Diesel engine parts distributor with quality and supply-chain focus
Leão Diesel is a 60-year-old motor-vehicle parts distributor operating a classic supply-chain tech stack: SAP and TOTVS for enterprise resource planning, Power BI for analytics, plus modern data infrastructure (Spark, Hadoop, AWS, data lake). Active projects cluster around quality systems (SGQ), non-conformity monitoring, and continuous improvement—aligned with pain points in inventory control, order tracking, and operational cost reduction. The organization is sales- and operations-heavy with minimal engineering presence, suggesting technology is largely inherited and vendor-driven rather than custom-built.
Leão Diesel distributes diesel engines and components to the automotive sector, operating from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil since 1961. The company serves as a reseller of major engine and parts manufacturers, positioning quality assurance and customer service as core differentiators. With 201–500 employees split primarily across sales and operations, the business model is transactional distribution with an emerging focus on supply-chain digitization. Current initiatives span quality-management standardization, inventory optimization, and root-cause analysis for non-conformities—typical of mid-market distributors navigating cost pressure and fulfillment complexity.
