From a warehouse project in 1996 to a complete business software ecosystem
LibertyCommerce began as a management application created for a chain of computer stores in the Genoa area. Over the years it evolved from a focused inventory and invoicing tool into a broader platform for stock, sales, customers, suppliers, orders, documents and connected business operations.
The story of the product, not just the company behind it
Who we are tells the story of Liberty Line, the software company. This page focuses instead on how LibertyCommerce itself evolved: where it started, how distribution changed and how the software grew into the current International Edition.
That distinction is important because LibertyCommerce is no longer just a single warehouse program. It is the core of an ecosystem that connects business-management functions with mobile apps, devices and the restaurant-oriented solution Comanda Facile.
How LibertyCommerce evolved
The original page contains several useful historical details. They are preserved here, but reorganised into a clearer timeline.
The first project
LibertyCommerce was created for a company in the Genoa area. The initial software focused mainly on warehouse and invoicing management for a chain of computer stores.
Free distribution
An early version was distributed free of charge for more than a year, including through CDs attached to Italian computer magazines.
Commercial release
After the introduction of the euro, LibertyCommerce moved to a paid version and began a new stage of commercial development.
Continuous expansion
Distribution increasingly moved online while the interface, warehouse functions and business workflows continued to expand.
International ecosystem
LibertyCommerce now combines core business management with apps, connected tools and a dedicated restaurant solution.
Warehouse management remained at the centre of the project
The current historical page explicitly identifies warehouse management as one of LibertyCommerce’s strongest areas. That focus still makes sense today because inventory connects many of the operations handled by the software.
Product
Create and organise items, codes, descriptions, prices and product information.
Stock
Track quantities and availability as goods enter, move and leave the business.
Sale
Use product information during retail and commercial sales workflows.
Document
Connect products and customers to quotations, orders and business documents.
Analysis
Use the resulting operational data to understand stock and business activity.
More than inventory and invoicing
Inventory & Stock
Products, quantities, categories, availability and warehouse operations remain a core part of the platform.
Warehouse ManagementSales
Daily sales and point-of-sale activities can work with the same product and stock information.
Business ManagementCustomers & Suppliers
Business contacts are organised as operational records connected to commercial activities.
Software ManagementDocuments
Business documents become part of the same workflow instead of living in completely separate archives.
Document ManagementBarcode Workflows
Barcode identification helps simplify product handling, warehouse operations and sales.
Barcode LabelsConnected Tools
Apps and devices extend selected workflows beyond the main management application.
LibertyScanApps, mobile tools and restaurant workflows around the core platform
The old page already described LibertyCommerce as more than a single software package. Today that idea is better expressed as a connected ecosystem: the main application remains the operational centre, while specialised tools extend selected workflows.

Explore Comanda FacileA multilingual business environment for markets outside Italy
LibertyCommerce International is presented on this website for businesses that want to use the software outside the specifically Italian commercial context. The focus is therefore on inventory, sales, customers, suppliers, orders, documents and operational workflows.
The International Edition is designed for multilingual use. Because exact languages and functions may depend on the configuration and release, they should be confirmed for the version a business plans to deploy.
