What Thinkion does

Thinkion is an Argentine SaaS company founded in 2019 that sells an integrated point-of-sale and ERP platform, Think ERP, targeted at multi-location restaurants, breweries, cafes, and hospitality businesses in Latin America. The core system combines order capture, production and recipe costing, inventory, purchasing, accounts, employee time-tracking and payroll, and a reporting engine with more than 800 metrics and unlimited customizable dashboards, all sharing a centralized master-data layer designed to avoid per-location duplication. The platform is delivered as a cloud service hosted on Google Compute Engine with encrypted local Linux servers, daily backups, and 2048-bit SSL, and is sold alongside an ecosystem of complementary modules: Think Food (QR surveys and email marketing), Think Check (POS audit tool with a neural-network-based anomaly detection engine), Think Card (loyalty), Think Net (intranet and video training), Think Store (PWA ecommerce with offline purchase capability), a Reservations module, and Pack Digital (QR digital menu, digital queue, and delivery-rider call).

The company monetizes primarily through recurring subscriptions for the integrated suite and its modules, supplemented by implementation and consulting services for configuration, cultural change, and workflow optimization, and it distributes directly via its website with WhatsApp-based support and a sales-led motion aimed at enterprise restaurant chains. Native, no-extra-cost integrations with the dominant regional delivery and payment platforms — Pedidos Ya, Rappi, Glovo, Mercado Pago, Mas Delivery, Wabi, and Waitry, plus ERP integration with Bejerman — are central to its go-to-market, and the company holds IRAM ISO 9001:2015 and IQNET certifications (effective April 2024) for its POS/ERP delivery and support processes.
