Rete Servizi Agricoltura

What Rete Servizi Agricoltura does

Rete Servizi Agricoltura is a private network of five wholly-owned Italian subsidiaries headquartered in Forlì, Emilia-Romagna, delivering integrated professional services to agricultural enterprises. The network comprises SEDI S.r.l. (accounting, tax and management consulting), Areapaghe S.r.l. (payroll and labor consulting), AreaDati S.r.l. (IT solutions and proprietary software), AreaTecnica S.r.l. (technical services and CAA-authorized CAP and subsidy management), and ConsulenzaAgricola.it S.r.l. (online information portal, training, and publishing). The company serves over 4,500 active clients across all 18 Italian regions, with its strongest concentration of 2,450 clients in Emilia-Romagna, and 1,500+ clients using the full suite of network services.

The underlying technology stack centers on a suite of proprietary agricultural software products developed by AreaDati, including AgriFATT (electronic invoicing), On.Alleva (livestock registry management), PasFit (phytosanitary passport management), Cedolini.Online (digital payslip portal), and Caterina (AI-powered virtual secretary). A document management system provides real-time access to tax returns, invoices, contracts, and cadastral records. AreaTecnica operates as a Centro di Assistenza Agricola (CAA), a regulated authorization that creates a structural entry barrier in subsidy processing. The revenue model combines fee-based professional services (accounting, payroll, technical consulting) with recurring subscription revenue from software products and the ConsulenzaAgricola.it information portal. Distribution is hybrid: direct field sales with dedicated consultants conducting on-site farm visits, supplemented by self-serve digital platforms accessible nationwide. The company is owned and led by founder Luciano Mattarelli, with no external institutional or venture capital backing disclosed.
