WHO WE ARESince 2004, Progettica-Accelerators of Growth has been the consultancy of choice in the Horeca.
Progettica is a consulting firm for businesses operating in the Out of Home channel. Our clients are the large branded industry, distributors, organized food service operators, and investment funds. We have specific skills, knowledge, data and methods for a market as complicated as Away From Home is; we also support medium-sized companies on more general issues. We assist realities aimed at the Italy market and -thanks to a network of local correspondents- also at numerous European and non-European countries, thanks to our ability to interpret the peculiar phenomena of the horeca.
Progettica, un nome che fonde in sé Progettazione e Strategia.
We believe that doing business is generating value for the remuneration of labor, invested capital and for the human fulfillment of people.
We are growth accelerators.
Our name sounds like us: we support companies with concreteness and helping them realize projects; we help our clients at the strategic and operational level: we are business men and women and we know the difference between slides and practice.
We assist production and distribution companies to read the market and enter it or reorganize it, reengineer processes, develop products, define and plan strategies, internationalize, implement new projects, optimize functions, change competitive positioning, update the organization. We work for large companies, and meet the quality standards of multinationals, but also with many medium-sized companies, and we know and admire the flexibility of Italian entrepreneurship and management.
The experiences, skills, data and concreteness you need in two specialized business units: Industry and Distribution.
We are a team of about 20 senior professional profiles, including consultants and researchers, from the corporate world. We bring a wide range of experience gained in FMCG both in Italy and abroad, from the industry and distribution side.
Established in 2004, we are now organized into two business units: industry and distribution. Over the years we have built the two main databases in Beverage and Food, with exclusive quali-quantitative dimensions; we are able to provide market numbers with unique speed and depth, and to help our clients read and use them with maximum actionability. We have also built Ristochain, the most comprehensive and in-depth database in the organized foodservice world, and we help our clients adequately address the challenges of the modern horeca
We are skill integrators: we have a significant network of experts that we can activate on specific needs.
