Regional pharmacy chain scaling digital commerce and omnichannel operations across Brazil
Drogaria Araujo is the largest pharmacy network in Minas Gerais with 300+ physical stores and a century-old retail footprint, now operating digitally nationwide. The tech stack—.NET Core, SQL Server, Azure, AWS, Kafka, and Flutter—reflects an enterprise retail architecture built for omnichannel fulfillment. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (281 roles) and healthcare roles (58), with sparse engineering (26) and data (11), indicating a sales-and-operations-driven organization scaling headcount faster than platform capability—a pattern typical of regional retailers automating legacy processes (n8n adoption, process digitalization projects) while battling inventory shrinkage and compliance bottlenecks.
