Portobello S/A, founded in 1979, leads the Brazilian ceramic flooring industry. The company based in the city of Tijucas in southern Santa Catarina State, exports to more than 65 countries. The challenge was to expand IT infrastructure to support company growth; integrate and consolidate management information to enable improved data analysis; and reduce the time required to provide financial data. The company used Oracle Financials to reduce the time needed to visualize cash flow from one day to real-time availability online. The company achieved better control of expenses, investments, and supply requests with the automation of data processes and integration, ultimately avoiding unexpected costs.
