Overview

Ricerca develops RECERQA, described as an Agentic ERP that optimizes order placement and processing through autonomous data normalization and AI-driven decision support. The system uses a four-tier architecture called "Quattro" to normalize operational data and leverage accumulated data to support business decision-making and execution. Ricerca says that as more operational data is collected post-implementation, the AI's decision accuracy improves and the need for human verification declines. The company recently revamped its system to emphasize Agentic ERP characteristics distinct from conventional ERPs. Ricerca plans to expand its commercial rollout to major manufacturing and trading companies while scaling its team, prioritizing hires of AI engineers and forward-deployed engineers (FDEs). Financially, the company has raised ¥1.7 billion in Series A funding, with total financing exceeding ¥2 billion to date.
