Corporación Favorita, the undisputed leader in Ecuador’s retail sector, has taken a decisive step toward its “Reaching Your Goals 2025” strategy by modernizing its quality assurance processes.
Corporación Favorita, Ecuador’s leading retail conglomerate—operating top-tier brands such as Supermaxi, Megamaxi, Kywi, and Sukasa—has reached a major milestone in its “Reaching Your Goals 2025” digital transformation strategy. In an industry where logistical precision and agility are paramount, the company modernized its Contingency Inventory Counting Process through cutting-edge automation.
By implementing STELA, the team at Corporación Favorita didn’t just optimize their timelines; they proved that technical autonomy is achievable through No-Code technology.
Before integrating STELA, software testing for inventory systems was handled manually, facing long execution cycles that slowed down the business’s ability to respond to changes. The effort required to ensure quality was massive:
The most remarkable aspect of this success story is the speed of adoption. In just one month, Corporación Favorita’s internal team learned to use the tool and developed their own automations without any prior programming knowledge.
After two years of continuous use, the team has achieved full technical independence. This capability allows those who know the business best to be the ones ensuring its quality, eliminating bottlenecks and third-party dependencies.
The implementation delivered immediate strategic benefits, enabling early error detection and unprecedented resource optimization:
| Metric | Manual Testing | STELA (Execution) | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Execution Effort | 37.5 days | 1.88 days | -95% |
| Total Time (1st Cycle) | 37.5 days | 7.88 days* | -79% |
*Includes learning curve, script development, and first full execution.
For Corporación Favorita, automating with STELA has meant a true liberation of talent. By reducing execution time from weeks to less than two days, the organization has gained the agility needed to respond to market challenges with security and precision.
Looking ahead, the company plans to scale this efficiency by creating RPA Bots, solidifying STELA as a fundamental strategic partner in its technological roadmap.
Thanks to STELA's no-code technology, our team achieved complete independence in quality management in just one month, without the need for prior technical knowledge. Not only did we reduce our inventory testing time by 79%, but we also freed up valuable resources to focus on high-impact analysis and improvements. STELA has been a key player in achieving our strategic efficiency goals for 2025.
