As smart devices proliferate across operational environments — from sensors on factory lines and GPS trackers in logistics fleets to wearables in healthcare and connected systems in smart cities — the integration of Managed IoT (MiOT) is accelerating. But with it comes a surge in cybersecurity risks. No longer isolated or air-gapped, OT systems are becoming fully networked, remotely accessible, and deeply entwined with IT. This creates a vulnerable, highly complex digital mesh, one where a single compromised device can trigger physical, financial, and reputational consequences.

Puratos Enhances Customer and Employee Experiences with OutSystems
Puratos decided to look for a solution that would provide the company with limitless innovation while enabling it to keep up with the constant new developments in the food industry. Since adopting OutSystems, the platform has become a strategic technology in Puratos’ digital transformation.
"The versatility of the OutSystems development platform makes it possible to solve problems without limitations and innovate fast by lowering the technological threshold."
Based in Belgium, Puratos is a global manufacturing company that supplies bakers, pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and large industrial customers with cutting-edge services and ingredients.
Founded in 1919 as a father-and-son operation, the company has evolved into a successful international business focused on creating exceptional customer and employee experiences while positively impacting society. Regarding the latter, the company is determined to achieve sustainable water usage, waste reduction and carbon neutrality by 2025.
This way, when Puratos creates innovative food solutions for companies that put health and well-being first, it is also helping customers, people, and the planet grow sustainably.
To achieve this vision, the company monitors consumer opinion in several regions and cultures of the world. This requires Puratos employees to look for ways to exchange information with customers and partners at the right time, as the right solution at the right time can make all the difference.
Therefore, a flexible and robust IT environment is non-negotiable, and nothing should prevent rapid response to market developments.
That’s why Puratos decided to look for a low-code development platform. After a careful evaluation, the company chose OutSystems high-performance low-code platform and ForTrevo as its implementation partner.
Full-stack visual development with no limits
Powerful integration
Deliver public-facing web apps and portals“Choosing OutSystems and ForTrevo experts doesn’t just facilitate rapid, targeted development of new business applications; it also streamlines integration with current ERP, CRM, and content management systems.” - Olga DuarteCEO, ForTrevo
As Puratos’ Group ICT Digital Architects Manager and Customer Experience Applications Manager, Gerasimos Kouloumpis is intimately involved in application management and development. When asked why Puratos chose OutSystems to tackle its development needs, Kouloumpis highlighted the platform’s versatility:
“You can solve problems without restrictions. The development platform helps lower the threshold, technologically speaking, so we can focus on what matters to the business. That’s true for applications developed in OutSystems and solutions that integrate OutSystems with applications currently used in our complex business landscape. The result is a series of user-friendly solutions that align with the right business objectives.”
Since adopting OutSystems, Puratos has delivered several applications that ensure the company’s digital competitive edge.
The list includes:
Since adopting OutSystems, Puratos has reduced the lead time for innovation. Kouloumpis explained:
“Now, we can quickly create a Proof of Value (PoV) for certain functionality or applications and validate business ideas in the digital world. Imagine personalized baking solutions, for instance. Within a few weeks, we have a viable result and an application developed, tested, and validated. Business users are pleased by what IT can deliver. That’s partially attributable to the intuitive, accessible nature of the OutSystems development platform.”

The way it didn’t change the IT team’s way of working was critical to make OutSystems an instrumental platform in Puratos’ digital transformation journey.
Now, innovation isn’t held captive by a rigid IT environment; it’s validated and rolled out quickly. As for future customer and employee experiences, they’ll continue to become more and more tailored.
Digital Transformation is redefining the future of health care and health delivery. All stakeholders are convinced that these innovations will create value for patients, healthcare practitioners, hospitals, and governments along the patient pathway. The benefits are starting from prevention and awareness to diagnosis, treatment, short- and long-term follow-up, and ultimately survival. But how do you make sure that your working towards an architecturally sound, secure and interoperable health IT ecosystem for your hospital and avoid implementing a hodgepodge of spot solutions? How does your IT department work together with the other stakeholders, such as the doctors and other healthcare practitioners, Life Sciences companies, Tech companies, regulators and your internal governance and administrative bodies?
