Helena Costa, the Senior E-commerce Manager at Infracommerce, emphasizes that “There is an increase not only in material infrastructure to accommodate the growth of inventory but also in the workforce. In September, we increased the number of vacancies by 50% at the distribution center in Extrema, preparing for the growing demand not only this month but also in the coming months. In October, we expect an average increase of 60% in inventory. This growth incurs not only logistical costs (for sorting, packing, and controls) but also in hiring support staff, supplies, carriers, and throughout the operational chain.”
Recently, Infracommerce Built a New Distribution Center in Minas
Infracommerce, the company responsible for the e-commerce operations of giants like Nike, Ambev, Unilever, Motorola, Ray-Ban, and other national and international brands, has just begun activities in Extrema, in South Minas Gerais. The inauguration of the distribution center (DC) will generate about 300 direct jobs, potentially reaching over 500 during the Black Friday commercial event.
According to him, the choice of Extrema in the state of Minas Gerais was made due to a combination of factors such as strategic location, as the city is close to major consumer centers, the existence of tax incentives for some clients, which helps in the feasibility of operations, and the fact that Minas Gerais represents the third-largest consumption hub among the company’s 260 clients.
Although it is being inaugurated, the distribution center has been in operation since early July. The preparation of the facilities began in April. The unit in Minas Gerais will generate about 300 direct jobs, potentially reaching over 500 during Black Friday, in addition to boosting the local economy with hundreds of indirect vacancies, according to the Vice President of Operations.
