What Qive does
Qive (formerly Arquivei, rebranded in 2024) is a Brazilian SaaS company founded in 2014 and headquartered in São Carlos, São Paulo, that operates an end-to-end accounts payable automation platform for Brazilian enterprises. The platform unifies five core modules — Payment Management (with DDA-based bank slip processing via Núclea), Document Management (capturing NFe, NFSe, CTe, MDFe, NFCe, and CFe-SAT directly from government sources), Supplier Management (a centralized portal), Data Intelligence, and Automation Routines — and connects natively to the three dominant Brazilian ERPs (SAP, TOTVS, and Oracle) plus an API layer for additional integrations. The platform processes R$3 trillion in fiscal note values across 210,000+ CNPJs and handles 20 million+ requests daily, with 300+ parameterized automation rules and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. Qive employs 251-500 people (350+ as of 2022) and serves enterprise customers including iFood, Rappi, Riachuelo, C&A, Grupo Casas Bahia, KaBuM!, Colgate, Grupo SBF, Arcos Dourados, and Mobly.
The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining enterprise field sales with personalized demos, API-first distribution through ERP partners, and a self-serve 7-day free trial plus Qive Lite (a credit-based ad-hoc query product for users without a digital certificate). Revenue comes from pre-paid monthly or annual SaaS subscriptions, usage-based Qive Lite credits (12-month validity), and bundled package plans; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The platform is positioned for Brazil's Tax Reform (IBS/CBS effective 2026), with automatic adaptation capabilities for new tax rules. Founded by co-CEOs Christian de Cico and Isis Abbud (Endeavor Entrepreneurs), Qive has raised a R$260 million (USD 48 million) Series B led by Riverwood Capital in December 2021, with prior backing from Monashees, NXTP Ventures, Valor Capital Group, Igah Ventures, IFC, Constellation, Endeavor Catalyst, and Bossa Invest. The company acquired ConexãoNF-e in March 2023 and in 2024 consolidated its portfolio under the Qive brand to reflect expanded strategic positioning as a comprehensive AP platform rather than a document management tool.
