The intelligent platform for make-to-order production
Three AI agents work on your real data: they anticipate delays, stock-outs, and inefficiencies, then propose what to do. You approve.
Chosen by Italian manufacturing SMEs
Operativo was built alongside companies that actually run make-to-order production with high variability and constantly changing priorities.
Does this sound familiar?
Your plan breaks every week
A rush order lands, a machine stops, an operator is missing. You spend hours rebuilding the schedule.
"When will it be ready?"
A customer calls and you cannot answer with confidence. You have to reconstruct the situation across the shop floor, spreadsheets, and memory.
Excel is no longer enough
With too many orders and too many variables, the spreadsheet stops being a plan. It becomes another problem to manage.
Three AI agents
Not a dashboard to watch. Three agents that tell you what to do.
Each agent works on your real data with the same loop: it watches continuously, predicts the problem before it happens, and proposes the move. You approve.
Planning & Delays
Keeps delivery dates under control
Watches
Loads, constraints, and real shop-floor progress, in real time.
Predicts
Delays before they show up, when a rush order or a machine stop puts your dates at risk.
Proposes
A new finite-capacity plan, recalculated in 2-5 seconds. You approve it.
Materials & Warehouse
Avoids stoppages from missing materials
Watches
Stock, movements, and material needs of planned jobs.
Predicts
Stock-outs on the materials you need, before they stop production.
Proposes
What and when to reorder, with the right quantities to keep you running.
Performance & Inefficiencies
Recovers hidden capacity
Watches
Real times, scrap, downtime, and KPIs by department and machine.
Predicts
Where hours are lost: bottlenecks, waste, and out-of-standard phases.
Proposes
Corrective actions to recover capacity, backed by the numbers.
Rescheduling 500 orders, when the plan breaks
2-4 hours
Manual Excel
5-15 minutes
Enterprise APS
2-5 seconds
Operativo
Three agents, one principle: the intelligence proposes, you decide.
Not Excel, not a €200k APS project
Operativo is the middle ground: powerful enough for real production constraints, simple enough for an SME to adopt quickly.
Excel
Fast to start, fragile as orders and constraints grow.
Operativo
Operational control without an enterprise project.
Enterprise APS
Powerful, but often too long and heavy for an SME.

Real case: MEB Srl
From Excel and paper to controlled production with live data
MEB managed orders, progress, and priorities across Excel, paper sheets, and verbal updates. With Operativo, planning, shop floor, and management moved into the same system.
Before
Constant 2-3 week delays, hand-written progress updates, and priorities reconstructed by the shop-floor manager.
After
Digital progress tracking, shared dashboards, visible workloads, and an updated plan based on real shop-floor data.
Results
2-3 weeks
of delays eliminated
Excel and paper
removed from the operating flow
Capacity
increased without new staff
Practical rollout
How we start in 7 days
Setup does not start as a long IT project. We start from the data you already have, configure the operating model, and quickly reach a usable first schedule.
What we need to start
- Open orders
- Routings or work phases
- Resources, machines, or departments
- Shifts and calendars
- ERP or Excel export, if available
Full ERP and external system integrations can come later: to validate value and workflow, an initial data baseline is enough.
Import orders, routings, and resources
We start from your ERP, Excel exports, or existing files to create a clean operating baseline.
Configure shifts, constraints, and skills
We add capacity, calendars, competencies, setup times, and the real rules of the factory.
Generate the first schedule
We schedule orders on finite resources and review dates, workloads, and priorities together.
The shop floor updates from tablet
Operators and managers start recording progress, quantities, and issues in real time.
