Certus Software operates as a specialized technology firm targeting the operational and financial needs of small and medium-sized industrial companies in Brazil.
Founded in 2013 by CEO Fábio Ieger, the company was established to address a critical vulnerability in the Brazilian market: the high failure rate of small industries due to managerial and capital deficits. Ieger, an entrepreneur with a digital focus, identified that many technically proficient micro-industrialists lacked robust management skills, a finding supported by Sebrae data. This insight became the foundational driver for the company's core product.
The firm's primary offering is a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, also referred to as iCertus, designed to manage the entire operational lifecycle of a small industry. The system integrates processes from raw material purchasing and inventory control to production cost management, sales, and fiscal note issuance. The business model is based on providing this comprehensive management tool, which clients can access online to gain clarity on key performance indicators and streamline daily operations.
Recognizing that access to capital was as significant a hurdle as operational management, Certus Software strategically evolved into a fintech. The company integrated financial services directly into its ERP platform, enabling clients to access credit solutions like the anticipation of receivables and working capital loans. This service leverages an AI-driven credit analysis that provides rapid approval decisions. This dual focus on management software and embedded finance creates a powerful value proposition aimed at enhancing the resilience and growth prospects of its client base. To fund this expansion, the startup secured a R$1 million investment round from backers including Bossa Nova Investimentos and Poli Angels.
