The challenge

As a leading wine producer, Tenute Piccini faces the constant challenge of preventing pest infestations that could compromise the quality of their products and disrupt their operations. The company needed a solution that offered real-time monitoring, quick response times, and compliance with the rigorous standards set by global clients. Additionally, they sought to align their pest control efforts with their sustainability goals, minimising the use of harmful chemicals and unnecessary interventions.

Why Tenute Piccini chose Rentokil’s PestConnect

Tenute Piccini chose Rentokil's PestConnect for its ability to deliver continuous, 24/7 monitoring and quick intervention when needed. This digital pest management system uses connected technology to monitor pest activity in real time, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly before they escalate.

Federico Calò, Quality Control Manager at Tenute Piccini, highlighted several reasons for partnering with Rentokil:

  • Professionalism and punctuality: Rentokil's technicians are always professional, attentive to detail, and ready to provide expert advice on solving pest-related issues.

  • Real-time monitoring: PestConnect allows for immediate detection of pest activity, ensuring that interventions are timely and effective.

  • Audit compliance: The system supports compliance with stringent quality protocols required by global clients, providing necessary documentation and evidence during audits through the myRentokil portal.

  • Sustainability: PestConnect aligns with Tenute Piccini’s sustainability goals by minimising technician interventions and reducing the use of bait and traps only when necessary. The system’s use of Dual Autogate devices and RADAR stations also ensures humane pest control, protecting non-target wildlife.

The results 

Since implementing PestConnect, Tenute Piccini has experienced several benefits:

  • Improved operational efficiency: The myRentokil portal has streamlined the audit process, making all necessary documents easily accessible, which has significantly reduced the time required to prepare for inspections.

  • Enhanced sustainability: Reducing physical interventions and selective use of bait has helped the company reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining effective pest control.

  • Increased compliance: The system has ensured that all production sites meet the demanding standards of large distribution groups in Europe and beyond, enhancing the company’s reputation in the global market.
