What Aquarela Advanced Analytics does

Aquarela Advanced Analytics is a Brazilian AI and data analytics firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Florianópolis, operating as a privately-held company with 11-50 employees. It serves large enterprise and government clients across verticals including aerospace (Embraer), automotive (Scania, Mercedes-Benz, Randon, EATON), energy (Auren, SPIC Brasil), healthcare (Hospital das Clínicas HC FMUSP), telecommunications (Telefônica Vivo), retail/food (SolarBR Coca-Cola, BRF), and government (Governo de São Paulo, Governo de Santa Catarina, Prefeitura de Vitória).

The company's technology stack centers on the proprietary Vorteris AI platform, developed over 10+ years of R&D, which applies exclusive algorithms for predictive analytics, optimization, process automation, and anomaly detection on structured industrial data and text. Vorteris operates on top of the Aquarela Data Platform infrastructure and is delivered through the Data Culture Methodology (DCM), a proprietary 5-level framework (Empírico to Exponencial) for evolving organizational analytical maturity. Complementary tools include the Analytics Business Canvas (a 7-component strategic planning tool) and Smart Planning (a co-developed AI supply chain solution with Embraer). The platform supports both structured-data and text/NLP modalities.

Aquarela's business model blends professional services (Data & AI Services, Data & AI Solution) with subscription/recurring product revenue (Data & AI Products via Vorteris). Pricing is opaque and custom, structured around enterprise engagements with consultative sales through a 'Fale com um especialista' (Talk to a specialist) approach. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with deep client integration; the company is founder-led by CEO Marcos Santos and Commercial Director Joni Hoppen, with no disclosed external funding. Strategic partnerships with Embraer, ACATE, BNDES, FINEP, CNI, ENDEAVOR, and the Fundo Aeroespacial provide ecosystem reach and innovation funding, though revenue scale remains undisclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• CI&T: Brazilian-founded digital transformation and AI/analytics consultancy serving large global enterprises (similar to Aquarela's enterprise field-sales motion). Both blend proprietary platforms with consulting services for large Brazilian and multinational clients, making CI&T the closest head-to-head comp in the domestic market.
• DataRobot: Enterprise AI/ML platform vendor offering predictive modeling and MLOps capabilities analogous to Aquarela's Vorteris platform. Both target large enterprises seeking to industrialize AI; DataRobot is the well-capitalized global comparable for Vorteris's product-led ambitions.
• Venturus: Brazilian technology and innovation center headquartered in Campinas that delivers AI, data and Industry 4.0 solutions to large corporations. Comparable in scale and vertical mix (automotive, manufacturing, telco), and a direct rival for enterprise analytics programs in Brazil.

Broad incumbents

• TOTVS: Brazil's largest enterprise software company, increasingly embedding analytics and AI into its ERP suites. Represents a different go-to-market (software-led) but increasingly overlaps with Aquarela's predictive analytics and supply chain optimization value proposition.
• Compass UOL: Large Brazilian digital transformation consultancy with cloud, data and AI capabilities serving enterprise and government clients. Operates as a broader incumbent across the same enterprise AI services RFPs Aquarela bids on.
• Palantir Technologies: Global enterprise data and AI platform (Foundry/Gotham) used for supply chain, manufacturing and government analytics — directly analogous to Aquarela's Smart Planning use case. Operates as a well-capitalized broad incumbent that increasingly pitches into Latin American enterprises and government clients.
• Stefanini: Large Brazilian-origin IT services and digital transformation provider with analytics, AI and Industry 4.0 offerings. It competes for the same enterprise AI mandates as Aquarela but with far greater headcount and a broader service portfolio across LATAM.

Emerging players

• H2O.ai: AI/ML platform vendor specializing in automated machine learning and predictive analytics for enterprise. Competes with Vorteris at the platform layer for organizations building in-house AI capabilities rather than buying services.
• NeuralMind: Brazilian AI company providing AI/ML solutions to large enterprises and government. Comparable in geography and stage, and an emerging competitor for the same enterprise AI mandates Aquarela pursues in Brazil.

Others

• B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão: Brazilian stock exchange operator that has invested heavily in data, analytics and AI capabilities internally and through partners. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but a high-profile Brazilian enterprise data buyer and ecosystem participant relevant to Aquarela's financial-services adjacency.
