The company covers the entire data value chain: data strategy, data engineering, analytics engineering, BI and data science, with the goal of generating measurable impact for its clients. Over the last two years it has significantly strengthened its AI practice, both as an accelerator for existing data projects and with dedicated AI integration solutions. While remaining a compact company, it works with large international clients (including HelloFresh, Airalo and Last Minute) and Italian enterprise brands, and is pursuing an international expansion. It also dedicates a significant part of its activity to the non-profit sector, including pro bono projects for organisations such as AIRC and Save the Children.Digital Pills recently received an investment from RIF-T, a vehicle controlled by Equiter and funded by Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, to support its scale-up phase and its transformation into an AI & Data company: a model that uses client projects as an incubator for proprietary accelerators and products.
