Cosmetics manufacturer scaling cloud infrastructure and supply-chain automation
Grupo Boticário operates four beauty brands across Brazil and exports, with 5,700+ employees managing manufacturing, distribution, and direct-to-consumer channels. The tech stack reveals infrastructure-first maturity: multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) with Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), paired with SAP and emerging adoption of Crossplane and Backstage. Sales hiring (242 active roles) vastly outpaces engineering (77), indicating a company scaling commercial operations faster than product velocity—a pattern common in CPG distribution-led growth.
Grupo Boticário manufactures and distributes personal care and fragrance products through four owned brands: O Boticário, Eudora, quem disse, berenice?, and The Beauty Box. The group sells through retail, direct channels, and a reseller network across Brazil and internationally. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná, the company is privately held. Beyond commercial operations, the organization runs a separate foundation focused on environmental conservation and regularly ranks among Brazil's best employers for culture and career development.
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The stack includes Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform for infrastructure management, and services like AWS Lambda and Serverless Framework for application deployment.
Active projects include SAP integration, factory floor OT security solutions, inventory optimization, and MPDV (multi-plant demand planning) implementation. Pain points focus on inventory accuracy, stockouts, product expiration losses, and storage efficiency.
