Cora France is a major French hypermarket brand operating over 60 stores and employing more than 17,000 people. Known for its wide product range and regional footprint, Cora is modernizing its IT infrastructure to support omnichannel commerce, increase regulatory traceability, and improve commercial agility. The company turned to Semarchy to gain better control over its operational data, optimize reporting across business lines, and support its cloud transformation strategy.

To support its digital and commercial reinvention, Cora needed to replace outdated legacy infrastructure with a scalable, cloud-native data environment.
