What Airtool does

Airtool is an enterprise application platform operated by Airtool Technologies S.L., a Spanish private limited company headquartered in Barcelona and described as a Deister Software project. It targets large enterprises with complex operational backbones, legacy 4GL modernisation candidates (Oracle Forms, PowerBuilder, Delphi, Informix 4GL, IBM i/AS/400, custom J2EE), Spanish and LATAM businesses requiring built-in fiscal compliance (SII, TicketBAI, Verifactu, SUNAT, DIAN), IBM-ecosystem enterprises, and AI-first organisations. The platform is built on a supervised JVM-class runtime using GraalVM JDK 25, Jetty 12, and JEP 444 virtual threads, where applications are SQL rows in a metadata repository rather than compiled artefacts; changes propagate cluster-wide in milliseconds via Redis pub/sub, with primary writes and replica reads handled transparently. It supports seven OLTP engines (PostgreSQL, Informix, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, SAP HANA) and three OLAP engines (Vertica, ClickHouse, BigQuery) via XDBL schema compilation, with 18 specialised microservices over gRPC and HTTP for document rendering, OCR, Mermaid diagrams, and cloud connectors.

The product surface consists of the Airtool Platform runtime plus a source-available Apps suite covering ERP, CRM, HR, and Project Management, plus the browser-based Airtool Studio IDE. Multi-provider AI abstraction spans OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex, IBM watsonx, Cohere, and Ollama, with RAG over four vector stores (Qdrant, Milvus, pgvector, Redis Stack), NL-to-SQL agents, and a native MCP server with role-gated tool access and human-approval gates. Eight authentication mechanisms, multi-tenancy enforced at the JDBC layer, row- and column-level security, and observability as SQL (MemDB, JMX, JFR, activity log) round out the platform. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2023 and ENS Medium certifications, runs engineering hubs in Barcelona, Lima, and Islamabad, and operates an enterprise field-sales GTM with senior architect-led discovery, three support tiers (Standard, Premium, Enterprise), a partner programme for implementation and resale, and a forthcoming AWS Marketplace AMI. Revenue is generated through subscription licensing for the platform runtime and Apps suite, with Premium and Enterprise support as paid uplifts; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Platform software subscription: Annual or multi-year subscription licensing for the Airtool supervised runtime platform. Subscription tiers (Standard, Premium, Enterprise) provide escalating support levels, availability SLAs, and access to software updates. Revenue recognised over the subscription contract period.
2. Apps suite licensing: Source-available ERP, CRM, HR, and Project Management applications built on the Airtool platform. Partner-ready, deployable on-premises or cloud. Licensed alongside or separately from the platform runtime.
3. Premium support and professional services: Paid uplift support tiers with 24x5 or 24x7 coverage, named support engineers, quarterly health reviews, and architect engagement. Standard support is included with subscription; Premium and Enterprise are paid additions.
4. AWS Marketplace (coming): Self-serve AMI deployment path on AWS infrastructure, launched on customer's own AWS account. Future revenue stream for cloud-native consumption.

Core offering

Airtool is a supervised enterprise application platform built on a JVM-class runtime (GraalVM JDK 25, Jetty 12, virtual threads) where applications are SQL rows in a metadata repository rather than compiled artefacts, enabling hot-reload across the cluster in milliseconds. The platform natively generates SQL for seven OLTP engines (PostgreSQL, Informix, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, SAP HANA) and three OLAP engines (Vertica, ClickHouse, BigQuery), and exposes a packaged Apps suite (ERP, CRM, HR, Project Management) plus a browser-based Studio for visual authoring. It also ships an AI/MCP layer for multi-provider LLMs, RAG over multiple vector stores, and governed autonomous agents operating inside the user's permission perimeter.
