Dynamics 365 in Agribusiness:

With over 100 years of history in Brazilian agribusiness, Cooperativa Santa Clara continues to innovate by adopting Microsoft’s cloud-based ERP solution, Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, implemented by Nexer. This initiative marks a new chapter in the co-operative’s digital transformation, focusing on integrating and automating its complex and diverse operations.

Challenge: Integrating departments with efficiency and scalability

Founded in 1912 in Rio Grande do Sul, Cooperativa Santa Clara is the oldest dairy co-operative still in operation in Brazil. Its operations go far beyond dairy production, covering supermarkets, meat processing plants, dairies, distribution centres, and the sale of agricultural products. This complexity required a robust, flexible, and scalable solution to ensure efficiency, control, and agility.

“Trust in Nexer and Microsoft was key to our decision. We’re confident this partnership will enable us to reach new levels of efficiency and innovation in our operations.”
— Alexandre Guerra, Administrative and Financial Director, Cooperativa Santa Clara

“This upgrade elevates our governance and prepares us for the technological challenges of the future.”
— Daniel Misturini, IT Leader, Cooperativa Santa Clara

“Our partnership with Santa Clara is a source of pride. Our goal is to support digital transformation with solutions aligned to the sector’s needs and local realities.”
— Fábio Sá and Alexandre Marques, Managing Partners, Nexer

About Cooperativa Santa Clara

Founded in 1912 in Rio Grande do Sul, Cooperativa Santa Clara is renowned for its tradition and quality in dairy production. With over 5,000 members, the co-operative is present in more than 135 municipalities across the state, operating in various segments including dairy, meat processing, animal feed production, industrial kitchen, pharmacy, and retail units.

Upgrading to Dynamics 365 F&SCM

Following a detailed market assessment, the co-operative chose to modernise its ERP by migrating from Microsoft Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 F&SCM. The decision was driven by advanced features such as applied artificial intelligence, improved integration across departments, and the robustness of a cloud-based platform.

Nexer, a Microsoft partner and the original implementer of Dynamics AX at Santa Clara, is also leading this upgrade, which will be carried out in phases over an 18-month period.

Expected results: Efficiency and innovation

The adoption of Dynamics 365 F&SCM is set to bring several benefits to Cooperativa Santa Clara, including:

– Greater automation: Reduction of manual processes and increased operational efficiency
– Use of artificial intelligence: AI applied in areas such as logistics, finance, and manufacturing for faster and more informed decision-making
– Unified system: Data integrated into a single platform, enabling better analysis and operational control
