North American lawn and garden products manufacturer and marketer
Scotts Miracle-Gro is a publicly traded consumer goods manufacturer operating across lawn care, garden, pest control, and landscaping categories. The tech stack reveals heavy ERP centralization (SAP S/4HANA adoption, SAP ECC migration, Control-M scheduling) paired with supply-chain and logistics optimization tools (JDA, Kinaxis, SAP EWM, SAP Transportation Management), indicating a manufacturing-operations-first organization managing complex inventory and production at scale. Active hiring is dominated by sales (320 roles) and manufacturing (81), with fewer than 30 engineering and data roles combined—a profile consistent with a traditional CPG player automating legacy processes rather than building software products.
