For established coffee roasters, the real differentiating factor today is the ability to manage coffee machines on loan, turning a set of assets from a cost centre into a strategic lever for managing customers, the sales network and margins.<\/p>\n<p>In a market where operating costs and raw material prices are rising and margins are shrinking, many coffee roasters are facing increasingly complex challenges in sales, logistics, technical service and process control. This is why customers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/aton.com\/en\/case-studies\/segafredo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Segafredo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aton.com\/en\/case-studies\/hausbrandt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hausbrandt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aton.com\/en\/case-studies\/caffe-vergnano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caff\u00e8 Vergnano<\/a> and other industry leaders <strong>have chosen Aton<\/strong> to improve their commercial processes and increase sales force productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Among the different application modules in <a href=\"https:\/\/aton.com\/en\/one-software-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.one<\/a>, the one attracting particular market interest is the application that provides a single, up-to-date and reliable view of the entire lifecycle of coffee machines on loan: installation, usage, maintenance, return, reallocation or replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Designed over decades of close collaboration with leading Italian coffee roasters, the solution makes it possible to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>track every asset installed at customer sites in a structured way, with a complete history<\/li>\n<li>collect and integrate operational data from the field, including technical interventions, usage and machine status<\/li>\n<li>orchestrate technical service, logistics and commercial processes on a single platform<\/li>\n<li>support decisions based on real data, aligning commercial choices, loan policies and the economic sustainability of each customer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Sales Management, this means finally being able to treat machines on loan as an integral part of the customer development strategy: understanding which machines truly support volume growth and which, instead, absorb resources without generating a return.<\/p>\n<p>The real turning point is not simply digitalising service reports, but <strong>building a profit and loss account for each individual customer<\/strong>. This allows the company to understand the real profitability of every point of sale, taking into account consumption, maintenance costs, technical interventions and installed equipment. Without this level of detail, companies are left with aggregated averages by area or region, which are not effective enough to support targeted operational and commercial decisions.<\/p>\n<h2>Hyper-depreciation 4.0: the tax incentive accelerating digital transformation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">How can coffee roasters benefit from incentives dedicated to digital transformation?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We asked<strong> Francesca Rossett<\/strong>o, Innovation &amp; Development Manager and Smart Factory Manager at <strong>F\u00f2rema<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/aton.com\/en\/one-software-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.one platform<\/a> makes it possible to centralise and digitalise the company\u2019s commercial, logistics and information processes within a single integrated ecosystem, ensuring native interconnection with ERP and other business systems, monitoring of the supply chain and operational performance, as well as the use of advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence capabilities. This makes it an enabling platform for the digital transformation of processes according to Industry 4.0 principles.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, investing in advanced software represents a concrete opportunity to strengthen competitiveness and maximise economic return, with a <strong>tax benefit<\/strong> that can<strong> reach up to 43% of the cost of the solution.<\/strong> It is a path that allows companies to combine growth, efficiency and sustainability, while also making the most of the extraordinary financial instruments provided by the current regulatory framework for solutions such as .one, available to customers under a perpetual licence.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A choice focused on the future of coffee roasters<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In a context where operational efficiency, sustainability and cost control are critical factors for competitiveness, adopting .one means making a strategic choice: digitalising in order to sell more and sell better, while also taking advantage of the opportunities offered by subsidised finance.<\/p>\n<p>Aton supports coffee roasters not only by providing technology and strategic commercial consultancy, but also by helping them choose a specialist partner for access to <strong>hyper-depreciatio<\/strong>n, thanks to its consolidated experience in similar projects.<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom_button\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"dropbtn mx-auto _slim\" title=\"Discover how to increase the ROI of your machine fleet\" target=\"\" ><div class=\"dropbtn_content\">Discover how to increase the ROI of your machine fleet<\/div><div class=\"dropbtn_drop\"><i class=\"sn_sprite _button_drop \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 147 64\"><use xlink:href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/aton\/assets\/images\/icons.svg#button-drop\" \/><\/svg><\/i><\/div><div class=\"dropbtn_spacer\"><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the coffee industry, competition is no longer based solely on brand and blend quality.
