With 113 years of history, Catupiry is an iconic brand in the Brazilian food sector. Its ecosystem includes four factories, a logistics distribution center, its own store with a gourmet shop and restaurant, and today it has more than 130 products in its portfolio, supplying Brazil and building a path to export.
“Catupiry is a century-old company, but it needs to be ready to grow for the next 113 years,” says Tatiana Campos, Head of Technology at Catupiry.
Robust infrastructure, but one that could no longer keep pace with the business
Despite its solidity, the company's IT infrastructure no longer met the demands of an increasingly digital and dynamic market. The team faced slowdowns in critical processes and operational risks due to its high dependence on the physical infrastructure located in São Paulo.
More complex reports took 2 to 3 hours to generate. Closing one of the main processes — milk management — could take up to 12 hours, directly affecting decision-making and team performance.
“We had a solid infrastructure, but it no longer represented modernity, scalability, or security,” Tatiana comments.
Strategic decision: the right partner for a digital transformation
Even though Catupiry has known Skyone for over 10 years, they conducted a rigorous selection process, evaluating six companies. Skyone was chosen not only for its commercial proposal, but also for demonstrating a deep understanding of the business and commitment to the partnership.
"It became clear to everyone that this was the right company to lead this project," says the executive.
Complete migration to the cloud: planning and courage in just the right measure
The decision was bold: to migrate the entire infrastructure to the cloud , decoupling all manufacturing units from the physical structure of the headquarters. The complexity demanded a detailed schedule and execution with no margin for error.
• January: start of discussions
• Carnival: building the homologation environment
• Easter: final migration completed
“We couldn’t afford to make a mistake. Any error could halt production,” Tatiana emphasized.
The operation was conducted so efficiently that end users didn't even notice the change. They only perceived the difference in the increased speed and fluidity of the processes.
The immediate impacts of the cloud: greater agility, less risk
The transformation brought significant and measurable gains:
✅ Milk closing time: reduced from 12 hours to 3 hours
✅ Reports that used to take up to 3 hours now run in 20 to 30 minutes
✅ Up to 50% improvement in system performance
✅ Elimination of dependence on São Paulo infrastructure
✅ Factories connected directly to the cloud
✅ Drastic reduction in operational risk
"They went to sleep with a report that took 3 hours and woke up to it running in 30 minutes," Tatiana recounts.
22 years of data ready to feed artificial intelligence
With its modern infrastructure, Catupiry has begun reorganizing its historical database. Twenty-two years of recorded information are now undergoing curation, purging, and restructuring, with a focus on preparing the environment for machine learning and generative AI projects.
“I’ve never seen an environment so rich in data. Some companies don’t even have that kind of data,” Tatiana points out.
Skyone also plays a role in this phase, supporting the identification of high-value data and the elimination of data that no longer adds value to the operation.
Far beyond technology: a genuine exchange between teams
More than just migration, the project created an environment of collaboration and learning. While Skyone delved into the business processes, the Catupiry team learned the technical concepts of the cloud, all through in-person workshops and constant exchanges.
Catupiry demonstrates that innovation and tradition are not opposites, but complementary. With the cloud as a starting point, the company gains the momentum to scale, innovate, and fully exploit the value of its data.
“Digital transformation is a journey. The cloud was just the first step,” concludes the Head of Technology.
