Meet

Creactives Group S.p.A. provides the governed data foundation that large enterprises need to take AI into production across procurement and the supply chain.

Its Enterprise Supply Chain Data Space connects materials, services, assets, suppliers, spend and catalogs, so that people, applications and AI agents work from the same trusted information across ERP and procurement systems.

The platform is built on a proprietary industrial Knowledge Base developed since 2004 and proven in more than 250 implementations for multinational groups.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Verona, Italy, Creactives is listed on Euronext Growth Milan Pro under ticker CREG.

Problem They’re Solving

Large businesses often hold millions of material, service and supplier records across disconnected systems, plants and languages.

The same item can appear under different names, while missing specifications and inconsistent supplier data make spending and inventory difficult to understand. The result is duplicate purchases, excess inventory and off-contract spend, and increasingly a barrier to AI: Gartner expects organizations to abandon 60% of AI projects not supported by AI-ready data through 2026.

Two forces make the problem urgent. SAP ends mainstream maintenance of its previous-generation ERP system in December 2027, and around 35,000 companies must move clean data to the new version. At the same time, companies need reliable data before AI agents can be used in daily operations.

Where They Are Headed

Creactives is expanding its established master data and spend analytics business into the Enterprise Supply Chain Data Space, a connected and continuously governed view of materials, services, assets, suppliers, spending and catalogs.

Announced in April 2026, this initiative is intended to let people and AI applications use consistent information across existing systems. The product roadmap targets an operational Data Space in the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first production AI agents in the first quarter of 2027, followed by additional agents and data domains through 2028.

The Data Space is designed to complement the ERP, procurement and data platforms customers already use rather than replace them, which lowers the barrier to adoption. All 44 subscription customers already run at least one of these domains on the platform, so the Data Space can grow first by extending existing relationships to further domains.

Creactives also plans to broaden international adoption through its consulting and technology partners.

Opportunity Highlights

Proprietary industrial knowledge: Ready for international expansion with FDA clearance and licenses for key emerging markets.Creactives’ Knowledge Base has been refined on hundreds of millions of records since 2004, with 150,000 categories and nearly 700,000 attributes, a defensible asset that competitors would need years of industrial data to replicate.
Proven at multinational scale: With 250+ implementations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia‑Pacific, Creactives harmonizes procurement and supply chain data for global enterprises in 25+ languages, including Siemens, TotalEnergies, AB InBev, Michelin, and Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners.
Measurable customer value: Creactives cleansed 5M+ records for a major European group in nine months, work estimated to take over five years manually, delivering 90% accuracy and €5.8M in savings against a €0.35M annual SaaS fee.
Established global partners: Lean operations, proven product-market fit, and high-margin OTC sales position us for rapid growth and investor returns.Accenture, Capgemini, KPMG, NTT DATA, Minsait, LKS Next, and Bain drive enterprise adoption and deliver implementation projects, enabling Creactives to focus on subscription growth; partner‑channel revenue grew 69% to €3.5M in FY2026.
Recurring customer relationships: Three‑year contracts with automatic renewal, 9–12 year average customer tenure, and ~93% gross retention provide strong recurring revenue and expansion potential across additional data domains and volumes.
Works with existing technology: The platform integrates with enterprise systems, supports SAP S/4HANA data preparation, and remains model‑agnostic, benefiting from improvements in general‑purpose AI while keeping customer data in dedicated, certified environments.
