Introduction
Pizzoli S.p.A., a leading company in the production and transformation of frozen and fresh potatoes, has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability. In recent years, their investments in technology have helped them tackle the growing complexities in their logistics operations. Here, Miranda Dall’Olio, Logistics Manager at Pizzoli, shares insights into how the company leveraged CargoON’s digital platform to optimize logistics processes and improve operational efficiency.
The challenges in food logistics
“Logistics plays a strategic role, not only for Pizzoli but for every company in the food sector,” says Miranda Dall’Olio. For a company like Pizzoli, which handles both fresh and frozen products, logistics must be fast and efficient. The company recently expanded its operations with a new, state-of-the-art plant in San Pietro in Casale, Southern Europe’s largest French fries production facility. However, the growth in volumes presented a challenge in maintaining high logistical standards and operational efficiency.
To address these challenges, Pizzoli turned to CargoON’s Dock Scheduler, a solution designed to automate and streamline loading and unloading processes. This allowed Pizzoli to better allocate resources, reduce waiting times for trucks, and improve operational visibility.
Adopting new technology
Miranda explains that the transition to digital solutions was essential for Pizzoli’s continued growth: “We needed to automate some processes to support our expansion and maintain high-quality standards. Dock Scheduler seemed to be the ideal solution to optimize the planning of loading and unloading slots, improving both efficiency and resource allocation.”
Optimizing the supply chain with CargoON
Pizzoli’s experience with CargoON showcases how digital solutions can help to streamline logistics, particularly in the fast-paced food industry. By integrating CargoON, Pizzoli enhanced visibility over its operations, making it easier to respond to unexpected issues and adapt quickly to market demands. Additionally, the system’s automated communication features helped create a more collaborative environment with transport partners.
Looking ahead: digitalization as the future of logistics
Miranda concludes by emphasizing the importance of digital transformation for the future of the food industry: “Digital transition is essential for companies that want to meet future challenges, especially in our industry, where speed and efficiency are crucial. Innovating means not only increasing productivity but also making choices that support sustainable and transparent growth along the entire supply chain.”
Pizzoli’s approach highlights how technology can offer a support to tackle logistical challenges in a competitive and fast-evolving market. With the adoption of digital tools like Dock Scheduler, Pizzoli has set a solid foundation for continued growth, ensuring the company’s resilience and collaboration within its supply chain.
