Flowing Rivers Technologies

What Flowing Rivers Technologies does

Flowing Rivers Technologies (FRT) is a privately held Latin American IT solutions integrator headquartered in Guatemala City, founded in 2011 by Jorge Juárez along with five engineers and his wife María José Casafont, and operating under the alternative trade names FRT and Frtlatam. The firm delivers customized technology solutions spanning five core verticals: compute and cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, networks and connectivity, radio frequency solutions, and outsourcing services, complemented by structured cabling, internal/external plant services, CNOC/NOC administration, managed IT, custom software development and project consulting. Its product portfolio largely consists of resale, integration and managed services around third-party OEM technologies from a broad partner network (Cisco, Juniper, Hillstone, Huawei, Fortinet, HPE, Dell, Synology, Seagate, Accedian, QNAP, Grandstream and others), including AI-enabled offerings such as Juniper SD-WAN powered by Mist AI and Hillstone I-Series BDS.

The company serves enterprise customers, telecommunications providers, financial institutions and government entities across at least seven Central American countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua and additional geographies), with named customers including Claro, Tigo, Scotiabank and the Government of Guatemala. Its go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales team, a mid-market inside-sales motion driven by website quote requests, and channel sales through technology partner networks. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware and infrastructure resale, professional services, staff augmentation/outsourcing, recurring managed IT services and cloud/infrastructure subscriptions, with pricing handled on a custom-quote basis.

FRT also operates FuPanCor (Fundación Pancita Llena Corazón Contento), a non-profit foundation supporting disadvantaged children in Central America through nutrition, education and emotional support programs. The company has no disclosed external funding, no reported revenue, no parent company, and underwent a leadership change following the 2021 passing of founder and CEO Jorge Juárez García-Salas. Headcount is stated at 850+ collaborators against a 251-500 employee band in third-party data, with 36 strategic partners, 100+ customers and 70+ documented success cases.
