What Macle Sistemas Ltda does

Macle Sistemas Ltda is a privately held Brazilian software provider, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Estância Velha, that delivers an integrated ERP, e-commerce, and payments platform purpose-built for fashion and footwear retail. The company's flagship offering combines Macle Controle (ERP for inventory, sales, finance, and fiscal operations), Macle E-commerce (online storefront with SEO and marketplace integration), and Macle Pagamentos (Smart TEF payment processing with Pix, NFC, and parcel anticipation), all on a hybrid cloud-local architecture that allows offline point-of-sale operation and self-correcting synchronization across channels via an immutable action-ledger. Native domain constructs — grade (size/color grid), collection lifecycle, model, and brand — are first-class entities, addressing a structural weakness of generic ERPs in fashion retail. Integrations include Mercado Livre, SPC Brasil, Meta Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, alongside LGPD-compliant data handling.

The platform is sold on a monthly subscription basis across four tiered plans (Autônomo at R$129.90, Básico at R$209.90, Ideal at R$289.90, and Enterprise at R$690 per month) with optional add-on modules (e-commerce R$490-690/month, crediário R$84.90/month) and a 10% annual prepay discount. Go-to-market combines a self-serve PLG motion (online registration, no-commitment monthly plans, free demonstrations) with consultative direct sales for the Enterprise tier. Smart TEF generates transaction-fee revenue on roughly R$20 million in monthly processed volume; parcel anticipation adds a working-capital revenue stream. Macle reports 1,500+ customers, all in Brazil, spanning micro/MEI businesses through retail chains, while operating with a reported 1-10 person team and no disclosed external funding, indicating a lean, bootstrapped, SMB-focused business model.

Recent product investment has emphasized AI-driven predictive purchasing analytics and an automated WhatsApp-based CRM engine for personalized campaigns, layered atop the consolidated transactional dataset. The company remains founder-owned with no disclosed investors, M&A activity, or plans for geographic diversification beyond Brazil.

Core offering

Macle Sistemas provides an integrated SaaS platform combining ERP, e-commerce, and payment processing tailored for Brazilian fashion and footwear retail stores. The platform unifies inventory, sales, finance, fiscal (NF-e/NFC-e), and omnichannel operations, with native handling of product variations by size and color, offline-capable point-of-sale, and Smart TEF payment terminals that process Pix, NFC, and installment transactions. It is sold via monthly subscription tiers and add-on modules to retail businesses across Brazil.

Product overview

Macle Sistemas offers a unified omnichannel retail management platform consisting of three core integrated products: Macle Controle (ERP system for complete inventory, sales, finance, and fiscal management), Macle E-commerce (online sales platform with SEO optimization and marketplace integration), and Macle Pagamentos (payment processing with Smart TEF). The platform supports specialized retail functions like grade/size-color inventory management, installment credit, and franchise operations. Two deployment versions are available: Plano Light (cloud-based, subscription tiers for small-medium businesses) and Plano Full/Enterprise (local installation option with unlimited users for large retail networks). Additional modules include Smart TEF payment terminals, mobile sales app, credit management, and franchise tools.
