solutions based on free software: no license fees, adapted to how you work.
Zelo ERP is the system that grows with your business.
About us
A technology partner,
not just a vendor.
Our values
What guides us, every day
Concrete results
Installing the software is the easy part. What counts is what changes afterwards: the time saved and the errors that disappear. That is how we measure our work.
Clear costs
From the first meeting we say what the service includes and what it will cost. Anything excluded is written down before you sign.
Long-term partnership
Our work does not end at delivery: assistance, training and updates continue for as long as you use the system.
Sustainability
Free software has no license fees to pay every year. That budget goes where it makes a difference: customization and training.
Innovation, when it is useful
We follow new technology closely, but we recommend it only when it solves a real problem of yours. Machine learning helps a lot in some processes; in others it only adds cost.
Italian roots
We know Italian SMEs from the inside, with their cash-flow rhythms and the regulations they answer to. When you call, you find people who know that world.
First the method,
then the technology
We work in three steps:
In-depth analysis
Before proposing a solution we come into your company, watch the processes as they really run, and talk to the people who operate them. What we assumed gets verified against the data.
Co-design
We design the system together with you and with the people who will use it every day. Where a standard solution works, we use it; where it does not, we build it.
Continuous improvement
After installation we keep monitoring results, gathering feedback and correcting course. As your business changes, the system changes with it.
Our philosophy
Why we choose free software
No license fees
With proprietary software, license fees come back every year. With free software that money stays in your budget and funds customization and training, the parts that actually change how you work.
Full customization
The code is open and modifiable. We can adapt every part of the system to your processes, without waiting for a vendor to decide whether your request is worth accepting.
Guaranteed continuity
The software belongs to the community, not to one vendor. If the original developer disappears or changes direction, the code stays available and someone else can pick it up.
Interoperability
When a standard connector does not exist, we write one, so that machines, CRMs, ERPs and third-party systems can talk to each other.
Security and transparency
Anyone can review the code, so vulnerabilities are found and fixed quickly. With proprietary software you take the vendor’s word; here you can check.
Global community
Behind the software we use there are thousands of developers worldwide. When a problem appears, someone has usually already met it, and the fix arrives fast.
