AI Backend & Integration Engineering

Production AI Infrastructure for Real Business Workflows

Inovativi builds AI backends, RAG systems, MCP/OpenAPI tool gateways, agent workflows, and integrations that connect enterprise data, legacy systems, and human operations.

The controlled execution layer that lets AI work safely with real business systems, documents, APIs, databases, and approvals.

Senior technical ownership and direct engineering accountability for enterprise teams across Europe and selectively in the US.

The production gap

Most AI prototypes never reach production

Models can reason. Demos can impress. What they cannot do on their own is act safely inside a real business — with permissions, validation, audit trails, and operational reliability. That is where most AI initiatives stall, and that is where Inovativi works.

  • Demos do not survive contact with real data, real users, and real systems
  • Agents need governed access to tools, not raw access to production
  • Backend reliability, retries, and audit trails are not optional in production
  • Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem deployment realities shape what is actually buildable

How AI reaches production safely

Business System → Gateway → AI Workflow → Approval → Audit

The same five steps run behind every Inovativi system: a real business system is exposed through a secure gateway, AI works only inside that controlled surface, sensitive actions pass a human approval gate, and every step is recorded.

What we build

Connected capabilities for production AI systems

Enterprise RAG, document intelligence, deterministic workflows, AI backend engineering, evaluation, computer vision, AI-assisted commerce, technical lab signals, and legacy modernization — delivered as one connected execution layer, not separate service lines.

Start with a productized first engagement

Enterprise MCP / OpenAPI Gateway Sprint

2–4 weeks · fixed scope

Our fixed-scope AI integration sprint

Expose one internal system safely to AI agents. We map a selected workflow or legacy system, design secure AI-callable tools, implement an MCP / OpenAPI / FastAPI gateway, and add authentication, permissions, validation, logging, and audit trails so AI can interact with real business systems under control.

  • Map one internal system — database, portal, ERP, CRM, or workflow
  • Design safe AI-callable tools with explicit input/output contracts
  • Implement an MCP / OpenAPI / FastAPI gateway
  • Authentication and tool-level permission checks
  • Structured logging and audit trail for every tool call
  • Error handling, validation, and deterministic safeguards
  • Documented code and deployment notes you keep
  • Optional demo workflow connected to an LLM or agent interface

Governance, safety & cost control

Controlled execution, not raw model access

Production AI systems need more than model access. They need controlled execution. We design AI workflows with permission-aware retrieval, tool-level RBAC, prompt-injection safeguards, PII handling, audit trails, approval gates, and deterministic validation before sensitive actions reach production systems.

Safety & governance

  • Tool-level RBAC and permission-aware retrieval
  • Prompt-injection mitigation and input sanitization
  • PII redaction and anonymization at the boundary
  • Approval gates before write actions
  • Audit logs for every tool call and agent action
  • Human-in-the-loop review for sensitive decisions
  • Deterministic validation before production writes
  • Fallback handling and error recovery

Cost control & token economics

  • Token budgets per request, per workflow, per tenant
  • Model routing — small models where they fit, large where they earn it
  • Semantic caching to avoid repeated work
  • Loop limits and circuit breakers on agent execution
  • Usage monitoring and cost dashboards or logs
  • Retry policies and dead-letter handling for failed jobs

We build AI workflows with cost visibility from the start: token budgets, loop limits, model routing, semantic caching, usage monitoring, and circuit breakers that prevent uncontrolled agent execution.

Data, documents & retrieval

Connect AI to the data your business already runs on

We connect AI workflows to enterprise data platforms, warehouses, databases, APIs, document stores, and legacy systems — including PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Databricks / Delta Lake, SharePoint, CRMs, ERPs, and internal portals.

Document & data pipelines

  • Structured extraction with schemas and validation
  • Data normalization across heterogeneous sources
  • Document parsing, OCR, and table extraction
  • Metadata enrichment and lineage
  • Ingestion, indexing, and incremental refresh
  • Audit-friendly operational data flows

Retrieval that holds up in production

  • Hybrid search — vector + keyword with metadata filters
  • Reranking and source-grounded answers with citations
  • Permission-aware retrieval and access control
  • Structured extraction alongside free-text answers
  • Graph-based relationships where they add real value

For complex document environments, we combine vector search, keyword search, metadata filters, reranking, structured extraction, and — where useful — graph-based relationships. We treat GraphRAG as one advanced pattern in the toolbox, not a default.

Portfolio pattern

From AI prototypes to operational systems

Inovativi's work spans enterprise AI backends, document intelligence, computer vision, AI-assisted commerce, procurement workflows, technical lab infrastructure, and legacy modernization. The common pattern is practical: connect AI to real data, real workflows, real users, and real operational constraints.

  • Turn documents, photos, signals, messages, and tenders into structured data
  • Build backend APIs, queues, integrations, and review workflows around AI systems
  • Combine automation with human validation where accuracy and trust matter
  • Support both internal product prototypes and client-facing delivery models

Why Inovativi

Why Teams Work With Inovativi

What buyers consistently get from working with a small, senior-led team that ships production AI systems.

Production systems, not demos

We build AI that runs every day inside real operations — with monitoring, retries, audit trails, and the boring engineering work that demos skip.

Messy data, messy systems

We understand enterprise documents and legacy systems as they actually exist — PDFs without structure, tables in scans, applications without APIs.

Backend + AI in one team

We combine backend engineering with AI workflow design, so the same team owns retrieval, orchestration, integrations, and the APIs underneath.

Auditability and human control

We design for evaluation, approval flows, and clear audit logs. AI proposes, humans confirm where it matters, and every step is recorded.

Start with a proof of confidence

A bounded first engagement validates the architecture on real data and real queries, with measurable evaluation criteria before scope expands.

Technically accountable delivery

Hands-on technical leadership stays close to architecture and implementation throughout the engagement — no hand-offs to a sales layer.
