Italian furniture retailer scaling operations across 50+ stores
Dondi Salotti operates a retail-heavy furniture business with 50+ direct stores across Italy and a rapidly expanding headcount, now grappling with IT infrastructure and digital transformation challenges as the company scales. The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward sales and junior retail staff—reflects a store-expansion phase, while concurrent projects in HR systems, payroll, and security compliance signal internal operational strain typical of companies outgrowing their legacy processes.
Dondi Salotti is a privately held Italian furniture manufacturer and retailer founded in 2000, headquartered in Levata di Curtatone (Mantova). The company designs and sells sofas, armchairs, modular seating, and complementary furnishings through over 50 company-owned stores distributed across Italy. The product portfolio spans custom designs, relaxation pieces, corner configurations, and coordinated living-room solutions. The company maintains visibility through TV, radio, and digital media, and serves as an official partner of X-Factor Italia. In 2023, Dondi established the Dondi Salotti Academy in collaboration with Poli Design to train retail staff and develop internal talent.
Core tools include Odoo (ERP), Microsoft Office, iPad, PHP, Python, and JavaScript. Design workflows leverage Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects), Figma, and Google Web Designer for digital content and visualization.
