Modernizing Italy's national postal service with cloud-native technology
Poste Italiane, Italy's 160-year-old national postal service with 12,800+ locations and 120,000 employees, faced digital disruption. Their legacy mainframe systems couldn't support modern digital services like mobile banking, e-commerce logistics, and IoT-enabled package tracking. Customer satisfaction was declining as expectations shifted to Amazon-like experiences.
We designed and executed a comprehensive digital transformation spanning cloud migration, microservices architecture, IoT integration, and new digital customer experiences—all while maintaining operations across 12,800 locations.
Developed 5-year digital transformation roadmap. Designed cloud-native architecture on Azure with microservices, API gateway, and event-driven patterns. Prioritized customer-facing capabilities for quick wins.
Built Azure landing zones with GDPR-compliant architecture. Migrated first 20 applications using lift-and-shift and refactoring strategies. Established DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines.
Built mobile apps for iOS and Android with real-time package tracking. Implemented IoT sensors across logistics network. Launched digital banking services integrated with existing postal operations.
Created B2B e-commerce logistics platform for Italian retailers. Integrated with Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Built automated fulfillment and last-mile delivery optimization using AI.

Native iOS and Android apps with 4.6-star ratings. Real-time package tracking with push notifications, delivery preferences, and digital receipts. 8M+ downloads in first year.
18,000+ IoT sensors across vehicles and distribution centers. Real-time location tracking, temperature monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Reduced delivery delays by 45%.
Machine learning models optimize 25,000+ daily routes considering traffic, weather, and delivery priorities. Reduced fuel costs by €18M annually and improved on-time delivery to 94%.
Integrated banking services at 12,800 post offices. Mobile banking app with 2.5M users. Bill payment, money transfers, and savings products—all connected to postal network.
The transformation positioned Poste Italiane as a digital leader in European postal services. Customer satisfaction soared, operational costs dropped by €120M annually, and new digital revenue streams offset declining traditional mail volumes. The organization now serves as a model for digital transformation of legacy institutions.
