Olisoft

What Olisoft does

Olisoft - Soluções Informáticas, Lda. is a privately-held Portuguese software company founded in 1983 in Leiria, specializing in integrated business management software for the Portuguese and PALOP (Portuguese-speaking African) markets. Its flagship product, SIG (Software Integrado de Gestão), is a Windows-based modular platform running on Access, SQL Server Express, or SQL Server databases and supporting accounting, invoicing, inventory, stock, orders, payroll, treasury, fixed assets, budgetary accounting, and tax declaration modules. SIG is grouped into commercial packs (GCS/GCO/GCA) for businesses of varying sizes, accounting office packs (GBS/GBC/GBA/GBT) for accountants serving multiple clients, enterprise packs (GES/GEA) for medium-sized companies, and specialized terminal and entry-level lines (TVE, SIG Start). The platform carries formal Certification No. 93/AT from the Portuguese Tax Authority under Portaria n.º 302/2016 and supports SAF-T PT for fiscal communication.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time perpetual software licenses, recurring subscriptions (monthly, no minimum commitment), custom development outsourcing, and paid training services. Distribution and implementation are delivered primarily through a nationwide agent and reseller network covering Portugal as well as Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea, with direct enterprise sales handled in-house. Customers are predominantly small and medium-sized Portuguese businesses, accounting practices, and individual entrepreneurs, spanning verticals such as construction, retail, automotive, manufacturing, energy distribution, and nonprofits.

The product surface has been extended beyond its on-premises core with OliCloud.pt (browser-based online management) and a VPS remote work environment. Recent platform evolution has focused on regulatory compliance — including GDPR client-record features (2018), accelerated SAF-T reporting deadlines (2019), and a major SIG 2020 release adding e-Fatura portal integration, PDF digital signature, and Azure-backed encrypted remote services. Olisoft holds the EFQM Committed to Excellence recognition from APQ and is a member of ASSOFT (Associação Portuguesa de Software).
