Simetric

What Simetric does

Simetric S.A. is a Colombian Centro de Reconocimiento de Conductores (CRC) founded around 2004 that provides legally mandated medical certification examinations for driver's licenses, firearm permits, and corporate road safety compliance. The company operates 20+ physical locations across Colombia's Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoquía, and Andean regions, with a concentration of sites in Bogotá, and serves both individual citizens and corporate clients through online appointment scheduling (sofya.simetric.com.co), WhatsApp booking, and a dedicated commercial team handling enterprise accounts.

The company's core service portfolio comprises three product lines: psychophysical examinations for driving license issuance, recategorization, and renewal (under Law 769 of 2002); medical certificates for civilian firearm possession and private security personnel (under Resolution 2984 of 2007, Law 1119 of 2006, and Law 1539 of 2012); and psycho-sensometric evaluations under corporate PESV (Plan Estratégico de Seguridad Vial) frameworks per Resolution 1565 of 2014. All certifications are issued with direct integration to Colombia's national traffic registry (RUNT), enabling immediate digital publication and validation of examination results. Multidisciplinary clinical staff covering general medicine, audiology, optometry, speech therapy, and psychology deliver the full certification modules at each site in a single-visit model.

Simetric generates revenue through transaction-based fees for individual certification examinations, supplemented by bulk corporate bookings from private security companies and ARL (Administradoras de Riesgos Laborales) channel partnerships. The company holds accreditations from ONAC, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Transportation, which collectively constitute the regulatory barrier to entry for the certification market. Its enterprise customer base is heavily concentrated in the Colombian private security sector, with named accounts including G4S, Securitas Colombia, Mastin Seguridad, Sepecol, Servigtec, Seguridad Omega, and others, while its retail driver examination market provides high-volume transactional revenue across the consumer base.
