Vipal Borrachas transforms financial management with Oracle EPM Cloud and Taking

With more than five decades of history, Vipal Borrachas is one of the world’s largest rubber manufacturers and a global reference in tire retreading and repair, leading the Brazilian and Latin American markets. Present in more than 90 countries, with 14 distribution centers and 7 industrial plants totaling over 220,000 square meters, the company is going through a period of expansion driven by innovation and operational efficiency.

In an increasingly competitive landscape, and with multiple systems in operation, Vipal sought a solution capable of integrating financial, budgetary and operational data, giving its governance precision and agility in strategic analysis.

The company’s expansion and the global reach of its operations required adapting to local regulations in each country. Agile decision-making also became more necessary than ever, given the complexity of the operation and of the market in which it competes. For these reasons, Vipal set out to develop and transform its accounting close, financial consolidation and budgeting processes.

This initiative directly shortens response times across business areas. It brings agility through an integrated, collaborative and automated structure, while ensuring data governance and predictability for the entire organization.

An implementation that unified systems and accelerated decisions

To lead this transformation, Vipal partnered with Taking, a specialist in digital solutions and in integrating complex corporate environments. The partnership resulted in the full implementation of Oracle EPM Cloud (Enterprise Performance Management), a world-class enterprise performance management solution.

The project involved full integration with legacy systems, creating a unified, reliable and automated data ecosystem. The module implemented was Planning Financials & Workforce Planning, which brings financial planning and forecasting together with cost control and workforce sizing.

With Taking’s support, Vipal replaced manual processes with automated, collaborative workflows. The company reached a new operational speed and a single view of its corporate indicators.

Results that redefined financial performance

The adoption of Oracle EPM Cloud ushered in a new era of efficiency, predictability and financial intelligence at Vipal. Key results include:

• Faster financial close, with a significant reduction in time and operational effort.
• Integrated corporate planning, connecting Finance and HR on a single data foundation.
• Automation of critical processes, eliminating the risk of inconsistencies and rework.
• An investment approval workflow based on actual and projected data, enabling faster, better-justified decisions.
• Real-time reports and dashboards, with dynamic indicators and performance comparisons.
• Stronger governance and compliance, supporting decisions based on consolidated, auditable data.

As a result, Vipal now operates with analytical precision and executive agility, turning financial management into a strategic lever for the business.

Integrated data, smarter decisions

More than a technology implementation, the project marked a transformation in how data is analyzed. Vipal Borrachas began to see planning as an instrument of transformation, rather than only a means of controlling operational performance.

The partnership with Taking reaffirmed the importance of combining technology and management to boost results. By integrating Oracle EPM Cloud into its corporate ecosystem, the company improved transparency, efficiency and governance, which are the elements that will sustain the brand’s next cycle of global growth.
