RS

What RS does

RS, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a privately-held B2B services firm specialized in the Latin American automotive sector. The company's flagship is Nyvus.net, a proprietary market intelligence platform that delivers monthly pricing (including traditional and financing bonuses), 200+ vehicle specifications per unit, and integrated sales-volume analytics across 15+ LATAM and Caribbean markets spanning Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bolivia, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. RS serves approximately 120 enterprise clients per year (per its Spanish-language site), with named customers including major automotive OEMs such as Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Fiat, Peugeot, Renault, and Dodge.

The operating model spans five integrated business units: (1) automotive market intelligence, (2) market research (ad hoc studies, customer satisfaction trackings, research innovation), (3) training and capacitation (key-in-hand programs, product comparisons, in-company training, event coordination), (4) custom software development using Angular, Bootstrap, C# .Net, and SCRUM agile methodologies, and (5) a 50-position in-house call center operating since 2002 with CATI/CAWI software. RS maintains regional offices in Argentina (HQ, Buenos Aires), Chile (Santiago), Colombia (Bogotá), Mexico (Mexico City), and Brazil (São Paulo), supporting direct B2B engagement with automotive manufacturers across the region.

Revenue is generated predominantly through customized B2B engagements and multi-year contracts: subscription/recurring revenue from Nyvus.net market intelligence subscriptions and project-based professional services revenue from ad hoc research, training programs, custom software development, and call center operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped per engagement. The company headcount is reported at 70 (Spanish-language site) versus 130 (English-language site), an inconsistency likely reflecting a synchronization issue between language versions of the site; the lower figure should be treated as more current until reconciled. Outside of its core automotive focus, RS's software origins (since 1994) and historical engagements in banking and medical imaging indicate latent horizontal capability that is not currently commercialized at scale.
