Hypermarket retailer with 69 stores across Malaysia, owned by C.P. Group since 2020
Lotus's Malaysia operates a 69-store hypermarket network across Peninsular Malaysia with ~9,000 employees, acquired by Thai conglomerate C.P. Group in December 2020. The tech stack is predominantly legacy enterprise (Oracle ERP, SAP, SQL, Power BI) with no active tech adoption or replacement underway — a pattern common in retail operations pre-digital transformation. Current hiring focus is operational (8 ops roles, 4 marketing) rather than technology-driven, and project velocity centers on promotional campaigns, inventory optimization, and compliance reporting rather than platform or systems work.
Lotus's Malaysia is a hypermarket operator running 69 locations throughout Peninsular Malaysia under the Charoen Pokphand Group, a multinational conglomerate with investments across 21 countries and economies. The company was formed when C.P. Group acquired Tesco Malaysia's business in December 2020, inheriting Tesco's store network, operations, and workforce. Organizational infrastructure includes one head office, two distribution centers, and a workforce of approximately 9,000 employees. Core business challenges center on inventory optimization, sales reporting accuracy, planogram compliance, and regulatory adherence (price controls, anti-profiteering regulations). Internal capability areas include financial forecasting, audit processes, and campaign management.
