CatoriTech represents a new emerging force in the Italian iGaming landscape, with the mission of revolutionizing the sector through cutting-edge solutions, designed to offer unprecedented flexibility. Born to respond to the evolution of the market and the demand for more modern and dynamic platforms, CatoriTech provides concessionaires with advanced technology, that allows them to independently and efficiently manage every aspect of operations.
Domenico Mazzola, co-founder and Ceo, will explore the fundamental pillars of the company: innovation, flexibility and a business model that guarantees freedom and control.
Continuous innovation: microservices, Kafka and data management
“Innovation is at the basis of every single decision made in CatoriTech. In a sector as competitive as iGaming, where there are constant and fast changes, it is essential not only to keep up, but to anticipate trends”, Mazzola points out. “Our platform is built on a modern and flexible structure, based on independent microservices. This approach allows us to offer to concessionaires the possibility of managing each individual module of the platform as an autonomous entity, which means that updates and changes can be made in a targeted and fast way, without having to wait for the release of global versions, involving the entire system.”
This kind of structure guarantees unprecedented scalability and the ability to adapt to the specific needs of each operator. If a concessionaire needs to implement a new feature or improve an aspect of its operation, it can do it so much faster than with traditional monolithic systems, which require months of development and tests for any change.
“Another key technological element of our platform is the use of Apache Kafka. Kafka is a powerful tool for managing real-time data flows and allows us to ensure fluid and reliable communication between all the microservices of the platform,” the Ceo of CatoriTech continues. “Thanks to Kafka, we can process huge volumes of data and efficiently manage critical operations, even during the highest traffic peaks, ensuring that transactions are fast and reliable. This not only improves the overall player experience, but ensures that concessionaires can operate without interruptions, even in situations of biggest demand.”
One of the most significant innovations introduced by CatoriTech is the clear separation between the transactional database and the one for historical data. The transactional database is optimized to manage real-time operations, such as betting and financial transactions, ensuring that each operation is quickly and safely processed. On the other hand, the historical database is dedicated to the filing and analysis of large volumes of data. This distinction allows for high operational performance, preventing complex analysis of queries or reporting from slowing down daily operations. In a sector where speed and reliability are essential, this structure guarantees a significant competitive advantage.
Customizable dashboards: control in the hands of concessionaires
Then, Mazzola highlights: “In addition to the technological innovations that make our platform unique, one of the aspects most appreciated by our customers is the ability to completely customize the back-office dashboards. Each user can programm their own dashboard, by choosing the most relevant Kpis for their needs. Whether it’s monitoring betting volumes, player behavior, or the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, our platform allows concessionaires to have a clear, real-time view of their operations.
This customization not only improves operational efficiency, but also allows concessionaires to make more informed and strategic decisions, in a timely manner. Information is clearly presented, and each user can access the relevant data to their role, without having to rely on static reports or wait for data processing by third parties. This level of control is almost unique in the iGaming platform landscape and is one of the reasons why our customers choose CatoriTech.”
Remote work: an uncomparable competitive advantage
Another advantage that distinguishes CatoriTech is the completely remote working model. “This organizational structure allows us to attract and retain the best talent from all over Europe, creating a team that, despite operating remotely, collaborates in an effective and dynamic way. The variety of skills and cultures within our team allows us to address market challenges from innovative perspectives, ensuring cutting-edge solutions,” the company’s Ceo says. “Remote work also allows us to be extremely quick: without the limits of a physical location and with a significant reduction in operating costs, we can invest more in research and development, offering to our customers a platform that is always in agreement with the highest standards of technology and safety. Flexibility that translates into greater competitiveness on the market, allowing us to efficiently compete with much larger and more consolidated companies.”
The business model: freedom and independence for concessionaires
“Our platform is not just technologically advanced, but is designed to give concessionaires the maximum control over their business. Unlike many legacy platforms on the market, which impose strict limitations on concessionaires and long waiting times for updates, CatoriTech guarantees complete freedom of management. Concessionaires can customize the gaming experience, independently manage integrations and implement new features in a few days, instead of months,” Mazzola says.
“This innovative approach allows our clients to immediately reach to changing market needs and new regulations, maintaining a competitive advantage over their competitors. It is impossible for traditional rigid platforms to offer this level of flexibility, and this makes CatoriTech a winning choice for those who want to stay at the forefront of the iGaming sector.”
The evolution of the iGaming market in Italy
The Italian iGaming landscape is going through a phase of deep transformation, with the arrival of new regulations and a call for online concessions expected soon. “This evolution of the market could lead to a reduction in the number of operators, facilitating larger and well-structured concessionaires. However, for those who are able to adapt and exploit the opportunities offered by the new rules, there will be great opportunities for growth,” Mazzola points out.
CatoriTech “is ready to support Italian concessionaires in this transformation journey. Thanks to our flexible and scalable platform, we are able to quickly respond to new regulatory needs, helping our clients maintain their competitiveness in an ever-changing market.”
The Future of CatoriTech
Looking to the future, CatoriTech's goal is clear: to continue to innovate and expand its presence in Italy, Europe and South America, "becoming the reference technological partner for concessionaires who want to have complete control of their operations. We will further invest in research and development, to ensure that our platform remains at the forefront of the industry, offering increasingly high-performance and tailored solutions for our customers", the Ceo and co-founder ends. "CatoriTech is not just a technology provider, but a true strategic partner for concessionaires who want to face the challenges of the future with safety and independence."
