About — Alto

Gianmarco Marcucci

Founder & CEO

Built by someone who understands the problem from the inside.

Alto Group was founded with a straightforward premise: the fabrication trades are filled with skilled people spending hours on work that software should handle. Estimators reading drawings by hand. Quoting from spreadsheets. Reformatting the same information into three different documents for three different people.

The first system we built — MillAI — targets commercial manufacturing. It reads architectural drawings and generates complete client quotes and production sheets in minutes, replacing a process that previously took an experienced estimator the better part of a day.

We are not a general AI consulting firm. Rather, we identify the most expensive manual processes in a specific trade, build a production system that eliminates them, and ensure it performs to the level we committed to. That is the entirety of what we do.

The Company

Structure

Founder-led

No outside investors. No advisory board. Decisions made by the person doing the work.

Model

Vertical AI

One system per problem. One industry at a time. No generic platforms.

Geography

US & Canada

Currently serving manufacturers across the United States and Canada, with global expansion underway.

"The trades have been underserved by software for decades. Not because the problems are hard — because the markets seemed too small to bother with. We disagree."

The fabrication trades collectively represent hundreds of billions in annual economic activity. Specialty contractors, custom manufacturers, and skilled tradespeople form the backbone of the built environment. They work from drawings, produce quotes, and manage production — mostly by hand, mostly using the same processes they used twenty years ago.

Alto's position is that every one of these trades has at least one process that AI can eliminate entirely — not augment, not assist with, but eliminate. We intend to find those processes, build systems that remove them, and do it trade by trade until the entire sector runs differently.

We start with upholstery. We move to millwork, tile, and metal fabrication. Each deployment teaches us something that makes the next one faster and better. That is the long-term plan.
