Venezuela grocer selects Wipro Retail for IT overhaul

Reading, Pa. IT and business services company Wipro Retail said Tuesday that Central Madeirense, Venezuela’s largest supermarket chain, has chosen it to implement an Oracle Retail solution to provide the grocer with a single application to manage inventory and stock levels.

According to the retailer, which focuses on the value shopper, the project will put Central Madeirense in a position to compete with other, more developed retailers around the globe.

Central Madeirense has purchased a sizeable footprint of the Oracle Retail solution platform, and the project will be divided into three phases: Merchandising and Stores; Supply Chain; and Optimization and Forecasting.
