Alvoar Lácteos: how Stratws centralized indicators and decisions

Before Stratws, every team at Alvoar Lácteos had its own way of organizing work, with no shared standard. Today, deadlines, indicators, and decisions all live in one place, in the same language across the company.

Alvoar Lácteos was founded in 1971 and is now the largest dairy company in Brazil’s Northeast. Its partnership with Siteware started through PAEX, Parceiros para a Excelência, a Fundação Dom Cabral program that gives participating companies access to Stratws’ Farol de Indicadores.

What challenges did Alvoar Lácteos face before Stratws?

When the partnership began, every employee already ran their own activities their own way, with no shared method across teams. Interdependent teams worked at different paces, which made alignment and deadline tracking harder.

If you went on vacation and came back wanting to know what happened, it's all there, recorded. With a new employee, you can bring them up to speed on everything that was done and what's in progress.

Stratws stepped in as a bridge between teams. According to the company, the biggest gain was giving time a formal record: every action and every deadline started getting documented, not just agreed verbally between teams.

Why did Alvoar Lácteos choose Stratws?

Alvoar Lácteos was already using the basic version of Stratws through PAEX when it decided to expand the tool’s use. While looking for new technology to support the company’s growth, it realized Siteware already had a solution that could meet that need.

We saw the value of expanding our use of Stratws when we went looking for new technology and realized we already had one that could serve us well.

What did the Stratws rollout at Alvoar Lácteos look like?

The rollout started with structuring the system, with support from Siteware’s Implementation team to make information easy to understand. Training split people into groups by role: focal points, administrators, and leaders, each with their own path through the tool.

After training, Alvoar Lácteos went live with the system already complete: the indicator dashboard populated, the strategic plan structured in the scorecard, and indicators divided by area and department, matching the management model the company already used.

For Tatiana, the biggest driver of adoption was the example set by leadership. Every leader uses Stratws and holds their teams to the same standard, and the company’s meetings moved into the system itself.

Today, there's no point delegating a task if it's not recorded in Stratws, people ask 'is it in Stratws yet?'. There's no going back, we settled into that rhythm, people made it their own, and we already run every meeting through it.

What results has Alvoar Lácteos seen with Stratws?

Concentrating information in a single platform was the biggest gain Alvoar Lácteos reported. Indicators from any area started being recorded and checked in the same place, with a quick visual read of what’s on track and what needs more attention.

The system is very visual and easy to use. You look at it and immediately see where you're doing well and where you need more effort. Everyone can see it, it's simple.

The company’s monthly meetings moved into Stratws, with the numbers already consolidated before the meeting. That made discussions more objective and put every team on the same page about what was working and what wasn’t.

Day-to-day analysis got simpler too: managers stopped opening multiple separate files, because the documentation already lives in the system. With the gain visible in daily use, employees who used the tool less started using it more.

Alvoar Lácteos’ experience shows what changes when every team stops working its own way and starts recording deadlines, indicators, and decisions in a single system, with a history anyone can access at any time.
