Omnichannel grocery retailer across Colombia's Caribbean coast and Bogotá
Megatiendas operates 34 physical stores across four Colombian regions with an omnichannel platform built on React/Redux, Express.js, FastAPI, and VTEX — a modern e-commerce stack layered atop SQL Server and MongoDB. Active projects center on preventive maintenance, continuous improvement, and food safety compliance, while pain points cluster around distribution optimization, stock rotation, and operational efficiency — classic signals of a retailer scaling fulfillment infrastructure without yet investing in next-gen supply-chain tooling.
Megatiendas is a Colombian grocery chain founded in 2003, operating 34 stores across Bolívar, Atlántico, Magdalena, and Bogotá. The business spans fresh produce, meat, bakery, beverages, health products, and general merchandise. The company runs a web-based ordering platform (MegaDomicilios) for home delivery alongside physical retail. With 1,001–5,000 employees and a lean engineering team, the organization is structured around operations, logistics, and store-level functions.
React, Redux, Material-UI for frontend; Express.js and FastAPI for backend; SQL Server and MongoDB for data; VTEX for e-commerce; Docker, NGINX, and Linux for infrastructure; Git for version control; Google Analytics for tracking.
