SICAR

What SICAR does

SICAR (legal entity SICAR Solutions S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexican point-of-sale (POS) software provider founded in 2008 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, by entrepreneurs who built the product to address their own frustrations with existing POS systems. The platform is a desktop-first POS application compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, designed to operate locally on the merchant's computer with an offline-tolerant architecture that synchronizes to the cloud when connectivity is available. Around this core, SICAR has assembled a multi-product ecosystem: SICAR Punto de Venta (core sales, inventory, and electronic invoicing module), Nube SICAR (multi-branch cloud synchronization), SICAR ID (QR-based customer digital identity), SICAR Payworks (payment processing), CFDI 4.0 electronic invoicing compliant with the Mexican SAT standard, vertical-specialized modules for restaurants and gyms, mobile applications for iOS/Android administration, and a network of bank and telco integrations (Banamex, BBVA, Banorte, PayPal, Telcel, AT&T, CFE, Telmex, Izzi, among others). The company sells complementary POS hardware including thermal printers, barcode scanners, scales, cash drawers, and bundled kits.

The business targets small and medium businesses across Mexico and Latin America, with reported depth in more than 30 vertical segments including abarrotes (corner stores), pharmacies, ferreterías (hardware stores), restaurants, boutiques, carnicerías (butcher shops), joyerías, zapaterías (shoe stores), papelerías (stationery stores), refaccionarias (auto parts), and general commerce, citing 120,000+ active businesses and a 4.6/5 star rating across 472 Google Reviews. Revenue is generated through multiple streams: one-time perpetual software licenses (Server License MX$4,940, Terminal License MX$1,320), CFDI invoice stamp packages in volume tiers, monthly subscriptions for vertical modules (Restaurants MX$499/mo, Gyms MX$299/mo), optional annual technical support policies required for cloud services, POS hardware sales, and transaction-based commissions from electronic recharges (5–6%) and bill payments (MX$5 per receipt).

Go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer / inside-sales / product-led model. Customers evaluate via a 15-day free trial on sicar.mx, learn through a 1,000+ video YouTube catalog and live training courses, and transact through the company e-commerce store, WhatsApp, a 46+ agent inside-sales team, phone support (+52 317 382 6696), or in-person at the Autlán de Navarro headquarters. Post-sale, a 60+ member technical support team handles installation and remote assistance via TeamViewer-class tools. The company is privately held, appears founder-owned, has 101–250 employees, and discloses no external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity in the available data.
