SAP-centric agricultural trading and logistics operator in Brazil
Sipal operates a complex, multi-state agricultural business anchored on SAP S/4HANA, with active investment in API-first integration and modern frontend modernization (SAP Fiori, ABAP RAP). The hiring surge skews heavily toward finance and sales roles rather than engineering, even as the company executes a digital transformation program—suggesting growth is driven by market expansion and operational complexity rather than platform innovation.
Notable leadership hires: SAP Lead, SAP Technical Lead
