And there’s a real need for it: In Italy, the meal delivery market is expected to achieve a revenue of US$1.35bn by the end of 2024. TeamSystem is Italy’s leading provider of digital business management solutions for companies and a key player in the European ICT sector. In 2023 the company registered more than 850 million in revenues. Through the investment, TeamSystem enhances its position in the food and beverage management sector, broadening the services available to their clients. With its adaptive algorithm powered by Artificial Intelligence, Deliverart streamlines and optimizes the entire process of managing home delivery and pickup orders for restaurants, prioritizing orders based on kitchen capacity and ensuring optimal service. For Deliverart - Food delivery software, this is a strategic jumping board to propel the company’s growth, extending their presence in Italy and to advance Deliverart’s mission, to help restaurant operators work at their best, always meeting the restaurant industry's demands. We are incredibly proud of Eleonora, Bryan, Damiano and the whole team for reaching this important milestone! We have believed in the Deliverart team since the early start and are excited to be on the site of the Rome-based team, while they enter this important next phase of their journey 🚀 Read more: (ENG) https://lnkd.in/dirdx5hm (ITA) https://lnkd.in/dJ2hiiXF
