Swiss retail cooperative operating SAP-centric supply chain and payroll infrastructure
Migros is Switzerland's largest employer and a cooperative retail network spanning 2M+ members across 10 regional divisions. The company is mid-stage in a SAP modernization arc—actively upgrading to S/4HANA and migrating to cloud (GCP/Azure), while simultaneously managing complex payroll processing for 16,600+ staff and implementing extended warehouse management across the supply chain. Engineering hiring is concentrated and recent, signaling active technical debt paydown and platform consolidation rather than greenfield growth.

Migros operates as a cooperative federation coordinating activities across regional grocers and managing centralized procurement, production, and subsidiary oversight. The organization runs a complex SAP environment supporting logistics (EWM, Transportation Management), finance (monthly payroll reporting), HR (SuccessFactors), and IT infrastructure (Cisco networking, ServiceNow ticketing). The business spans retail operations, food production, and corporate services—all headquartered in Zürich. Current focus areas include SAP cloud migration, payroll volume scaling, and supply chain process standardization across the 10 regional units.
Migros operates primarily on SAP (ERP, S/4HANA, BTP, Fiori, ABAP, EWM, Transportation Management), with supporting infrastructure in Microsoft (Azure, Fabric, Synapse, Office), GCP, Cisco (ISE, ACI), Confluence, ServiceNow, and Python.
