The Challenge
At the end of 2014, Adami's board of directors hired a consultant to implement a model of governance by indicators. In 2015, the Planning department, in conjunction with the Information Technology department, decided to invest in solutions that would allow for a more dynamic form of management. The goal was to optimize corporate governance, improve process efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance. The company faced challenges in managing and standardizing information across its various business units, which included Chemical-Mechanical Paste, Forestry, Timber, Paper, Packaging, and Electrical Energy sectors.

The company had revenues of R$ 677 million in 2016. Adami S.A. is committed to improving its business processes, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance. The company sought to enhance its performance and customer satisfaction by adopting advanced management solutions.

The Solution
Adami S.A. adopted the SoftExpert Excellence Suite (SE Suite), a comprehensive platform for management excellence, process improvement, and regulatory compliance.

The platform is used across all seven business units of the company, involving directors, managers, supervisors, and analysts.
