The code stays the client's, on standard technologies, and every project moves in milestones you can see." --- # Custom SaaS and AI for business **Cloud native** platforms, **web apps** and **AI systems** that carry the processes of SMEs, startups and industry. One senior team, from the plan to running it. Research, training and innovation ## Eight skills, one team from the plan to running it. *Services* ### Project Leading End-to-end control of the project: priorities, releases and responsibilities shared with the management. ### UX / UI design Accessible interfaces (WCAG) made for the people who work on the product every day. ### Software engineering Solid architectures, tests and code quality as a requirement, not as an option. ### SaaS development Scalable multi-tenant platforms, from the prototype to the product in production. ### Cloud architecture Cloud native infrastructure that is resilient, observable and keeps costs in check. ### DevOps automation CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and releases with no downtime. ### ERP integration MES, MRP, ERP, CRM and legacy systems brought into one flow. ### AI solutions Agents, automation and RAG systems inside the processes, with governance and guardrails. - [See all the services](/services) From strategy to production: a single team that picks the stack to fit the problem. ## The areas where we have already delivered. *Who we work for* ### Manufacturing *3 case studies* precision engineering, automotive components, foundries, machine shops ### Product companies *1 case study* devices and systems: security, home automation, telecare, IoT ### Service companies *6 case studies* training and certification, institutions, car hire and rental, technical support ### Startups *3 case studies* startups at product stage, in any sector ### Professional firms and consulting *3 case studies* professional and law firms, accountants, consulting for larger companies ### Healthcare, medical and pharma *2 case studies* healthcare and care services, medical and pharmaceutical companies *The Playbook* We don't have clients. *We have partners.* **We design and build digital products** with the care of a craft: solid, scalable, made to last.

Volcanic Minds is both a **software house** and an **innovation partner**, based in Turin and founded in 2022. Beyond building tailor-made solutions, it supports companies as an end-to-end technology partner: it picks the stack to fit the problem and brings engineering, accessible design and AI governance together. What sets it apart from a traditional software house is the partner approach, aimed at the outcome and not at selling hours. ### What kind of SaaS platforms and AI applications does Volcanic Minds build? Volcanic Minds builds custom software, SaaS platforms and enterprise systems, cross-platform web and mobile applications, and artificial intelligence solutions integrated into business processes. Every solution is designed around the company's own needs, built on **cloud native** architectures and made to integrate with existing systems (MES, MRP, ERP, CRM, legacy software), with constant attention to security, scalability and accessibility (WCAG). ### What is AI orchestration, and what are agentic systems? AI orchestration is the design of operational flows where several AI agents (agentic AI) work together to carry out complex tasks autonomously, or semi-autonomously, integrating with the company's data and systems. Volcanic Minds designs these workflows around ROI and **security by design**: guardrails that constrain how agents behave, protection of PII and sensitive business data, and access control by role and level (RBAC), so that every agent or user only reaches what they are allowed to. Solutions range from integrating agents and automation to RAG systems with access to external tools and data. AI transformation for SMEs, with agentic system orchestration and EU AI Act governance, is handled by the dedicated Volcanic Minds AI ([volcanicminds.ai](https://volcanicminds.ai)). ### How do you ensure governance, security and control in enterprise AI? For Volcanic Minds governance is part of designing enterprise AI: systems with traceable decisions and human oversight (**HITL**, human-in-the-loop), business data protected and never used to train external models, and processes aligned with the **EU AI Act**. This approach, security, compliance and control by design, makes it possible to adopt AI and agents even on critical processes without giving up reliability and accountability for decisions. ### Who owns the source code? **Yours, 100%, with no license fees and no vendor lock-in, in black and white in the contract.** Ownership passes milestone by milestone: every milestone you pay transfers to you the part of the project it covers. It is the premise of the contract, not a concession at the end of the work. So that you are not tied to us we use standard, documented technologies, and we hand over accesses, repositories and API documentation in Swagger/OAS format. *Read more* - [Trust Center: the fixed points](/trust#impegni) — our commitment on code ownership - [Are there components that do not become ours?](#componenti-terze-parti) — on this page ### What happens after launch? Do you offer support, SLAs and training? Go-live is the beginning, not the end. Volcanic Minds offers corrective and evolutionary maintenance contracts with clear **SLAs** for response times, drawing a firm line between bugs (covered by the warranty) and new work. Training sessions and handover to your team are part of it, along with quality assurance and support contracts shaped around the project. ## The first step is a conversation, not a quote. Tell us what does not work today and what has to hold tomorrow. We will tell you whether we are the right people, what it really involves and where it makes sense to start. If the project is not for us, we say so straight away. - [Let's talk about your project](/en/contacts)
