Qconz America Latina Consultoria E Treinamento

What Qconz America Latina Consultoria E Treinamento does

QCONZ América Latina Consultoria e Treinamento is the Brazilian and Latin American arm of QCONZ (Quality Consultants of New Zealand), headquartered in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It operates as a vertically integrated dairy and agricultural quality consulting firm serving dairy processors (laticínios), rural milk producers, and government agricultural agencies. The company's stated purpose is to apply New Zealand dairy expertise — described as originating from one of the world's lowest GHG-emission dairy systems — to the Brazilian market, addressing milk quality (CCS, CPP, MRST), regulatory compliance with IN 77, and on-farm efficiency.

The company runs three core technology products alongside its consulting practice. QCONZ SYNC is a customizable mobile data capture application with offline capability, GPS, photo/signature capture, and a drag-and-drop form builder, syncing to Microsoft SQL Server databases; it is available on Android and iOS. InformationLeader (iLeader) is a web-based enterprise information management platform for auditing, quality assurance, document management, and supply chain compliance, represented in New Zealand through a partnership with Brisbane-based Theta Technologies. Virtual Coach is a premium eLearning platform with over 500 training modules and an integrated LMS for course administration. Supporting products include FARMSCOPE (field team task management), TRACKER (red meat industry calf-transport compliance), and the BPA Pilares agricultural best-practices management system.

Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services (consulting engagements, technical assistance, auditing), training programs (delivered via Virtual Coach and in-person), and recurring software subscriptions/licensing (SYNC, InformationLeader, LMS). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a contact-based, quote-driven model with multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct consulting relationships with dairy companies and government entities (notably MAPA's Mais Leite Saudável program covering 386.9 million reais across five Brazilian states and 80,000 producers), supplemented by partner referrals and mobile app self-distribution. Notable enterprise customers include Lactalis do Brasil, DPA Brasil, Tirolez, Betania, Catupiry, Cruzilia, Vale Milk, Fonterra, Miraka, and Lactalis Australia. The team consists of approximately 12 to 25 staff including CEO Bernard Woodcock, an IT supervisor, administrative coordinator, two technical supervisors, and specialized consultants (veterinarians, zootechnists, agronomists).
