The Gas Company of Santa Catarina (SCGÁS) is responsible for the distribution of natural gas throughout the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil. The company promotes sustainable energy development and serves strategic sectors such as industry, commerce, transportation, and residential areas. With a strong focus on infrastructure excellence, sustainability, and innovation, SCGÁS has been increasing its investments in technology and management to ensure the efficiency of its expansion projects and modernization of the piped gas network.
Business Challenges
With a robust CAPEX investment plan in Construction and Engineering, SCGÁS has been seeking modern solutions to strengthen its governance and enhance project execution with greater predictability and control. The growing investments and increasing project complexity required SCGÁS to transform its construction management practices. The company needed a single platform to standardize and automate processes such as budgeting, contracts, measurements, payments, and cash flow control. In addition, it was essential to have reliable real-time data integrated with the Oracle E-Business Suite ERP to support decision-making and ensure compliance with the strict regulatory and audit requirements of the Brazilian government.
Approach
SCGÁS began the implementation of Oracle Primavera Unifier Cloud in partnership with Peloton Consulting Group, a solution specialized in capital project and portfolio management. The project lasted 16 months (from January 2024 to May 2025) and was carried out by an integrated team of 20 SCGÁS professionals and 15 Peloton consultants, in addition to training 40 key company users. Over 100 specific SCGÁS requirements were addressed, covering processes such as project budgeting, contract management and measurement, subcontractor payments, and cash flow. Ten integrations with Oracle EBS ERP using OCI were developed, along with the creation of custom reports and dashboards tailored to the company’s governance and management needs.
Business Impact
With the adoption of Oracle Unifier Cloud, SCGÁS now operates with a digitized, auditable, and highly efficient system. Automated workflows enabled faster data collection and analysis, simplifying real-time report generation. The company saw improvements in contract processes, claims, and execution costs. Project deliveries were accelerated thanks to standardized processes and increased efficiency in execution. The scalable solution, integrated with Oracle EBS using OCI, ensured protection of existing investments. Furthermore, communication between internal departments and external partners was enhanced, contributing to more collaborative and effective execution of SCGÁS’s strategic projects.
Finally, SCGÁS implemented stricter quality control during project execution through the introduction of structured inspection tracking directly within the Unifier platform. This enabled greater effectiveness in compliance processes, with systematic documentation and monitoring of critical project milestones, raising delivery standards and improving process traceability alongside the secure access management of OCI IAM.
Summary
The Oracle Unifier Cloud implementation project at SCGÁS marks a milestone in the digital transformation of public worksmanagement in Brazil. With strategic and technical support from Peloton, the company modernized its critical processes, created a strong foundation to scale its investments, and elevated its level of governance and compliance. The tangible benefits — from improved efficiency to operational gains through better cost control — reinforce SCGÁS’s commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and sustainability.
