Forterro has developed MyForterro.ai, its new artificial intelligence platform, designed so that the industry made up of manufacturing companies, distributors and processors of essential products, can apply AI to their day-to-day operational challenges.
MyForterro.ai connects the industry to leading AI models and trusted operational data housed in Forterro’s secure software ecosystem. Customers can use the platform to develop AI-powered assistants, automate repetitive processes, improve access to business knowledge, and strengthen decision-making within their typical workflows.
The launch follows an invitation-only access program in which more than 540 customers from across Europe have participated. Developed in close collaboration with these customers, the platform focuses on practical, industry-specific applications in areas such as production optimization, process automation, access to knowledge and decision support.
Saving time and costs
The first applications have already demonstrated their commercial potential. Spanish food and beverage manufacturer JULIAN SOLER plans to save between four and eight hours a day thanks to an AI-powered recipe optimization solution, connected to production, laboratory and quality data within its Abas ERP environment.
“Industrial companies trust Forterro to integrate AI where it can generate measurable impact. MyForterro.ai combines our deep knowledge of the mid-industrial sector with the reliable operational data already present in our software ecosystem. It offers customers a practical way to improve productivity, strengthen decision making and create new business value within the workflows they use every day,” said Dean Forbes, CEO of Forterro.
For his part, Roberto Aniorte Fernández, AI Lead at Abas Forterro commented «MyForterro marks the beginning of a new stage for Abas and our clients. Artificial Intelligence gives us the opportunity to reinvent processes that until now we considered difficult or even impossible to optimize or automate. All this combining new capabilities, a safe environment and the flexibility that has always characterized Forterro Abas.”
AI contributes to business growth in processes
Customers across Forterro’s various European markets have worked closely with the company to test MyForterro.ai, provide feedback and help shape its continued evolution. Among the first participants are E-PERFORMANCE AG, Herba-Plastic AG, modellshop GmbH, Larbaletier and Selenium Medical.
Early adopters are already seeing how AI contributes to business growth within their regular work processes.
Ashleigh Wilson, Technical Manager at CIE-Group Ltd, a UK distributor of intercom and access control solutions, said “the biggest impact has been increased revenue. AI-based cross-selling functionality provides our team with relevant recommendations directly within the software, helping us identify more opportunities for our customers.”
The experience gained during the invitational program has contributed to both the evolution of MyForterro.ai and Forterro’s overall AI strategy, ensuring that future capabilities continue to be based on real operational needs and workflows.
Practical AI for the mid-sized industry
The platform is designed to support Forterro’s growing portfolio of AI-based use cases, while allowing customers to adopt those capabilities that best fit their priorities, systems and processes.

“Industrial companies are looking for AI solutions that provide tangible value,” Forbes added. “MyForterro.ai offers our customers a practical way to improve performance, support their teams and generate better results using the systems and data that are already fundamental to their operations. The results obtained by the first customers make us confident in the value that this platform can bring to the entire mid-industrial market.”
MyForterro.ai is now officially available to Forterro customers across participating product lines, with new functionality and integrations planned as the platform continues to evolve.
