What Digix does

Digix is a Brazilian privately held software company founded in 2001 in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, that develops and licenses vertical-specific software solutions for Brazilian public-sector management. Its product portfolio addresses distinct government workflows: Cheff Escolar manages the federal PNAE school-feeding program (positioned as the only end-to-end PNAE platform in Brazil); Papel Zero handles electronic process and document management with legal authenticity; Nexxus manages state agreement and partnership tracking; e-Procon serves consumer-protection agencies (Procons); Habix supports housing agencies in beneficiary selection; and Vistta covers inspection and compliance. The company also offers specialized IT staffing/outsourcing and BI tools (via Power BI). Solutions are built in-house, customized collaboratively with each government client, and supported by an internally developed AI assistant, Dina, launched in 2023 for knowledge retrieval and process automation within public-management workflows.

Its customer base spans education secretariats (SEDUC-PI, SED-MS), sanitation companies (SANESUL), housing agencies (AGEHAB), tax authorities (SEFAZ-MS), and consumer protection bodies (PROCON-MS). The company holds LGPD compliance certification and integrates with Microsoft, Auth0, RD Station, Pipedrive, Power BI and others in its operating stack.
