What Tech Union Soluções em TI does

Tech Union Soluções em TI is a privately held Brazilian IT solutions company founded in 2000 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company operates as a vertically specialized IT provider for retail and SMB clients, with a product portfolio anchored in proprietary fiscal compliance software — the Lifix family (Lifix NF-e for electronic invoice management and Lifix PDV for point-of-sale) and the SAT CF-e system for electronic fiscal coupon authentication — alongside broader IT infrastructure, cloud, backup, e-commerce, website, and consulting services. Technology is delivered as a combination of on-premise software (Lifix suite, integrated with Brazilian fiscal systems such as EFD, SPED, and Nota Fiscal Paulista) and hosted cloud services (cloud computing, cloud backup, Microsoft Exchange hosting, and e-commerce infrastructure), with revenue earned through software subscriptions, hardware sales, cloud services, and project-based consulting.

The go-to-market is sales-led and SMB-focused: distribution runs through direct phone sales, WhatsApp, website quote-request forms, and on-site support in São Paulo, with no public pricing and no enterprise named-account strategy. Over 20 years of market presence, the company has built a regulatory moat in São Paulo-specific fiscal automation (Lifix SAT CF-e is homologated for SAT compliance) and a modest switching-cost moat through bundled IT management across multiple client systems. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no patents, no published revenue, no headcount data, and no recent scaling signals — indicating a stable, locally embedded SMB rather than a venture-track business.
