What Sisponto does

Sisponto is a Brazilian privately-held provider of time-tracking (controle de ponto) and access-control (controle de acesso) solutions, founded approximately 30 years ago and headquartered in Boa Esperança, Minas Gerais, with a regional office in Belo Horizonte. The company serves more than 20,000 clients across all Brazilian states and territories, spanning small, medium, and large enterprises in both the public and private sectors. Its stated positioning emphasizes complete, integrated solutions rather than fragmented point products, so that customers do not have to coordinate across multiple vendors.

The product portfolio spans hardware, software, and mobile applications. Hardware includes Ministry-of-Labor-approved electronic time clocks (REP) in biometric, proximity card, barcode, and facial-recognition variants, plus turnstiles, barriers, and consumables. Software includes the Sisponto RH desktop application for hour calculation and regulatory compliance (Portaria 1.510/2009, 373/2011, 671/2021), the Sisponto Web cloud platform for real-time HR dashboards, and Sisponto RH Light for reporting. Mobile applications include Sisponto Mobile (remote punch registration with facial recognition, liveness detection, GPS geofencing, and offline synchronization) and Sisponto Gerente (manager dashboards). Industry-specific modules extend the platform into canteen control, security patrol monitoring, racetrack timing, hotel/motel operations, agricultural labor tracking, and gym/club access control. Biometric data is processed under LGPD-compliant irreversible mathematical models.

Sisponto generates revenue from software subscriptions and licenses (recurring), hardware sales (one-time), and professional services/implementation support. Pricing is quote-based, customized to company size and requirements, with no public pricing disclosure. The go-to-market is direct sales-led: a national toll-free televendas line (0800-333-7330), regional offices, the corporate website, and an active content-marketing blog covering Brazilian labor law topics. The company is bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds, parent company, or acquisitions disclosed, and operates as a self-sustaining independent private business.
