Multi-format food retail and wholesale operator across six Brazilian states
Grupo Pereira operates a diversified food retail footprint—supermarkets, wholesale cash-and-carry, and pharmacies—across 76+ locations in Brazil with ~14,000 employees. The tech stack is operationally grounded (SAP EWM, WMS, Power BI, SQL, Python) but shows minimal modern adoption or infrastructure investment; hiring is heavily junior-skewed (86% of roles) and concentrated in sales (53%) and logistics, suggesting a traditional retail model scaling headcount rather than automation. Current projects focus on loss prevention, food safety, and compliance—core pain points for perishable-heavy, multi-location operations.
Notable leadership hires: Customer Service Lead, Production Lead
