ACSN

What ACSN does

ACSN Soluções is a privately held Brazilian software company founded in 1995 in Salto, São Paulo, that develops business automation and management software primarily for micro, small, and mid-market retail and manufacturing companies in Brazil. Its core product portfolio comprises ConnectStore POS (a mobile point-of-sale leveraging Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone), ConnectStore Gestão para Lojas (a retail management system for sales, inventory, fiscal document emission, and digital payments), ConnectFlex (a multi-unit ERP with real-time operational reporting), a Loja Virtual e-commerce platform, and a Manufatura manufacturing module. Technology infrastructure is cloud-based, hosted across partnerships with AWS and Microsoft, with iOS integration via Apple, and integrates multiple Brazilian and global payment processors (Itaú, Stripe, Mercado Pago) along with POS hardware partners (NCR, Tectoy, ControlID).

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales for ConnectFlex ERP deployments, a dealer/reseller network (ConnectStore partner program) for mid-market reach, and self-serve web and mobile channels (ConnectStore.app, ConnectStore.com.br) for SMB customers. Revenue mechanics span SaaS subscriptions, one-time software licenses, and channel partner sales, with quote-based pricing and no public tiers. Customer acquisition relies on a multi-language website (Portuguese, Spanish, English), WhatsApp Business communication, content marketing via blog, and a strong referral culture evidenced by long-tenured customer relationships (15-25+ years). With 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no management team publicly identified, ACSN operates as an independent, founder-controlled software vendor serving over 6,000 cumulative customers across Brazil with claimed national and international coverage.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• TOTVS: Largest Brazilian enterprise software company with broad ERP, management and SaaS offerings. Directly comparable because it sells SMB and mid-market management/ERP platforms in Brazil, the same market ACSN serves with ConnectFlex and ConnectStore.
• SAP Business One: Global SMB-targeted ERP platform with strong presence in Brazil. Comparable to ACSN's ConnectFlex ERP offering, especially for SMB manufacturers and multi-unit retailers seeking integrated business management.
• VTEX: Brazilian-born enterprise e-commerce and digital commerce platform. Comparable because it competes with ACSN's Loja Virtual offering for Brazilian merchants seeking online sales capabilities, though VTEX is more enterprise-focused.
• Oracle NetSuite: Cloud ERP aimed at mid-market and SMB businesses. Comparable to ConnectFlex because it offers cloud-based, multi-unit business management for SMB and mid-market companies in retail and light manufacturing.

Direct peers

• Linx (StoneCo): Brazilian retail management software and POS vendor now owned by StoneCo. Highly comparable to ACSN because both target Brazilian retail SMBs with POS, store-management and ERP-style solutions; StoneCo also layers payments on top, a direction ACSN is approaching via Tap to Pay.
• Conta Azul: Brazilian cloud SaaS for SMB management, accounting and sales. Comparable because it sells recurring management software to Brazilian micro and small businesses, overlapping with ACSN's ConnectStore/ConnectFlex SMB target audience.

Emerging players

• Olist: Brazilian commerce enablement platform for SMB retailers and brands. Comparable to ACSN's Loja Virtual and ConnectStore offerings because both serve Brazilian SMB merchants adopting digital sales channels.
• Stone Co. Leading Brazilian payments and SMB POS provider. Comparable because Stone combines payments with management software (Linx, Ton, Pagar.me) targeting the same SMB retail customer that ACSN serves with ConnectStore POS.
• PagSeguro: Brazilian payments and POS provider for SMB merchants. Comparable because PagSeguro's Moderninha POS and SMB software stack directly overlaps with ACSN's mobile POS and ConnectStore retail management offerings.

Regional players

• Tray (Locaweb): Brazilian e-commerce platform focused on small and mid-sized merchants. Comparable to ACSN's Loja Virtual because both enable Brazilian SMBs to launch online stores and sell digitally.
