Hiper Gestão, operating under the name Hiper, focuses on the Brazilian micro and small retail sector by providing a comprehensive management software solution. The company was founded in 2012 by Tiago Vail, Marinho Silva, and Marcos Fischer in Brusque, Santa Catarina. The founders, with their collective experience in software development and business management, aimed to address the specific needs of small retailers who were often underserved by complex and expensive enterprise systems. Their journey began with the goal of creating a more accessible and user-friendly point-of-sale (POS) system.
The company's primary offering is a cloud-based management platform that integrates key retail operations. This includes point-of-sale (POS) functionalities, inventory control, sales management, and financial oversight. Hiper's system is designed to simplify daily tasks for business owners, providing tools for issuing tax documents (like NF-e and NFC-e), managing customer relationships, and generating sales reports. The platform operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, generating revenue through monthly subscription fees. This subscription-based approach provides clients, which range from individual micro-entrepreneurs to small retail stores, with continuous updates and support without a large upfront investment.
A significant milestone in Hiper's history was its acquisition by the Linx group in 2019 for R$50 million, a move that validated its business model and provided resources for further expansion. Following this, in 2021, Linx itself was acquired by StoneCo, placing Hiper within the portfolio of one of Brazil's largest payment and financial technology companies. This integration allows Hiper to offer its clients a more robust ecosystem, combining its management software with Stone's payment solutions. The business continues to operate from its headquarters in Santa Catarina, maintaining its focus on empowering small retailers by simplifying their management processes and enabling them to compete more effectively.
