LHP

What LHP does

LHP Informática (legal name LHP Consultoria em informática ltda) is a privately held, founder-owned Brazilian IT consulting firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The company operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and delivers two practice areas: systems integration around an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture, and custom systems development using agile methods. Its client base is entirely domestic (Brazil), reached through direct B2B sales via the company website and telephone, with no disclosed pricing, named customers, awards, partnerships, or institutional investors.

The firm's technology foundation is centered on an ESB integration layer implemented on InterSystems Cache and Ensemble platforms, supporting connectivity via File, SOAP, JSON, HTTP, and RFC protocols for high-availability environments. On top of this integration backbone, LHP has built and sells a small proprietary ERP product portfolio tailored to Brazilian electronic fiscal compliance: ERP Serviços for Nota Fiscal de Serviços Eletrônica (NFSe), ERP Produtos for Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NFe), and a Módulo Emissor de NFe add-on that allows third-party systems to emit product invoices. Web and front-end work is delivered using Angular, HTML5, JavaScript, and Node.js.

LHP earns revenue primarily through professional-services engagements — consulting, project management, and custom development on a per-project basis — combined with licensing/usage of its proprietary ERP and NFe emitter products. The firm has been continuously bootstrapped since founding, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, subsidiaries, certifications, social-media presence, or leadership changes. All evidence points to a stable, single-location boutique consultancy that has sustained operations for over two decades without visible expansion in headcount, geography, or product surface.

Core offering

LHP provides professional IT consulting services focused on system integration via Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture and custom software development using agile methodologies. The company also sells proprietary ERP products—ERP Serviços for electronic service invoice (NFSe) billing and financial management, ERP Produtos for electronic product invoice (NFe) billing and financial management—and an NFe emission module that enables third-party systems to issue product invoices.

Product overview

LHP offers a unified ERP platform with two core product variants (ERP Serviços and ERP Produtos) designed for electronic invoice management, complemented by an add-on module (Módulo Emissor de NFe) that enables other systems to emit NFe invoices. The product portfolio is supported by two service pillars: System Integration using Enterprise Service Bus architecture and Custom Systems Development using agile methodologies. The ERP products handle billing and financial management for service and product invoice issuance respectively, while the integration service connects disparate systems through various protocols to automate operations and reduce costs.
