A development team in your own time zone, under the same EU data protection rules, at labour costs below the large Western European markets. Custom software, ERP, CRM, AI agents and managed cloud.
IN SHORT
UreTech is an Italian software house, active since 2017 and registered as a business in 2023. We build custom software, ERP and CRM systems, AI agents and managed cloud for companies that want a development partner in Italy. Every project starts with a free feasibility analysis.
Nearshoring to Italy keeps the team close in time, law and working culture, while the cost of skilled labour stays below Germany, France or the Nordics.
Offshore outsourcing of custom software development often trades a lower day rate for long feedback loops across distant time zones.
Distant time zones push stand-ups and reviews into late-night calls.
Offshore suppliers often work under a legal framework your company does not know. With an EU supplier, one legal framework applies on both sides of the contract.
A lower cost per hour only matters if the scope is clear and the work is done right the first time.
TIME ZONE AND COSTS
If you are comparing nearshore software development companies, start from what changes day to day.
Italy uses Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October, as set by EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The UK changes clocks on the same dates under the Summer Time Order 2002, so London is one hour behind Italy all year round.
New York is six hours behind Italy for most of the year. The gap drops to five hours for a few weeks in March and in late October, because US daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November (15 U.S.C. § 260a). Our afternoon overlaps with the US East Coast morning, which is enough for daily stand-ups and reviews.

These are employer costs per hour worked, including wages and social contributions. They are not the price of a software vendor. That is why we price projects by fixed-scope sprints rather than open-ended hours.
We work on projects where software runs core business processes. These are the services we offer to companies outside Italy.
Web applications, customer portals, internal tools and B2B platforms, built on a stack chosen for your requirements and maintainable by your own team after handover.
Odoo implementation, custom modules, data migration and integration with your systems, including Italian localization and SdI e-invoicing for companies with an Italian entity.
Custom CRMs or CRM integrations that fit your sales process instead of forcing it into a generic template, connected to your ERP, website and email.
AI agents that read documents, answer internal questions, prepare quotes or move data between systems, with human review where decisions matter.
Hosting, deployment pipelines, backups and monitoring for the applications we build, on EU infrastructure.
Our process is designed so that you always know what you are paying for and what you will receive.
A free review of your goals, systems, data and constraints. You receive a written summary with the recommended approach, main risks and the scope of the first sprint.
Scope and price are agreed before each sprint. At the end of every sprint you see working software in a test environment. If priorities change, we change the next sprint, not the price of the current one.
At the end of the project, or whenever you decide, you receive the source code in your repository, the technical documentation and the deployment instructions.
COMPLIANCE
Working with an EU supplier means one legal framework on both sides of the contract. When we process personal data for you, we act as a processor and sign a data processing agreement as required by Article 28 of the GDPR.
Italy transposed the NIS2 Directive with Legislative Decree 138/2024, in force since 16 October 2024, and the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) applies in stages since its entry into force in August 2024. When we build AI agents for you, we design them with these obligations in mind from the start.
If you sell to or operate in Italy, there is one more local requirement. Since 1 January 2019, invoices between businesses established in Italy must be electronic and pass through the Sistema di Interscambio (SdI), the exchange system of the Italian Revenue Agency. We configure ERP and invoicing systems that handle this flow.
UreTech has been active since 2017 and was registered as a business in 2023. We work with clients in Milan, Bologna and Rome, across Italy and in the EU. Our team works in English and Italian, and we communicate through the tools your team already uses. More about us on the About us page.
What companies ask us before starting a nearshore project.
Tell us what you want to build. We will review it and tell you, in writing, whether it makes sense, how we would approach it and what the first sprint would include.
