Argentine beverage manufacturer scaling digital operations and supply-chain analytics
Quilmes is a 130-year-old beverage producer operating 10 breweries, 2 malteries, and 7 distribution centers across Argentina, serving over 250,000 retail points. The tech stack reveals a data-centric operations org—heavy on BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, SQL) paired with infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, SAP)—while active hiring clusters around sales (4 roles) and manufacturing (3), suggesting a push to digitize go-to-market and production workflows. Current project focus on compensation analytics automation and sales-channel platform implementation signals internal friction between legacy manual processes and emerging digital capability.
