Case Study: Refrescos Bandeirantes Indústria e Comércio achieves improved scalability and business continuity with Oracle Database Appliance

Refrescos Bandeirantes Indústria e Comércio Supports Growth with Improved Scalability and Reliability

Refrescos Bandeirantes Indústria e Comércio Ltda., the beverages division of the José Alves Group based in Goiás, Brazil, produces and distributes Coca‑Cola, Heineken and other drinks across 10 distribution centers serving 255 cities and more than 30,000 points of sale. Facing rapid growth, the company needed higher availability, security and processing capacity to support mission‑critical systems—such as order management, sales‑force automation and invoicing that generate about 15,000 invoices per day—while maintaining 24/7 production and distribution.

Refrescos Bandeirantes replaced two servers with an Oracle Database Appliance and consolidated databases using Oracle Real Application Clusters and Active Data Guard, plus Oracle Diagnostics, Tuning and Partitioning packs to identify bottlenecks and optimize queries. The change expanded system capacity and performance without additional hardware, created a robust contingency and faster recovery capability, integrated sales and accounting data on a single platform, sustained 15,000 daily invoices, and simplified support by using a single hardware-and-database provider.
