MD SpA operates one of Italy's largest supermarket networks (782 locations, 9,000+ staff, €3.7B annual revenue) on a foundation of SAP ERP, Oracle, and SQL — mature enterprise systems typical of large-format retail. Active hiring in data (ETL, warehouse development) and ops suggests selective modernization of analytics capabilities, while the project pipeline (store openings, renovations, maintenance scheduling) reflects a company focused on physical expansion and operational discipline rather than technology disruption.
