Pepco Tech Stack

European value retailer scaling store network across 18 markets

Retail Poznań, wielkopolskie 10,001+ employees Founded 2004 Privately Held

Pepco operates a 4,000+ store estate across Central and Eastern Europe, staffed by over 31,000 employees. The company is migrating to SAP (including SuccessFactors for HR systems), a significant infrastructure shift for a retailer of this scale. Store operations dominate hiring velocity, with sales roles representing 80% of active headcount — typical for retail but underscored by the volume of new-store-opening projects and inventory-management pain points that repeat in both their project and challenge lists.
