iERP · the app

One app.
The whole business.

iERP is the app every person in the company opens in the morning: the owner, the welder, the driver, the person who runs payroll. The same five places for everyone; inside, each person’s own work. Here you see it in the hands of the people who use it, as it is in the prototype.

The five places

Today, Company, iO, Money, More.
For everyone, in the same order.

At the bottom there are always the same five words, from the owner to the newest hire, and no menu to scroll. Work lives in Today, Company and Money; iO is one tap from every screen; in More there is your profile, written plainly: what you see and what you don't, what you sign, what you let iO do on its own.

Today

  1. All the day's decisions, with the figures to decide; the ones you don't make today you can postpone to tomorrow. Below, “iO is monitoring”: lines that speak only when something changes. Today has an end: you reach the bottom and know there's nothing else.

How iO works

iO is on every screen.
Write, speak or upload, from wherever you are.

At the centre of the bar is its place, with ready questions and the people to talk to. But the “Ask iO” line sits on every screen, just above the bar: ask from wherever you are, without changing place. iO answers with its sources and proposes; you decide.

Andrea's phone showing iO's place: ready questions, each with its sources, and the people to talk to by holding down
iO's placeready questions and people to talk to
  • Write

    Every answer cites its documents.

    “How much does Alimont owe us?” iO answers from the invoices and orders, and shows you which ones. If a figure is an estimate, it tells you.

  • Speak

    Press and hold to speak.

    To iO, or to a person: Roberto in maintenance, the welding department. The note stays attached to the thing you're talking about: the batch, the order, the machine.

  • Upload

    A photo, and iO reads.

    Photograph a delivery note, upload an invoice, a price list, a sketch: iO says what it read and what it inferred, and proposes where to file it. You confirm.

  • On its own

    iO works at night. You decide in the morning.

    It records, matches, reconciles; by seven you find the briefing and the decisions ready. On its own it does only what you've entrusted to it: the autopilot, written in More and revocable.

Journey 1 · a business of five people

The owner does everything.
Her phone is the whole company.

Larkworth Pasta, five employees. No org chart, no approval flows: one person decides. Her iERP has nothing to configure: Today is her decisions, Company is every room, Money is the cash. The system took the shape of the business, not the other way round.

At night iO records, matches and reconciles. In the morning the owner finds seven decisions ready, not seventy lines to fill in: she approves, she doesn't enter data.

Todaythe day’s decisions, already prepared
Companysix rooms, one fact each

  • No roles to set up.

    A business of five people has an owner, not an org chart. iERP starts that way: one person, every room, and the lens is the company itself.

  • The work arrives already prepared.

    Eighteen ledger entries, six bank movements, two delivery notes: done overnight. What’s left for the owner are the things that decide the margin: the reorder, the order to confirm, the late supplier.

  • It grows when you grow.

    The day you hire a production manager, their lens is born from a sentence to iO. No reinstall, no module to buy: the same system, one more person.

Journey 2 · a business of thirty-eight people

The same five words.
Inside, each person’s own work.

Metalfaber, metalworking, thirty-eight people. Andrea is the managing director: his phone holds the whole company. Luca works on line 2: his holds line 2. Same app, same bar; what changes is the lens, that is, what reaches you.

The shift, the voice report, today’s jobs

From the clickable prototype, sample data. In More everyone can read what they see and what they don't: the lens isn't a permission hidden in a menu, it's written down.

Why does Luca have Money too?

Because that's where his pay arrives. Hours from the clock-in, overtime, holidays left, the payslip in the vault, a €38 expense claim, benefits. His money, not the company's: he sees it, and nobody adds it up with anyone else's.

That's the point of the whole design: every place means something to everyone. There's no employee portal next to the ERP, no app for the owner and another for the shop floor. There's one app, made to improve the lives of the people who work, not just to count their hours.

The reason is simple: the tiredness of a day is not just the work, it's everything that goes around it. Asking the office how many days off are left, waiting for the payslip to work out overtime, filling in a form for a breakdown, keeping a receipt to be reimbursed. Here each of these becomes an answer or a gesture, and the time it frees goes back to the craft and to home. And an app that helps the people who use it every day gets really used: that's how the company's data becomes real too.

The prototype has fifteen people and six companies. Each one enters with their own lens; in More they find “Switch persona”.

Journey 3 · a group of six companies

Many businesses in one app.
Fine-grained management, fine-grained view.

Holding company, subsidiaries and associates live in the same app, each with its own scheme and its own data. You switch from one company to another with a strip at the top: it's a change of context, not a filter.

The same app used to watch the group and do business intelligence is the one that, in the other departments, different people use for their job: administration, purchasing, production, warehouse, sales. The numbers management reads are the ones the departments write while working: there's no second system to keep in line.

Companies · the group: facts per company, no ranking
Companiesfacts per company, no ranking
Where do you want to go? Six companies, one role in each
Where do you want to enter?six companies, one role in each

  • One account, several companies.

    Not one login per company: a single access, with the companies where you have a role. A company that stays on its own management software can join the group with just the summary.

  • Permissions by company, department and person.

    You can decide in one company and only read in another, manage one department and not the one next door. Changing a permission is an explicit act; in More everyone reads what they see and what they don't.

  • Each sees at their own scale.

    The whole group, one company, one department, down to the single figure. Companies compare on facts, never in a ranking.

The desk

The phone is action.
The desk is analysis and creation.

The desk is the desktop version of iERP: the same app and the same data as the phone, for different work. On the phone you act: you record what happens, sign and pay, wherever and whenever it's needed. On the desk you analyse and create: you trace the numbers back to the single document, design products and follow their costs and margins, adapt ACQ to how the company works. That's why the desk doesn't enter data, sign or pay: when something needs doing, it sends you back to the phone.

The desk: the group dashboard, revenue, margins, cash, emissions and people, company by company
Down to the data. Every tile and every cell of the dashboard opens down to the documents that make it up, with who did it and when.
The desk: the conversation with iO, with sources cited, and the things to decide
Ask, dictate, upload. A price list, a drawing, a photo, an email: iO says what it read and what it inferred, and proposes. You approve.

Create product

A product is born from a sentence.
Or from a sketch, a photo, a product that already exists.

Giulia dictates: “A tall stool for the bar at Hotel Lago Blu, in the same fabric as the Ondina. We need 24, around 320 euros.” iO starts from the Ondina, inherits frame, fabric and the history of its tests, and asks three questions to the people who know. Two minutes later there is a draft: one record, with all its facets.

  • One record only.

    Data sheet, bill of materials, routings, variants, compliance, costs, carbon, intellectual property: facets of the same object. The sheet you edit is the same one in the Lab and in the Hub.

  • It goes on sale when approval arrives.

    The stool enters the price list only with the approval of the manager and the owner, or of the customer when it's made to measure for them. It's not a box to tick: it's the Lab's rule, and it applies to everyone.

  • Nothing without you.

    iO prepares the draft and asks only the questions that are missing; every answer carries the name of the person who gave it. It becomes a product when you confirm.

Lab · research and development

Every project has a story.
And an account.

The Ondina, Arredo Bellini’s contract seat, was born on 14 June from a request by Hotel Cortina. In the Lab its page holds together the creative context — who it’s for, what changes, constraints, materials — and the economic one: budget, spend, declared hours, external costs, expected price and margin. Every line of the cost register has its invoice or its hours.

The Lab on Andrea’s phone: three projects in development and the costs per project

The same Lab, on the phoneAndrea sees Metalfaber’s three projects and the costs per project. This is where you contribute: by voice, with a photo, with a cost.

  • Contributing is a sentence.

    An idea, a photo, a cost, the hours, a question for the supplier: write, speak or upload. iO shows where it puts it and with what effect; you confirm, and it appears in the story and in the register.

  • Who did what, with certain dates.

    Every contribution carries a name and a date. Ownership is declared on the branches; intellectual property is one facet of the project, not its purpose.

  • No benefits before the professional.

    The R&D credit and the patent box are not calculated until the professional validates them. Patents are “in preparation”, and that is what we call them.

Money · per product

How much each product earns.
From real costs, not the price list.

Every product is a single record: you edit it, you work on it, and you see how much it earns and how. The margin is on full cost: materials from consumption, labour from declared hours, machines from measured hours, transport from the routes. Updated at seven, every morning.

  • The margin of every channel.

    Resellers, own shops, contract: the same product earns differently. You see it line by line, and every line opens down to the documents.

  • The cost that changes with the routing.

    One operation fewer on the flange is worth about six points of margin. You know it before touching the price list, not at year end.

  • One change, all its consequences.

    You change the frame drawing and iO lists what it touches: the open order, production, the warehouse, the supplier, a test, the cost. You approve, one thing at a time.

Launcher · change ACQ

Not an ERP to learn.
A system for building your own.

ACQ isn't a finished ERP: it's the system a business uses to build its own. From the desk, in Archive, the Launcher changes everything: roles and lenses, look and names, processes and relationships, the data schema, the integrations. You say it, iO shows the difference, you approve. Every change has a version and can be revoked.

  • Your vocabulary, your brand.

    The rooms are called what you call them: “sites”, “jobs”, “departments”. Colours and logo are yours, in the app and on the site.

  • Processes the way you really run them.

    Below a threshold Paola approves, above it Andrea; who answers to whom, and how fast. Nine rules, written in plain words, revocable.

  • Integrations are described, not coded.

    SAP, the bank, the e-invoicing exchange, press P2, an online shop: describe it or upload a document, iO proposes the connector and tries it on one record before switching it on.

The desk reads, it doesn't enter data. It doesn't sign and it doesn't pay. When it's your turn, it hands you the phone: that's where your identity is, and that's where every responsibility passes.

Phone and desk together

  • Whoever handles things works with their hands full.

    Goods receipts, picks and counts go through the scan on the phone; the gate and the line report by themselves. The desk reads what the hands have done.

  • Signatures and payments, only on the phone.

    Digital identity, electronic ID card or your fingerprint. On the desk you find “Sign on your phone”, and the signature goes into the register.

  • Same objects, not the same screens.

    A document says the same things, in the same words, on both screens. The desk shows more lines; the phone shows the signature.

Connections

It connects to everything.
From the warehouse to the web.

The tools you already have stay where they are: the rugged terminal in the warehouse, the barcode reader at the counter, the scale, the label printer and the office printer. ACQ connects to each of them and, on the other side, to the web: CRM, online shops, marketplaces. A scan, a weighing or an online order lands in the same place, and nobody copies it.

  • Rugged terminals

    Warehouse smartphones, with the code reader built in. The ACQ app runs there and uses that reader: the code read is already a receipt, a pick, a count.

    receipts · picks · stock counts

  • Barcode readers

    Gun-style and desktop ones, with cable or Bluetooth. You pair them with the phone, tablet or computer, and the code goes in where it's needed without typing anything.

    receiving · production · till

  • Scales

    From the counter scale to the weighbridge for lorries. The weight goes into the batch, the label and the delivery note on its own, without passing through a spreadsheet.

    weighings · tares · deliveries

  • Label and office printers

    Thermal printers print labels with the barcode for batches, parcels and shelves; office printers do delivery notes, invoices and pick lists.

On the web

CRM, online shops, marketplaces.

Orders from your site and marketplaces come in on their own; stock, prices and shipments flow back updated. The CRM and ACQ talk about the same customers.

  • Salesforce
  • HubSpot
  • Shopify
  • WooCommerce
  • PrestaShop
  • Magento
  • Amazon
  • SAP
  • Banks
  • SdI (Italian e-invoicing)

No connector yet? Describe it to iO, which proposes it and tests it on a record before switching it on.
