebase. Revan distinguishes itself by combining IT infrastructure management and custom software under a single interlocutor, with post-go-live software support included from contract inception rather than negotiated as an add-on.

Beyond client services, Revan maintains a portfolio of six proprietary software products built on a common Flutter/Firebase stack: Universal Mapper (IT infrastructure documentation), DorIAn (AI-powered art conservation cataloguing using Gemini and OpenAI), Ticketto (event ticketing with native Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes), Holonet (centralized management dashboard for distributed devices), LockAI (a white-label OPNsense-based firewall appliance), and CoreAI (a conversational-AI unified ERP/CRM/webmail dashboard approaching private beta in 2026). The products are interconnected — Holonet remotely manages LockAI firewalls and CoreAI servers — and are sold both directly and through a partner/reseller program covering Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Spain.

The business is bootstrapped and founder-owned (Fabio Gabelli as sole managing partner), with no external investment, no disclosed revenue, and headcount in the 1–10 range. Acquisition is primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, a content blog, and LinkedIn; no outbound or paid marketing is described. Revan has adopted GDPR and EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) governance policies and runs on Firebase/Google Cloud infrastructure under standard contractual clauses for non-EU data transfers.

Revenue model

1. Fractional IT Manager Services: Three contract modalities: on-demand (break/fix) billed at cost; annual remote assistance subscription with continuous IT presence and guaranteed NBD SLA; full contract (remote + on-site) with fee proportional to the machine park. Revenue is recurring for subscribers, one-time/on-demand for break/fix clients.
2. Custom Software Development: Custom software development for Italian SMEs with Flutter and Firebase. Pricing model is transparent estimate-based, transitioning to fixed-price 'chiavi in mano' for well-defined projects. Post-go-live assistance is included from the start of the contract, not negotiated separately.
3. Internal Software Products: Revan maintains and sells a portfolio of internal software products including LockAI (firewall appliance), Holonet (SaaS dashboard), Ticketto (SaaS event ticketing), DorIAn (AI art conservation), Universal Mapper, and CoreAI (in development). Revenue comes from product sales, subscriptions, and hardware where applicable.
4. Partner/Reseller Program — LockAI and CoreAI: IT resellers and MSPs become authorized partners to distribute LockAI and CoreAI to their SME clients. Revan provides the product, training, certification, and support. Partners resell under their own brand (white-label for LockAI). Revenue flows through product sales to partners.

Core offering

Revan SAS provides fractional IT management and custom software development for Italian SMEs (10-50 employees) that lack a dedicated internal IT Manager. The IT management service is offered under three contract models (on-demand break/fix, annual remote retainer with NBD SLA, and full remote+on-site contract), delivered through a single-interlocutor model with no ticketing systems. Custom software development uses a Flutter and Firebase stack to build mobile apps, web apps, management systems, and integrations, with post-go-live support included in the initial agreement. Alongside these services, Revan maintains and sells a portfolio of six proprietary software products (Universal Mapper, DorIAn, Ticketto, Holonet, LockAI, CoreAI) targeting IT infrastructure management, art conservation, event ticketing, and unified business dashboards.

Product overview

Revan operates as an IT partner for Italian SMBs offering two main service lines — fractional IT management and custom software development — under a single interlocutor model. Alongside client services, the company maintains an internal portfolio of six proprietary software products: Universal Mapper (IT infrastructure mapping), DorIAn (AI art conservation suite), Ticketto (event ticketing with wallet integration), Holonet (centralized security device management dashboard), LockAI (white-label OPNsense firewall), and CoreAI (unified ERP/webmail/CRM with conversational AI). These products share a common technological foundation (Flutter, Firebase) and are interconnected — Holonet manages LockAI and CoreAI remotely, CoreAI unifies business data across ERP/CRM/webmail functions, and Ticketto operates as a standalone SaaS platform. The product ecosystem is complemented by three service offerings: fractional IT management (three contract tiers with NBD SLA), custom Flutter/Firebase software development with guaranteed post-go-live support, and an AI Act self-assessment tool.
