What Qintess does

Qintess (legal entity QINTESS HOLDING E PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA) is a São Paulo-headquartered technology services and solutions integrator specializing in SAP ecosystem implementations, AI-driven decision intelligence, low-code development, and master data management (MDM). Founded in 2019, the company positions itself with deep roots in Brazil while operating across 9 countries with experience in 14, serving more than 800 enterprise clients in Latin America across financial services, government, retail, and automotive verticals. Its flagship SAP partnership anchors the delivery practice and provides co-sell, certification, and enterprise pipeline access that smaller regional integrators cannot easily replicate. Headcount of 1,001–5,000 employees is organized under a C-suite including Nana Baffour (CEO), Celso Kleber de Souza (CTO), Gilberto Caparica (COO Latam), Rogerio Dias (Chief of Staff), and Raul Rocha (CCO).

The company combines a professional services practice with a proprietary product portfolio. Core platforms include Reason (a Decision Intelligence platform leveraging NLP, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and generative AI), Qintess MDM, and a Low Code development environment, supported by an AI Readiness methodology. Underlying technical capabilities span data engineering, cloud migration, application management services (AMS), and enterprise integration, with delivery structured around industry verticals rather than pure horizontal services. The CSC BRASIL acquisition in July 2020 was foundational, materially scaling the SAP practice and Brazilian delivery footprint at founding-stage maturity.

Qintess monetizes through enterprise project-based consulting, multi-year managed services and AMS contracts, and licensing of its proprietary platforms. Customer segments are predominantly large enterprises — tier-1 banks, public-sector entities, large retailers, and manufacturers — with go-to-market organized vertically and channel leverage provided by the SAP partnership. The firm also operates an Integrity Program (instituted 2021) covering ESG and compliance, relevant to enterprise and public-sector procurement. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount and client scale are the primary proxy indicators of current operating size.
