Multi-location home goods retailer optimizing warehouse and store operations
Lojasmel operates a 1,000+ person retail network across São Paulo with 30+ thousand SKUs distributed through convenience-positioned stores near transit hubs. The tech stack is operational (Google Workspace, Power BI, Tableau, WMS, ERP, SQL) rather than cutting-edge, and hiring is heavily sales-focused (47 of 63 active roles) while decelerating — suggesting mature store coverage with hiring shifts toward loss prevention (6 security roles) and backend optimization (WMS/ERP projects underway).
Lojasmel is a Brazilian home goods and general merchandise retailer founded in 1978, operating across São Paulo with over 30 thousand products across multiple store locations. The company positions stores adjacent to metro stations and parking facilities to serve high-density urban centers. Operationally, Lojasmel manages store networks, inventory distribution, and customer experience through a mix of Google Workspace analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and core retail systems (WMS, ERP). Current focus includes warehouse process automation, store layout optimization by consumption profile, and financial transformation initiatives, while addressing persistent operational challenges around shrink control, supplier data quality, and resource allocation.
