FMCG distributor scaling omnichannel sales and supply chain digitalization
Altipal is a Colombia-based fast-moving consumer goods distributor serving retail and wholesale channels with a 60+ year operational history. The tech stack reveals a wholesale business mid-digitalization: legacy ERP and WMS underpin operations, while React/Next.js/Node.js signal new digital sales surfaces (notably Surtiapp, a direct-to-consumer mobile channel). Hiring is overwhelmingly sales-focused (99 of 168 open roles), concentrated in junior/entry-level talent, indicating aggressive channel expansion and on-ground execution rather than organizational restructuring.
Altipal distributes mass-market consumer brands across Colombia, serving both traditional wholesale channels and modern retail formats. The company operates a supply chain spanning warehousing, inventory management, and last-mile logistics, supported by ERP (Dynamics 365), WMS, and BI tools (Power BI, BigQuery). Recent projects center on digital commerce (Surtiapp platform), sales incentive programs, and channel strategy—reflecting a transition from pure wholesale toward direct-to-consumer and self-service retail. The workforce of ~1,500 spans sales, logistics, operations, and finance, with active hiring concentrated in sales execution and logistics roles.
