What SIMPAX does
SIMPAX is a Brazilian technology company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, that builds cloud-based SaaS solutions for access control, time and attendance tracking, and presence management. Its platform centers on proprietary facial recognition with liveness detection, deployed alongside integrated hardware (facial recognition terminals, turnstiles, gates, totems, time clocks) and connected via open API to third-party ERPs, payroll systems, and school management software. The product portfolio is organized around three core lines — Simpax Acesso (access control for businesses and condominiums), Simpax Escola (K-12 access and student safety), and Simpax Ponto (REP/Portaria 671-compliant time and attendance with geolocation) — supplemented by mobile apps (Simpax Geoloc, Geoface, Simpax Ronda, Simpax Recep) and AI-powered camera modules for behavior and intrusion detection. The company emphasizes full LGPD compliance, with an appointed DPO.
SIMPAX generates revenue through a bundled SaaS subscription plus hardware plus implementation services model, sold on a quote-based, annual billing cycle via a consultative, sales-led motion that begins with a free technical diagnostic. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise outreach with content marketing (blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) and event-driven demand generation, including the upcoming Bett Brasil 2026 debut and previous Sinepe/ES congress participation. Target segments are K-12 schools (primary), corporate enterprises, residential condominiums, and healthcare facilities, with a disclosed installed base of 200+ customers processing 200,000+ daily access validations, of which 25,000+ daily student events flow through Simpax Escola. Notable logos include SENAC, Maple Bear, COMLURB, Arlanxeo, Charles River Laboratories, Oceanpact, and APSA. Operations remain concentrated in Brazil with no international footprint disclosed. The company is privately held, has 18 employees, and has no disclosed external equity funding beyond a 2013 FAPERJ Technological Innovation grant.
