Pague Menos accelerates innovation with SAP S/4HANA

The project was delivered in just 4 months! (GO MIG!)

“The use of this tool allowed us to anticipate and resolve potential problems, combined with a strong methodology that provided us with efficiency and resource optimization,” notes Joaquim.

“Another feature of Mignow's execution model is effective task distribution, facilitating the work of everyone involved,” states Rômulo.

Implemented concurrently in the finance, supply, and administrative areas, the migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA aimed to be the foundation for future innovations that are in Pague Menos' plans; however, its benefits are already being realized.

“Everything was done at the ideal time for the migration to occur successfully and with complete security. The results are evident in the faster processing of information and generation of query reports, as well as in the integration with BI tools,” observes Eduardo Dias, Pague Menos' financial director.

Accessibility and scalability are highlighted by Pague Menos as key strengths of SAP S/4HANA.

These characteristics are in line with the company's objectives, which continuously invests in omnichannel, promoting complete integration between physical stores, website, app, marketplace, telesales, content platform, and partners, intensifying the strong synergy existing between all products and services of the Pague Menos Health Hub.

Pague Menos has over 20,000 employees!

“Live fully” is Pague Menos' purpose!

In 39 years in the market, the brand aims to bring citizenship and the best prices to all of Brazil. The Pague Menos Pharmacy Chain is the only pharmaceutical retailer present in all Brazilian states since 2009, with over 1,100 stores, 820 Clinic Farma units, and more than 20,000 employees. That gives you an idea of the scale, right?!

Rômulo Holanda and Joaquim Garcia spoke about the details that made this BIG project a benchmark case for Mignow.

“In December 2020, the Company was looking to consolidate its ERP, and for that, it was decided to invest in the SAP migration to utilize the new functionalities available in S/4HANA,” says Rômulo Holanda, Pague Menos' IT manager.

Joaquim Garcia, the network's VP of IT & Transformation, highlighted the use of Mignow as one of the key factors for the project – which, due to its size and complexity, would normally take up to 16 months – to be completed in just 4 months.

A WORD FROM: OUR CEO

According to Paulo Secco, Mignow CEO, one of the main challenges of the implementation at Pague Menos was the enormous number of variables involved, given that the network has a presence in all states of the federation and the Federal District, with over 1,100 stores. On the other hand, the strong engagement of the teams, starting with the C-level, made everything easier and smoother. “We noticed that the teams understood the importance of the project and were committed and motivated for everything to go well. This was a major differentiator,” he states.

NOW THAT'S A CASE STUDY!
