Iper La grande i operates 27+ hypermarkets across Italy with 5,001–10,000 employees, running on legacy SAP ECC now migrating to SAP S/4HANA—a multi-year modernization signaling infrastructure investment. Hiring skews heavily toward ops (192 roles) and sales (162), with junior-level dominance (351 of 426 active roles), typical of retail estate expansion. The company's tech footprint reveals a traditional enterprise retail stack (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft 365, VMware), with emerging social-media channels (Instagram, TikTok, Meta) indicating nascent digital-customer engagement efforts.
