Inetum announced the successful implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition at Gleba, a Portuguese retail company. This is the latest Inetum project supporting national businesses in consolidating Cloud as an essential pillar for sustainable growth.

Gleba, which operates a network of more than 20 stores, was facing the challenges inherent to expansion: increasingly complex, manual, and fragmented back-office processes that limited agility and scalability. The Portuguese company turned to Inetum as a strategic partner capable of guiding this transformation.

Inetum chose to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, a decision based on the solution’s ability to deliver standardized processes aligned with SAP best practices, continuous innovation powered by artificial intelligence, and the flexibility needed to keep pace with Gleba’s growth. Cloud adoption enabled a faster implementation, minimizing reliance on local infrastructure.

Pedro Gomes Santos, CEO of Inetum, highlights the importance of this partnership, stating that it “represents a clear example of our mission: to support Portuguese companies on their path to innovation, efficiency, and internationalization. Working with a brand like Gleba, which values quality and sustainable growth, was an opportunity to show how technology can be a true driver of transformation. This project reinforces our commitment to scalable, secure, and future-oriented solutions such as SAP Cloud ERP and is a concrete example of how Cloud can help growing companies maintain agility and efficiency.”

Inetum was involved in every stage of the project, from requirements definition to team training, ensuring a smooth transition and proper application of new processes. This partnership was crucial to guarantee an effective implementation within the established deadlines.

The results of this transformation are already visible. Gleba now benefits from real-time visibility of stock levels in each store, enabling dynamic management of production and distribution, which translates into reduced waste and fewer shortages. The optimization of processes in areas such as purchasing, inventory management, and finance, driven by the SAP Cloud solution, contributes to greater operational efficiency and more informed decision-making with real-time data.

According to Diogo Amorim, CEO of Gleba:
“Information systems require a continuous improvement approach. That’s why we fully trust Inetum as a partner for this ongoing work of evolving our systems. We have many plans, especially in the area of artificial intelligence to optimize production, better forecast sales, and reduce waste. Inetum is, for us, a truly strategic partner in all these challenges.”

Gleba is also exploring automation and artificial intelligence features to optimize demand forecasting and inventory management, aiming to demonstrate proactivity in a market sensitive to product quality and freshness.

Inetum, in this regard, has publicly expressed interest in continuing as a strategic partner for the Portuguese company, supporting the ongoing evolution of operations. The goal of both companies is to consolidate their national presence and explore international markets over the next 5 to 10 years.
