What NúcleoGov does

NúcleoGov – Assessoria e Tecnologia is a privately held Brazilian SaaS and services company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Goiânia (Goiás) with a regional office in Palmas (Tocantins). The company specializes in public transparency and digital governance solutions for Brazilian government institutions. Its core product is a modular, web-based platform with responsive design that powers two flagship offerings: institutional websites (Sites Institucionais) for government entities and an integrated Transparency Portal (Portal da Transparência Integrado) that publishes public spending, contracts, bids, salaries, and other government data in real time. The platform also includes a customizable module builder, an automated alert tool for mandatory publication deadlines, an ombudsman/citizen information service, and a digital legislative process module (Nexlegis), with two wholly-owned sub-brands (Leis Digitais and Nexlegis) extending the portfolio into municipal legislation and legislative process digitization.

The platform is complemented by recurring hosting, email management, and official gazette (Diário Oficial) services, plus a monthly Transparency Advisory service (Assessoria em Transparência) that runs Tribunal de Contas-simulated audits over 200+ items and provides legal/compliance support to client governments. NúcleoGov sells predominantly via direct sales led from the Goiânia and Palmas offices, with dedicated WhatsApp and phone numbers for government buyers, and has recently added partner/reseller programs. Pricing is custom quote-based with annual billing cadence; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Revenue streams are split between recurring subscriptions (websites, transparency portal, hosting, email, gazette, legislative modules) and professional services (audits, consulting, training).

The company serves a single vertical — Brazilian public sector — and claims 600+ institutional customers across 15 states, including municipal prefectures (notably Goiânia, Campo Grande, Palmas, Águas Lindas, Trindade, Cáceres), City Chambers (Câmaras Municipais), courts, public institutes, consortia, and public companies, reaching more than 7 million citizens. Outcomes cited include 199 of the top 200 ranked Goiás municipalities as clients, Diamond Seal certification for 100+ clients in 9 states, 1st-place rankings in four states' Transparency Radars, and client transparency scores 65% above the national average. The company is founder-led by CEO Barnabé Neto, operates with 50+ multidisciplinary professionals (software engineering, administrative law, public management, customer service), and has not disclosed any external institutional investors.
