Saargo

What Saargo does

Saargo is a Chilean software consultancy and digital product company headquartered in Santiago, Chile, founded in 2018 by co-founders Ariel Salas (Operations Manager) and Eduardo Godoy (Design Manager). The firm delivers custom software development (web applications and mobile apps), UX/UI design, cloud architecture, AI-powered automation, and business intelligence services to Chilean government agencies and enterprise clients. Its technology stack is anchored by certified partnerships with Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Anthropic, supporting cloud-native deployments, conversational AI chatbots, RPA-style process automation, and data integration solutions. Saargo also operates a catalog of six proprietary digital products (Chatbot, Self-Service Systems, Emailing, Enterprise Support, Ticket Sales, and UI Redesign) that can be licensed independently or bundled with service engagements.

The company runs a hybrid professional services and product licensing business model. Revenue is generated primarily through fixed-scope custom development projects, agile team staff augmentation, and IT outsourcing engagements on multi-year contracts, supplemented by licensing of its proprietary products. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates, and go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with formal participation in Chilean government procurement via ChileCompra/ChileProveedores and the Laboratorio de Gobierno's Innovadores Públicos program. Marketing is content-driven, centered on case studies, success stories, and direct outreach through the website and the [email protected] channel.

Saargo's customer base is heavily weighted toward Chilean public-sector clients, including Carabineros de Chile, CORFO, FOSIS, SERNATUR, the Registro Social de Hogares, multiple Subsecretarías, regional governments, and environmental tribunals, with selective enterprise clients such as Casio Chile and Birdi. The firm holds ISO 9001 quality management certification (NQA, UKAS-accredited) and operates with 11-50 employees, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or expansion beyond Chile.
