Brazil's largest building-materials cash-and-carry with 1,000+ employees
OBRAMAX operates Brazil's first dedicated cash-and-carry for construction materials, serving contractors and DIY buyers across small-to-large projects. The tech stack reveals a traditional retail-operations posture (SAP, VTEX e-commerce, BigQuery analytics, Looker dashboards) combined with emerging infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform). Sales-heavy hiring (210 roles) against minimal engineering (2 roles) reflects a store-first, digital-second strategy—consistent with their active projects focused on visual inventory management and stockout prevention rather than platform innovation.
