Astrolabio Cooperativa Sociale

What Astrolabio Cooperativa Sociale does

Astrolabio Società Cooperativa Sociale is a Type A social cooperative (nonprofit) founded on 7 May 1987 in Latina, Italy, by a group of young doctors engaged in volunteering. It provides social, socio-educational, and socio-health services across the Lazio region — primarily the province of Latina and, more recently, the RM 6.4 district (Pomezia, Ardea). Service lines span family support, early childhood, day centers for people with disabilities, home care, migrant reception, housing-first programs, street outreach for addiction prevention, and emergency social intervention. The cooperative reports 358 engaged operators, 913 users assisted, 70 services delivered, and 21 commissioning public entities (Regione Lazio, ASL, Distretti Socio Sanitari, and multiple Comuni).

Astrolabio generates revenue almost entirely through commissioned public-sector contracts secured via public procurement and direct tenders with municipalities, health districts, and regional authorities, supplemented by 5x1000 tax-designation donations. It distinguishes itself from peer cooperatives through its proprietary web-based management platform BODB-GESCOOP, developed in-house to handle users, operators, contracts, attendance, payroll, invoicing, and reporting. The platform integrates natively with the Zucchetti payroll suite, processing monthly timesheets in 15–30 seconds, and includes GPS-geolocated attendance modules with legally valid electronic signature/timestamping. Beyond software, Astrolabio packages proprietary methodologies — Modello EDU-LAB, Progetto LAB.IN.ARTE, Comunicazione Aumentativa Alternativa, and Il Grande Carro — that codify its field experience into replicable service protocols.

The business model is fundamentally institutional rather than commercial: there is no disclosed pricing, no GTM marketing function, and no external capital. The cooperative is governed under Italian Law 381/1991, owned by its worker-members, and operates as a long-tenured commissioned provider rather than a market-driven enterprise. Distribution occurs through nine physical locations across Latina, Fondi, Velletri, Cisterna di Latina, Terracina, Pomezia, and Ardea, plus mobile street units. Strategic and operational affiliations include LegaCoopSociali (since founding) and the Federazione Italiana degli Organismi per le Persone Senza Dimora (FIopsd).
