Retail São Paulo, SP 5,001–10,000 employees Founded 1996 Partnership

Fortbras operates as a multi-brand automotive parts retailer consolidating Brazil's fragmented regional market through 17 distinct store banners. The company is mid-transformation: actively adopting WMS, TMS, and ERP systems while leaning heavily on legacy tools (Protheus, SAP TOTVS) and spreadsheet workflows, suggesting infrastructure modernization is underway. Hiring skews operations and sales, with 172 roles posted in the last 30 days, but engineering and data teams remain micro-sized (5 and 8 headcount respectively), indicating digital acceleration is largely outsourced or early-stage.
