What Level Group does

Level Group (legal name: Level Consultoria em Gestão Empresarial Ltda.) is a São Paulo-headquartered Brazilian procurement and supply chain consultancy founded in 2006, serving large enterprises across 10 countries (Brazil, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, China, and India). It operates five business lines: Level Consultoria (strategic sourcing, spend assessment, market analysis, ESG advisory), Level Gestão (managed services for supplier, contract, third-party, fleet, and environmental risk management), Level Digital (proprietary technology platforms), Level BPO (strategic procurement outsourcing), and Level Academy (corporate e-learning on procurement, supply chain, LGPD, and cybersecurity).

The company has built a proprietary technology stack including Banian (supplier risk management with 100+ evaluation attributes), ProcureOn (AI-powered procurement automation using machine learning and data lakes that compresses the purchasing journey by up to 40%), blueEz (e-procurement), FUP365 (digital follow-up with automated billing), Cataloteca (UNSPSC-based material cataloging), and Listtá (supplier qualification), supported by AI capabilities spanning OCR, NLP, recommendation engines, and anomaly detection.

Level Group generates revenue through professional services fees, managed services/BPO contracts, subscription-based technology licensing (typically multi-year enterprise contracts), and corporate training. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account teams, supported by an inbound WhatsApp/contact-form funnel and content marketing through blog, webinars, and the Prêmio Destaque em Gestão de Risco de Fornecedores award program (run with Procurement Club). Marquee clients include Banco Carrefour, Ypê, Elopar, Petrobras, Atacadão, Fleury, Cielo, and Mercado Livre; the firm reports 2,000+ projects executed and R$10 billion in cumulative client savings, though company-level revenue is not publicly disclosed.
