Canadian tire distributor modernizing supply chain and financial planning on SAP
Groupe Touchette is Canada's largest tire distributor, operating across 1,000+ employees with deep roots in logistics and real-estate management. The company is mid-transformation: actively implementing SAP IBP for demand planning while building out data analytics (Python, SQL, Pandas) and financial dashboards to replace manual Excel workflows. Logistics hiring (27 open roles) paired with a Finance Director placement and FP&A efficiency projects signal a push to automate planning and gain real-time visibility into a complex, multi-site distribution network.
Notable leadership hires: Finance Director
Groupe Touchette has led Canadian tire distribution since 1979, moving from a single operation to a multi-site enterprise spanning logistics, retail, and real-estate portfolios. The business serves regional and national accounts across Canada, relying on a large operations and logistics footprint (50+ headcount in those functions). Internally, the company is executing a financial and supply-chain modernization: SAP ERP and IBP implementations are underway, new forecasting models are in development, and teams are consolidating fragmented tools (Excel, manual processes) into integrated planning systems. The hiring mix reflects this transition—heavy logistics and operations roles alongside finance and analytics hires.
SAP ERP, SAP IBP, SAP SuccessFactors, Power BI, Tableau, Python, SQL, and DynamoDB, supported by Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook) and project management tools (Microsoft Project, Procore, Yardi).
