What Sinfic does

SINFIC — Sistemas de Informação Industriais SA — is a privately held software and IT-services company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Luanda, Angola, with a branch office in Amadora, Portugal. The company builds and operates a portfolio of proprietary enterprise and government platforms, organized around three pillars: Enterprise Digital (DECISOR ERP/BI, BIOSEGUR access-control and attendance suite, Quatenus mobility suite for fleets, machines and field teams, niuGIS geospatial platform, electronic-forms/MyDoc, TRULY+ loyalty platform), State Digital (BUAP single-window citizen-service counters, integrated electoral registration, municipal portals), and a Lab Digital incubation track of pending 360° solutions covering justice, property/cadaster, land reserve, social inclusion and mobile money.

The technology stack combines multi-tenant ERP, GIS integrated with Esri, GPS/telemetry device management, biometric identification (fingerprints, ID-card integration), computer-vision document recognition and UAV/satellite imagery for cadastral surveys. SINFIC maintains CMMI Level 2 and Level 3 certifications, ISO 9001:2000 quality certification, and BSI/BCP accreditation for ISO 27001 and ISO 25000 training and auditing across Portugal, Angola and Mozambique. Its DECISOR ERP holds tax-authority certifications from both AGT Angola (certificate 64/AGT/2019) and AT Portugal (certificate 1953), enabling cross-border enterprise deployments.

The business model combines multi-year government system-integration contracts (electoral cycles, national census, BUAP rollout across 164 Angolan municipalities, INSS social-security platform), subscription/SaaS revenue from the Quatenus and mobile platforms, and professional services for ERP implementation and consulting. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales to government and large enterprises, complemented by channel partners — Quatenus Angola for nationwide mobility distribution, Bioglobal for BIOSEGUR in Portugal, and AgileFactor for TRULY+. The company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries (Quatenus Angola/WWIL and Newdecision) and operates with no external institutional investment or parent company.
