Ecotest

What Ecotest does

Ecotest S.r.l. is an Italian professional services and compliance SaaS firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Rubano (Padova), Italy. The company delivers consulting across four practice areas: environment, workplace safety, quality/design certifications, and architectural/engineering design. Its target clients are Italian industrial and commercial businesses, public institutions, and educational organizations that must navigate complex domestic regulations including D.Lgs 152/06 (environmental) and D.Lgs 81/08 (workplace safety), along with ISO 9001/14001/45001 management system certifications and AIA/AUA environmental authorizations. The firm reports serving more than 1,000 companies distributed across nearly the entire national territory, including a documented cluster of over 70 schools in Padova province.

The company's core proprietary asset is Ecogestione.net, a cloud-based compliance management platform accessible via any web browser with no local installation. It comprises two modules: Ecogestione Sicurezza for workplace safety document management, training record tracking, and medical examination scheduling; and Ecogestione Ambiente for waste accounting registers, MUD declaration preparation, and environmental compliance tracking. The platform sends automated email alerts for document and training expirations, integrating with ongoing consulting engagements rather than operating as a standalone SaaS product. Ecotest is also ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, and 45001:2018 certified, and maintains qualified training classrooms for in-person and video-conference courses covering RSPP, fire safety, first aid, and hazardous materials handling.

Revenue is generated through three recurring streams: (1) multi-disciplinary consulting contracts for environment, safety, quality, and design services; (2) SaaS subscriptions to Ecogestione.net (the Sicurezza module is provided free to clients holding active safety consulting contracts, indicating a services-led land-and-expand motion rather than a pure-SaaS model); and (3) fee-based training courses delivered in-person or via videoconference. The firm employs approximately 15 staff including three founders still active in leadership (Stefano Zamborlini as President, Marco Barragato as Managing Director, Giuseppe Piva as founder), operates from a single Rubano office, and is privately held with no external institutional investors or parent company.

Core offering

Ecotest provides recurring professional consulting services in four areas: environment (environmental permits, waste management compliance, emission authorizations, environmental impact assessments), workplace safety (D.Lgs 81/08 compliance, risk assessment, RSPP services, fire prevention), design/engineering (architectural design of industrial plants, construction supervision, building permits), and quality certifications (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 implementation). The company supplements these services with a proprietary cloud-based SaaS platform (Ecogestione.net) for document and deadline management and a training course catalogue covering workplace safety and environmental topics.

Product overview

Ecotest offers Ecogestione.net, a unified web-based SaaS platform for business compliance management. The platform consists of two main modules: Ecogestione Sicurezza for workplace health and safety document management, training tracking, and medical examination scheduling; and Ecogestione Ambiente for environmental and waste accounting, MUD declarations, and regulatory compliance. Both modules are accessed entirely through a web browser with no local installation required. Ecotest also provides professional consulting services in environment, safety, quality, and design, as well as training courses across these domains.

Broad incumbents

• Intelex Technologies: Established EHS/ESG SaaS platform serving global enterprises with environmental, health, safety, and quality management modules. Comparable to Ecogestione.net in scope but targets larger enterprise clients and offers deeper analytics and integrations.
• TÜV Italia (TÜV SÜD / TÜV Rheinland): Italian operations of German TÜV testing and certification groups, providing ISO, environmental, and safety audits. Overlaps with Ecotest's certification practice but serves larger enterprise clients and offers broader testing infrastructure.
• DNV Italy: Italian arm of global assurance company DNV, offering ISO certifications, environmental and safety management systems consulting. Competes with Ecotest in the EMS/OH&S consulting market in Italy, but with deeper international brand recognition and broader service scope.
• Bureau Veritas Italia: Italian subsidiary of global TIC leader Bureau Veritas, providing environmental compliance, HSE consulting, and ISO certification services. Directly overlaps with Ecotest's environment and safety practice areas but operates as part of a much broader international portfolio.
• RINA Services: Italian-origin testing, inspection and certification giant offering environmental, safety, and quality certification services across multiple industries. Comparable to Ecotest because it provides the same ISO 9001/14001/45001 implementation and EMS consulting in Italy, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• SGS Italia: Swiss-based global TIC leader's Italian subsidiary, offering environmental, safety, and quality certification services. Comparable to Ecotest in service offering but operates at much larger scale with multinational client reach.

Direct peers

• Ecoentity (or similar Italian EHS boutique): Smaller Italian environmental and safety consulting firms serving SME clients with regulatory compliance services. Closely comparable to Ecotest in headcount, scope (environmental permitting, waste, safety), and target customer (Italian SMEs and schools).
• Quentic: Germany-based EHS software platform serving mid-market companies across Europe with modules for occupational safety, environmental management, and compliance. Directly comparable to Ecogestione.net in functionality and target segment, though Quentic operates as a software-only vendor without bundled consulting.
• Italcertifer / Italcert: Italian certification and inspection body providing ISO, environmental, and safety services. Most directly comparable peer in scale and Italian market focus to Ecotest's certification practice area.

Emerging players

• Optera (EHS software): Sustainability and EHS software platform focused on carbon, environmental, and safety management for mid-market companies. Comparable to Ecogestione.net's environmental module with a more modern cloud architecture and sustainability emphasis.
