About Franciosi Agro Group
In the heart of Brazil, a story of vision and entrepreneurship came to life with the founding of Irmãos Franciosi in 1986. Originating from a family's dream, the company blazed trails from Rio Grande do Sul to western Bahia, driven by the belief in the vast opportunities for agribusiness in the regions, as stated by Marco Gracindo, the group's head of technology:
“We are currently a group made up of 10 farms, planting around 130 thousand hectares, which in 2021 carried out an important transformation in its communication, becoming recognized as Grupo Franciosi Agro.”
Over the years, the company has become a true pillar of the economy of Luís Eduardo Magalhães. Thousands of jobs have been created, regional development has been boosted and prosperity has been brought to the city and its inhabitants:
“We are located in a strategic region in Brazil, Matopiba, which includes Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, where agribusiness stands out as a national force for innovation, productivity and investment.”
With a mindset focused on sustainable business growth, the partnership with Invent Software was essential to support us in the automation processes and evolution of day-to-day tasks, providing high performance and data reliability, from the farm to the office.
Challenges of the Franciosi Agro Group
However, as with any successful trajectory, challenges were present and it was necessary to develop an effective plan that would keep up with the exponential growth of the Franciosi Agro Group. The company needed to modernize its current systems to bring greater efficiency and reliability to the data generated and thus support the strategic growth planned in its vision and mission.
“The integrity of information, automation of processes and accelerated growth were fundamental points in the analysis for decision-making on our digital transformation journey.”
Therefore, it was essential to choose technological solutions capable of guaranteeing the integrity and security of the volume of data from operations, with speed and efficiency.
It was at this moment that the company chose Invent combined with a globally recognized “Sap Business One” Integrated Management System, and thus, we built this important business partnership.
