Perfarm

What Perfarm does

Perfarm is a privately held Brazilian agricultural management software company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating under the legal name Perfarm Tecnologia e Consultoria em Agronegócio Ltda. The company provides a web-based farm management platform that automates operational and financial routines for agricultural producers, livestock operations, and agroindustry, using an accrual-based accounting methodology that requires what the company describes as only two types of data inputs to generate closing results, cash flow projections, and forward-looking bank balance forecasts. The platform is organized into eleven sector-specific modules — Grãos, Bovino de Corte, Leite, Café, Cana-de-Açúcar, Citros, Hortifruti, Aves e Suínos, Aquicultura, Silvicultura, and a Personalizado module for niche systems — each carrying industry-specific KPIs (e.g., DRE by plot for grains, cost per @ for beef, cost per box-weight for citrus, feed conversion for poultry/swine).

Perfarm monetizes through a freemium software model with paid premium subscription tiers, a low-cost managed service called Piloto Automático (priced below Brazilian minimum wage) in which Perfarm staff handle operational data closing on behalf of clients, and an education business called Universidade Perfarm that delivers online and in-person training courses. A separate Especialistas Perfarm advisory service bundles ongoing specialist consulting on operational, commercial, financial, and strategic decisions. Distribution is digital and self-serve through app.perfarm.com, supplemented by direct consultant engagement ('Fale com um Consultor') for larger operators. The company serves Brazilian agricultural producers — primarily SMB and mid-market farms across grains, beef cattle, dairy, coffee, sugarcane, citrus, horticulture, poultry, swine, aquaculture, and forestry — and currently operates only within Brazil with no disclosed international expansion. Founders Daniela Vianello Sodré and Luiz Roberto Sodré are listed, and no external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Granular (Corteva): Farm management software for row-crop and livestock operations with financial and operational analytics. Most direct global comparator to Perfarm's plot-level P&L and accrual-based farm analytics.
• AGRIVI: Cloud farm management software covering crop and livestock operations with financial tracking. Closely comparable product scope and freemium/SaaS model to Perfarm, with global reach.
• Conservis: Farm management software for row-crop operations with per-field financial tracking and input management. Direct comparator in the plot-level P&L and accrual accounting niche Perfarm occupies.
• xFarm Technologies: European farm management platform with freemium and paid tiers covering multiple crop and livestock verticals. Comparable multi-vertical FMIS with subscription model, though primarily European-focused.

Broad incumbents

• Bayer Climate FieldView: Large, well-funded digital agriculture platform with FMIS, decision support, and input recommendations. Overlaps with Perfarm across grains and decision support, but is a much broader portfolio play.
• TOTVS Agro: Brazil's largest enterprise software vendor, with a dedicated agribusiness suite serving producers and agro-industry. Competes with Perfarm for the same Brazilian agribusiness buyers with a much broader ERP footprint.
• Trimble Ag (Ag Software): Established precision agriculture and farm management software stack from a global equipment-technology vendor. Overlaps with Perfarm on farm recordkeeping and financial analysis but with much deeper hardware and OEM integration.
• John Deere Operations Center: OEM-backed farm management and data platform tied to Deere equipment. Comparable as a system of record for farm operations but bundled into equipment rather than sold as a standalone product.

Regional players

• Solinftec: Brazil-based agricultural intelligence platform combining field operations, telematics, and agronomic analytics. Competes with Perfarm for Brazilian producer mindshare and budget.
• Agrosmart: Brazilian ag-tech platform for digital agriculture and farm management, with strong ties to large Brazilian producers. Competes with Perfarm for digital farm management budgets in Brazil.
