Kunden Systems

What Kunden Systems does

Kunden Systems is a Brazilian privately-held software firm headquartered in Dois Irmãos, Rio Grande do Sul, that develops and delivers enterprise management software for industrial manufacturers across Latin America. Its core offering is Kunden ERP, a modular management system covering commercial, administrative, and industrial processes, supplemented by Romans CAD (a 2D/3D CAD and PDM solution for footwear, bags, and accessories with cost calculation and cutting optimization modules), iVendre (a product catalog and order management application), BI (real-time business intelligence and monitoring), and Romans Cad DM (a web-accessible technical data management module). The Romans CAD suite connects to Kunden ERP through the Data Management module, enabling design-to-production workflows including 2D piece editing, 3D virtual collection creation, pre-costing, and cutting. The platform also integrates with industrial hardware such as electronic scales, barcode readers, RFID devices, labeling machines, and Industry 4.0 manufacturing equipment for real-time production data capture.

The company's primary vertical is footwear manufacturing, where it claims more than 30 years of specialized experience, and has extended its ERP into adjacent industrial segments including tanneries (with factory floor automation, drum formula management, batch traceability), cold storage facilities/frigoríficos (with full process integration from animal reception through dispatch), laminates/synthetics/components (with Industry 4.0 and WMS), and apparel. The company states presence throughout Latin America for footwear manufacturing solutions.

Kunden Systems operates a direct enterprise field sales model with consultative engagement, supported by a remote support portal, cloud-based CRM (kundencloud.com.br), and downloadable resources. Revenue is generated through ERP and CAD/PDM software subscriptions and licenses, professional services including business consultancy, project development and user training, and ongoing support and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based with solutions adapted to client size, and no pricing details are publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, and the management team is not detailed in the source materials.
