“The Lavoro Group, a leader in agricultural inputs in Latin America, is a key player in one of the largest acquisitions in agribusiness in recent years. The group has been utilizing SAP S/4HANA since 2020, marking the beginning of its partnership with Meta IT. Opting for a robust and reliable ERP aligned with the company’s values—Presence, Solidity, Modernity, and Trust—was crucial for the group’s growth plan, which includes acquiring other companies.

Agrozap was one of the companies integrated into the Lavoro Group, expanding its presence. With Agrozap being a market leader in its region, this association further strengthened the company’s footprint. Following the acquisition, the group collaborated with Meta IT for the rollout of the SAP S/4HANA project within Agrozap. Cristiane Flora, Lavoro’s Systems Manager, emphasizes, “The Lavoro Group identified SAP as a robust system with high reliability and integration—essential elements to ensure the company’s strong expansion and growth in recent years. With the arrival of Agrozap, it was natural to implement this system, considering the ERP’s strategic importance for the entire company.”

The partnership with Meta IT began with the implementation of SAP S/4HANA in 2020, and Meta IT has continued to provide support as AMS (Application Management Services) since then. When the Lavoro Group decided on the rollout, Meta IT was invited to the competition, and the already successful partnership was a crucial factor for this new phase. Cristiane states, “Meta has become our strategic partner in the IT area since the implementation of SAP in the group. Specialized and flexible, the Meta team is synergistic and brings a ‘business owner’s mindset’ to their projects, offering us the best and most modern solutions. Meta has been present and open, bringing innovative tools that meet our needs—a fundamental point for the project’s success.”

Flexibility is highlighted as a distinguishing factor appreciated by Meta IT’s clients. Jhonatan Ventorini, Meta IT’s Business Manager, explains, “A significant challenge regarding the specificities of the agricultural market, in general, is the implementation schedule, which often follows a different calendar from the traditional fiscal year. What makes Meta IT an ideal partner for such projects, be it rollout, implementation, or maintenance, is the ability to deliver the best market practices. We are experts in SAP implementation methodology and possess great adaptability to clients’ requirements, applying our expertise and ensuring the best experience.”
