Fishermen in Moldova and Romania finally have their own social network, and it's smarter than you think. 🎣

iPescuit maps 3,000+ fishing spots, private lakes, public waters, local shops, with real photos, up-to-date regulations, and a built-in marketplace where anglers buy and sell gear directly with each other. Whether you're a weekend hobbyist or a seasoned pro, your next fishing spot is one tap away.

This is one of three apps built by Innova Technologies, a startup founded in 2024 with a clear mission: develop smart, niche digital products for Moldova, Romania, and beyond.

Their other two platforms are equally ambitious.
💥Ristori Home - bringing the entire real estate ecosystem together: properties, agents, developers, architects, and interior designers, all in one AI-powered app with voice search and real-time scheduling.
💥 Ristori Events - connecting venues, artists, catering, photographers, and decorators in a single platform built for a market of 90,000+ service providers across Romania and Moldova.

Three apps. Three industries. One team.

We're proud to have Innova Technologies as part of the MITP community, a perfect example of what happens when bold ideas meet the right ecosystem.💡

Anyone who's run a business in Moldova knows the feeling. Bureaucracy eating up time that should go into actually growing the business. That frustration is exactly what pushed Intelect Soft to build something better. 💡

IsFiscalCloud is a digital fiscalization solution built by a team that's been living and breathing IT, fiscalization, and Android tech since 2008. 💻

Here's the simple part: any Android device - a phone, a tablet, even a PC becomes a fully functional fiscal cash register in seconds. ⚡️ No extra hardware to buy, no complicated setup. It all just runs in the cloud. 📱

Every sale gets processed on the spot, the fiscal receipt is generated instantly, and it's automatically sent to the authorities. NO manual steps. NO stress. 🔐

And it doesn't stop at fiscalization. IsFiscalCloud connects into a full ecosystem: inventory, sales, payments, fiscalization, even customer communication, so business owners can finally see everything in one place: stock, prices, reports, receipts, promotions. All in real time. 📊

It's already trusted by retail, HoReCa, and service businesses across Moldova, and IntellectSoft is now bringing it to Romania too. 🇷🇴

We're proud that Intelect Soft, one of our MITP residents, is making fiscalization simple, digital, and finally, actually easy. 🚀
