Abstract
La Compañía Agroindustrial Punta del Sur (CAIPSUR), es una empresa familiar de
larga tradición olivícola en el Perú, dedicada a la industrialización y comercialización de
aceitunas, a través de la marca Huerto Mejía. CAIPSUR fue fundada por la familia Guillén
Velásquez, cuyas raíces se remonta a la década de los años setenta, cuando se inició con la
plantación de 40 hectáreas de olivos por Carlos Guillén Carrera en los fundos denominados
El Huerto de Mejía y Fundo San Antonio, en Arequipa. Actualmente tiene una planta
moderna para el envasado de aceituna en el distrito de Lurín, en Lima y su gerente general es
Jaime Guillén, segunda generación de la empresa familiar.
A través del Business Consulting se realizó un análisis de la situación general de la
empresa y se replanteó los objetivos principales, que se refieren a: (a) incremento de las
ventas y (b) posicionamiento de la marca en el sector. Sin embargo, para lograr los objetivos
se identificaron debilidades como: (a) no contar con un canal comercial online, (b) falta de
estructura de costos y, (c) no contar con un Plan de Marketing.
Durante la consultoría llegó la pandemia del COVID-19, la mayoría de las empresas
tuvieron que hacerle frente y varias se reinventaron enfocándose hacia el canal online. Para
lograr los objetivos se recomienda: (a) implementar un sistema de costeo variable, para
ayudar a la toma de decisiones gerenciales, e (b) implementar un canal de eCommerce, como
canal adicional de ventas, ampliando su cartera de clientes al consumidor final a través del
Marketplace y Redes Sociales, c) Desarrollar un plan de marketing para eCommerce que
ayudará a la toma de decisiones con un enfoque sistemático. De esta manera, las
recomendaciones brindadas están enfocadas en buscar ser una empresa rentable con la
mínima inversión, desarrollar la transformación digital, tener un propósito de compromiso y
responsabilidad social basado en principios de desarrollo sostenible que los llevarán a cumplir los objetivos esperados.
