Case Study: Grupo R Carvalho achieves 80% faster reports and slashes IT overtime with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Supermarket Grupo R Carvalho moves data center to Oracle Cloud

Grupo R Carvalho is a major supermarket chain based in Teresina, Brazil, with 29 stores and ambitious growth targets. Facing an outdated on‑premises data center—uneven server utilization, declining performance, and slow provisioning—the company needed to modernize its infrastructure to support critical systems like sales, ERP, invoicing, and billing.

Working with Oracle, Grupo R Carvalho migrated all critical apps to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Database Cloud Service in about three months. The move delivered dramatic gains: report times fell from ~42 minutes to 6–7 minutes, server provisioning dropped from 30–60 days to 3–5 days, IT overtime fell 70–80%, security and control improved, and systems have run reliably in production through a period of 30% sales growth.
