What moltosenso does

Moltosenso s.r.l. is a privately held Italian ICT consulting firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Turin, operating across 10 reported locations in Italy. The company designs and delivers Business Intelligence, Big Data, IoT, and AI-enabled solutions with a specific vertical focus on waste management and circular economy operations for municipal clients, alongside general enterprise digital transformation engagements. Its proprietary product stack includes ITOI (an AI system that replaces periodic waste collection schedules with predictive, route-optimized collection), the Synopsis real-time BI and KPI dashboarding platform, the Cidiu4U iOS/Android citizen-communication app, and the PAYT (Pay As You Throw) algorithmic tariff engine, supported by three granted patents. The firm also acts as a specialized advisory for European and national subsidized finance, guiding clients through Horizon, LIFE, INTERREG, PNRR, and regional funding programmes, and has participated in 100+ EU-funded consortia across FP7, Horizon 2020, and POR FESR instruments.

The business model is project-based professional services plus productized modules. Engagements are won through a consultative direct sales motion initiated via the company website, scoped as multi-year contracts, and quoted per project rather than via standardized SaaS pricing. Revenue streams derive from ICT consulting fees (digital transformation, process optimization, BI deployment, waste-management solution implementation) and from subsidized-finance advisory fees attached to EU project lifecycles. Customer segments are hybrid: primary verticals are waste-management operators and municipalities (e.g., CIDIU, Volsca Ambiente, Regione Piemonte/Sicilia/Sardegna civil protection authorities), with secondary segments in European funding-seeking SMEs (e.g., Birrificio Baladin) and research institutions participating in R&D consortia (e.g., IIT-Politecnico di Torino, Environment Park, Hysytech).

The company operates with a 1-10 employee base, maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 27701 certifications, and conducts dissemination activities in Brazil, India, Mexico, and South Africa through its European project work. Distribution is anchored on a multilingual (Italian, English, French, Spanish) website with content marketing in Industry 4.0, circular economy, and EU funding topics. The firm has no disclosed external investors and is led by co-founder and CEO Marco Francesco Urso and CFO Andrea Merli, with co-founder Pasquale Saponaro also referenced.
