We are thrilled to announce that Factorial has officially acquired YepCode, a developer-first platform specialized in building, running and scaling AI-powered integrations. This strategic move strengthens our ability to deliver intelligent, AI-powered integrations across complex enterprise software environments.

Solving the Integration Problem at the Root

Enterprise companies run on fragmented software stacks, different ERPs, payroll systems, identity providers, and industry-specific tools. Building and maintaining individual connectors for each of them is slow, costly, and doesn’t scale. With YepCode, Factorial gains the infrastructure layer to change that.

YepCode’s platform enables teams to build, run, and scale integrations and automation workflows using AI-assisted code running in secure, sandboxed cloud environments with built-in dependency management, secrets handling, logs, and full audit trails. By integrating YepCode’s infrastructure, we’re shifting the paradigm toward agentic integrations, meaning that our AI agents will no longer just surface information, they will be able to autonomously orchestrate workflows across any platform.

“We’ve been making a bet that AI agents will do real work, not just surface information” says Jordi Romero, CEO of Factorial. “But agents are only as useful as what they can reach. YepCode is the infrastructure piece we’ve been missing: it lets our agents discover and orchestrate any integration autonomously, and lets our teams and partners build new connectors in hours rather than weeks”.

The Three Strategic Pillars of this Integration

The acquisition of YepCode powers three core capabilities that will transform how our clients and partners interact with the Factorial platform:

  • Agent-to-agent integrations via MCP. YepCode enables any integration to be exposed as an MCP tool, allowing Factorial’s AI agents, including ONE and Copilot integrations, to natively discover and orchestrate workflows. This positions Factorial at the forefront of the agentic integration paradigm, where AI agents communicate through standardized protocols rather than traditional API calls.
  • AI-powered custom integrations for enterprise clients. Factorial’s Forward Deployed Engineers will be able to deliver bespoke integration workflows for large enterprise customers at significantly higher speed, using AI-generated code running in secure environments, unlocking a level of customization that enterprise clients have been asking for.
  • Partner and marketplace connector development. By the end of 2026, Factorial’s partner network will be able to build and publish connectors to the Factorial marketplace using AI-assisted development on YepCode’s infrastructure, dramatically lowering the barrier to connector development.

Some of this capabilities are already live, with Factorial ONE currently integrating natively with Microsoft Teams and Copilot. This is already enabling HR workflows directly from where employees already work. The YepCode acquisition will significantly deepen and expand those capabilities.

Investing in Talent: Factorial's New Engineering Hub in Galicia

This acquisition goes far beyond technology: we’re betting on talent, and we are officially establishing a new Factorial engineering hub in A Coruña, Galicia. Founded in 2021 by Marcos Muíño García, Felipe Peña Pita, and Cesar Suárez, YepCode is headquartered in Oleiros, A Coruña. The full team, Marcos Muíño, Santiago Castro, Álvaro Gómez Traveso, and Sergio Rodríguez Seoane joins Factorial as part of the acquisition. Marcos Muíño will take on the role of Engineering Director to lead this transition.

We currently have approximately ten senior engineers in the region and plan to triple the size of the Galicia team throughout 2026. As Jordi Romero puts it: “A Coruña has serious engineering talent, and we’re glad to be investing in it“.
