SW Sapien

What SW Sapien does

SW Sapien, legally operating as Luna Soft S.A. de C.V., is a Mexican technology company headquartered in Zapopan, Jalisco, founded in 2001. It functions as a SAT-authorized PAC (Proveedor Autorizado de Certificación) providing electronic fiscal compliance infrastructure for Mexican taxpayers. Its core offering is the SW Smarter web service, which emits, validates, certifies, stores, and cancels CFDI (Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet) documents on behalf of clients, with stated response times of 70-100ms per stamp and capacity of 3 million CFDI per hour. The company operates dual-PAC architecture through Lunasoft (primary) and Digital Factura (backup) for redundancy.

The product portfolio spans three layers: a developer-facing API/web service (SW Smarter Timbrado plus validation, storage, PDF generation, and mass cancellation modules) for software houses, ERP integrators, and enterprise customers; a corporate portals suite under the CEPDI brand (Provider, Expense, Payroll, Ticket, and Custom Portals) for enterprise administrative process automation; and a self-service SMB platform (FactuPronto) targeting freelancers and small businesses with a freemium model. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, API-first developer outreach via developers.sw.com.mx, and channel partnerships including a certified Odoo integration.

Revenue derives from per-transaction CFDI stamping fees (volume-tiered for high-volume enterprise clients), recurring annual or monthly subscriptions for corporate portal solutions, and freemium-to-paid conversion on FactuPronto. The company claims 800,000+ clients and 3 billion+ cumulative CFDI issued, serving a customer mix that includes large enterprises (HDI, Huawei, Hitachi, Megacable, PiSa, BestDay) and software integration partners (Odoo, National Soft). Operations are domestic to Mexico with no disclosed international expansion, and the company operates under ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification.

Regional players

Direct peers

• Solución Factible: One of Mexico's largest PAC (Proveedor Autorizado de Certificación) providers, offering CFDI stamping, validation, and fiscal compliance services to enterprises and developers. Directly competes with SW Sapien in the Mexican PAC market.
