Unified processes through growth
With rapid expansion in recent years, Empresas SIM, a leader in the fuel and lubricant sector, rebranded as Argenta and embraced SAP S/4HANA to ensure scalability, data security, and seamless integration across its growing ecosystem of companies.
Founded nearly 40 years ago, Argenta has expanded its portfolio since 2018 by launching new companies and acquiring others such as Querodiesel, Charrua, and Aiva. SAP S/4HANA emerged as the ideal platform for consolidating these businesses.
“As new people and processes joined, we recognized the need to centralize everything in one place. Despite the challenges, it was time to make this change,” shared Bruno Soares, Executive Director of Querodiesel.
A reliable platform for growth
For Argenta’s Director of Technology, Innovation, and Processes, Cleidi Soberansky, SAP S/4HANA has already become the group’s “safe vault,” offering unmatched security and fiscal reliability.
“While we operate similar areas within the group, we deal with distinct fiscal requirements and compliance standards. SAP gives us the security and assurance we need,” explained Soberansky.
According to Chief Financial Officer Antonio Praxedes, the ERP also provides the structure Argenta needs for sustainable growth. “SAP offers a platform connected to the latest technologies, supporting growth for the next 10 to 15 years,” he stated.
Finding the ideal partner
After selecting the right ERP solution, Argenta needed an implementation partner that understood its unique challenges. “With significant expansion in recent years, we sought a partner who could align with our needs. Meta IT was the ideal choice,” noted Bregoli.
Meta IT’s commitment to understanding Argenta’s processes was key to the partnership’s success. “We took the time to engage deeply with the business, speaking with both executives and operational teams. This approach allowed us to deliver the security Argenta needed,” said Roberto Certo, Business Director at Meta IT.
The agility of Argenta’s operations made SAP S/4HANA with the Rise cloud solution the perfect fit. “It lets us scale quickly, adjust processes efficiently, and integrate new businesses seamlessly,” added Soberansky. Meta IT’s implementation brought simplicity, accelerated business processes, and supported the company’s digital transformation.
Celebrating success
“The implementation of SAP S/4HANA is a milestone worth celebrating because the company never stopped growing throughout the project. We managed this transformation while maintaining all group operations,” highlighted Felipe Portugal, Executive Director at SIM Fuel Distributor.
Looking ahead, Bregoli envisions a solid future for Argenta: “With a streamlined and connected foundation aligned to best practices, each business can grow more efficiently and effectively.”
