Digitalizing the artisanal Italian dairy value chain: from customer pre-orders and just-in-time production planning to hands-free HACCP batch tracking and automated WhatsApp/Telegram customer pickup notifications.
Artisanal fresh cheeses—specifically spun-paste delicacies like mozzarella fior di latte, burrata, stracciatella, and ricotta—have an exceptionally brief peak freshness window. Traditional artisanal dairies (caseifici) face a chronic dilemma:
If they overproduce based on rough estimates, unsold product becomes food waste within 24 to 48 hours. If they underproduce, customers arrive to empty shelves. Furthermore, laboratory environments are damp and cheese-makers work with wet hands or protective gloves, making standard keyboard or delicate touchscreen POS interfaces impractical.
Mozz'App was created to bridge this gap by synchronizing customer pre-orders directly into an aggregate daily production schedule, providing cheese-makers with a hands-free laboratory dashboard, and notifying customers over WhatsApp and Telegram the instant their cheese is packaged.
A frictionless mobile-first catalogue where retail customers and restaurants place customized orders in advance.
High-contrast, large-button touch interface designed specifically for laboratory tablets, wet hands, and rubber gloves.
Countertop order management, real-time packaging verification, and automated customer messaging.
When cheese finishes spinning and packaging, staff click 'Pronto Ritiro'. An automated webhook fires instant notifications to the customer's phone with order details and pickup pin.
Eliminates raw material waste. Based on upcoming orders, the algorithm calculates the exact hectoliters of whole cow/buffalo milk required for pasteurization each morning.
Ensures food safety compliance with automated lot assignment, milk supplier batch linking, and temperature compliance archiving ready for sanitary inspections.
The solution is containerized with Docker and continuously deployed on Google Cloud Run in the europe-west1 region, delivering instant cold-start responsiveness, automatic scaling to zero when idle, and zero infrastructure maintenance.
