Ultracargo Case: Data Sanitization in Record Time

Ultracargo, the largest liquid bulk storage company in Brazil, with over 55 years of history and strategic operations in ports such as Santos (SP), Aratu (BA), Suape (PE) and others, took a decisive step towards increasing the efficiency of its operations with the project to review processes and functionalities in the SAP ERP.

Challenge: modernize the materials and services registry to support process review in SAP

As the digital transformation project progressed, the Procurement (represented by Priscilla Brasileiro) and IT (represented by Sabrina de Sousa) departments identified a bottleneck: the registration database was non-standardized, with duplicates and generic descriptions, compromising the effectiveness of the new management model.

To solve this challenge within a tight deadline, CH Master Data | Astrein was chosen as a partner, recognized for its technical credibility, data quality, and speed of delivery.

Implemented solutions

  • Sanitation of more than 7,000 items of materials and services

  • Acquisition of 2,500 ready-made items from the CH Master Data | Astrein Catalog — accelerating database development with technical standardization, NCM, LC 116, and UNSPSC categorization

  • Implementation of Registration Center with SAP integration, parameterized by item type

  • Capacity to create more than 300 new items per month, with defined governance and SLA

According to Priscilla: "The challenge was having to complete the database cleanup within three months, as the implementation of the SAP process review project depended on these items. The involvement and effort of all departments on both sides was essential to achieving quality and deadlines."

Results and benefits

  • Project delivered in 3 months, despite high data volume and technical complexity

  • Enabling the new process model in SAP, supporting the functional review of the ERP

  • Standardization and accurate tax classification (NCM and LC 116)

  • Categorization by international standard (UNSPSC)

  • Greater visibility and control in the management of materials and services

  • Financial and operational gains, with increased productivity, elimination of rework and agility in purchasing

With this partnership, Ultracargo not only modernized its database, but also strengthened registry governance and enhanced the use of its ERP—a fundamental step toward management excellence and competitiveness.
