Carrefour migrated to SAP S/4HANA in just 3 months, ensuring an updated system for Black Friday, with better reliability and capacity to handle a greater volume of work

THE Mignow, a pioneering company in updating SAP systems, is revolutionizing the way companies approach the digitalization of their internal processes. As process automation such as RPA (Robotic Process Automation) becomes increasingly common, Mignow goes further by focusing on updating software systems, particularly in the context of SAP.

The digitalization of internal processes provides a series of benefits, including greater operational efficiency, reduced errors, increased productivity, improved security and an improvement in the quality of service provided to customers. These gains have a direct impact on organizations’ revenue.

Currently, RPA is widely used to automate repetitive digital tasks, saving time and resources. However, digitalization can go beyond this and extend to updating software systems such as SAP. By keeping these systems up to date, companies can enjoy better performance, improved efficiency, and a more responsive user experience.

Guilherme Joventino, COO and co-founder of Mignow, highlights the importance of keeping the organization's software up to date. He states that by keeping the system constantly updated, Mignow offers new functionalities that drive the digitalization of internal processes, including minor updates, such as fees and taxes that are calculated automatically, saving time and optimizing employees' work.

According to SAP research, process automation can significantly reduce the number of clicks (53%), screen changes (96%) and fields to be filled in (66%). This automation is directly related to RPA, which relieves employees of repetitive tasks.

Furthermore, RPA facilitates the creation of personalized internal processes, allowing companies to automate specific actions according to their needs. SAP offers more than 300 ready-to-use templates, further simplifying the automation process.

Joventino emphasizes the time savings when using Mignow software as a subscription service. Several customers have experienced faster migration, allowing them to realize the benefits of updated systems in a shorter time frame. Some cases that we can cite to illustrate this point are the migration of the construction company RFM, which occurred in just 18 days, and that of Carrefour, which migrated in just 3 months.

Carrefour's case was delicate as the company aimed to have the system fully updated before Black Friday. Paulo Henrique Farroco, CIO of Carrefour Brasil at the time, highlighted the agility in migration, while Jackson Borges, vice president of SAP Brasil, highlighted the reliability, support for greater volumes and modernization of the back office environment.

Paulo emphasized the speed of the migration: “With SAP S/4HANA, we carried out accounting and received sales data, generating invoices for MarketPlace partners. This provides recommendations based on the company’s history,” commented Paulo. Jackson Borges highlighted the notable benefits of the migration: “The migration to SAP S/4HANA brought notable benefits to Carrefour, including greater reliability, support for higher work volumes and modernization of the back office environment. Furthermore, the system prepares Carrefour for future growth through the Rise with SAP offering.”

Other advantages include reduced operating costs (30%), lower energy consumption due to cloud hosting (45%) and increased end-user productivity (up to 64%) with the new Fiori interfaces.

Mignow uses cutting-edge technology, including Artificial Intelligence, to facilitate its processes. The company aims to be a reference in updating ERP systems, including all software in this category.
