Chicco

Artificial Intelligence
integrated into Expresso^®.

Analyze data in real time
to make fast, informed decisions.

Chicco is the native AI functionality of the Expresso management software that transforms company data into insights, analytical data or key information, forecasts and operational suggestions, making access to company data simpler, faster and more efficient.

Users can search through text or voice queries directly within the management software, improving productivity, operational speed, and business process control.

Chicco accesses the database directly in real time using the Expresso schema, tables, relationships, and management procedures.

Who is Chicco?

Chicco is not an external component: it is the intelligent brain that lives inside the management system.

It's part of the system

Chicco is integrated into the management system. No APIs, syncs, or data lakes needed—the data is ready and available.

Understanding the context

AI interprets management. He knows what “customer order” and “stock” mean because he knows Expresso inside out.

Natural language

Ask a question as you would ask a colleague. Chicco translates your request into queries and analyses by querying the database.

Immediate response

AI gives you structured data, analytics, reporting, and actionable insights—all without leaving Expresso, all in real time.

Quick decisions

Make quick, informed decisions. No waiting, no exporting to Excel, no double systems.
