About Ambev
Ambev is the largest brewer in Latin America and part of AB InBev, home to iconic brands like Brahma, Skol and Antarctica. Grupo Asa Norte carries that portfolio across the state of Piauí as one of its distributors, with more than 400 employees and six distribution centers. Its operation keeps shelves stocked in thousands of points of sale, with the scale, discipline and service level that one of the most valuable brands in the country demands.
The challenge
Purchases across six distribution centers needed quotes, approvals and visibility at every stage, and approvals could take days.
The solution
Grupo Asa Norte used Octapipe to automate procurement end to end, from the first quote to the final approval, with data flowing into Power BI. It went live in one month.
The results
The operation gained speed, traceability and control, with approvals now taking hours instead of days.
“We went live with Octapipe in one month, across our six distribution centers. Purchase approvals that used to take days now take hours, and purchasing got 80% faster. From the first quote to the final approval everything is traceable, and the data goes straight into Power BI.”
