CADES

What CADES does

CADES is a privately held Brazilian IT integration and automation company founded in 2012, headquartered at Avenida Pereira Barreto 1479 in São Bernardo do Campo, Greater São Paulo. The company specializes in automating inbound fiscal and non-fiscal document processing for enterprises running SAP ERP systems in Brazil. Its platform automates the entry of NF-e (electronic invoices), CT-e (transport documents), and NFS-e (service invoices) along with non-fiscal documents such as utility bills, tax guides, spreadsheets, and reimbursement documents directly into SAP via modules including MIGO, MIRO, dynamic purchase order creation, Writer, Blind Conference, MDE, Req, and KPI.

The product suite is organized around three core offerings: CADES Inbound (the central automation hub), CADES Captura Fiscal (fiscal document capture built on Avalara's Portal de Captura and TaxDocs Monitor), and CADES Captura (unstructured document capture with OCR). The platform ingests documents from multiple sources simultaneously — including Sefaz APIs, municipal prefecture interfaces, email, directories, cloud, RFC, and SAP tables — and processes them using OCR engines from Microsoft Cognitive Services, AWS Rekognition, and Google Cloud Vision. An AI-powered Association module automatically matches fiscal documents to corresponding purchase orders using multiple identification methods. CADES has accumulated 213,679,152 documents processed since 2012.

CADES generates revenue through a combination of software licensing/subscriptions for its modular product suite and professional services for SAP integration implementations. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales with contact-based pricing and multi-year contracts; all product pages feature "FALE CONOSCO" (Contact Us) CTAs. The company is an official member of the SAP PartnerEdge Open Ecosystem and maintains a strategic implementation partnership with Avalara. In 2024, CADES merged with Grupo Vinco, combining its inbound automation expertise with Vinco's fiscal emission and compliance capabilities to deliver an end-to-end fiscal journey. Named enterprise clients include EVT, Teixeira Duarte, Lavvi, Coop, and Algar, spanning events, construction, real estate, retail cooperative, and telecommunications verticals. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range and the company serves clients throughout Brazil from a single headquarters location.

Core offering

CADES develops and licenses a modular SAP-centric automation platform that captures, integrates, and processes fiscal documents (NF-e, CT-e, NFS-e) and non-fiscal documents (accounts, tax guides, spreadsheets, reimbursements) for inbound entry into SAP ERP. The platform consists of three core products — CADES Inbound (central automation hub), CADES Captura Fiscal (built on Avalara for fiscal document capture), and CADES Captura (OCR-based unstructured document capture) — delivered with implementation and customization professional services to Brazilian enterprise clients running SAP.

Product overview

CADES offers a modular document automation platform built around three core products: CADES Inbound (the main automation hub), CADES Captura Fiscal (fiscal document capture), and CADES Captura (unstructured document capture). CADES Inbound serves as the central platform connecting to SAP ERP, while CADES Captura Fiscal handles NF-e, CT-e, and NFS-e documents through Avalara integration, and CADES Captura manages non-fiscal documents like bills and spreadsheets with OCR capabilities. The platform operates through multiple interconnected modules including MIGO, MIRO, PO Creation, AI Association, DDD, Monitor, Delivery, Blind Verification, MDE, Req, Writer, and KPI modules. The company merged with VINCO Group in 2024 to provide end-to-end fiscal journey from document emission to compliance management.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• SAP: The enterprise platform CADES builds upon and integrates with. SAP is the core enabling ecosystem (PartnerEdge) for CADES, and also a potential competitor if SAP expands native fiscal automation capabilities within S/4HANA.
• Deloitte: Big Four professional services firm with significant SAP consulting, tax, and enterprise application practices in Brazil. Deloitte competes with CADES at the high end of large-enterprise SAP fiscal and finance transformation engagements.
• Accenture: Global systems integrator with a large SAP practice serving Brazilian enterprises. Accenture competes indirectly with CADES by offering broader, end-to-end SAP implementation and managed services that can absorb niche automation scope.

Broad incumbents

• TOTVS: Largest Brazilian enterprise software company and ERP vendor, serving the same large-enterprise SAP-competitive customer base in Brazil. TOTVS offers broader ERP, fiscal, and back-office suites that overlap with CADES's automation layer but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Sovos: Global tax compliance and fiscal document software provider serving enterprises with indirect tax determination, e-invoicing, and reporting. Sovos competes with CADES in the broader fiscal document automation category across multiple geographies.
• Avalara: Global tax compliance software company whose Portal de Captura and TaxDocs Monitor products power CADES Captura Fiscal. Avalara offers overlapping fiscal document capture and compliance capabilities in Brazil, making it both a partner and a competitive incumbent.
• Senior Sistemas: Brazilian ERP and management software vendor serving mid-to-large enterprises with integrated ERP, fiscal, and back-office modules. Overlaps with CADES's fiscal automation value proposition but as part of a broader horizontal ERP suite.
• Thomson Reuters (ONESOURCE): Global tax and regulatory compliance software provider whose ONESOURCE suite addresses indirect tax determination and reporting. Comparable to CADES in serving enterprise fiscal/tax compliance workflows but with a much broader portfolio and global reach.

Direct peers

• Grupo Vinco: Brazilian fiscal compliance software company focused on fiscal document emission, management, and tax compliance. CADES merged with Grupo Vinco in 2024 to create an end-to-end fiscal journey — they are direct counterparts operating in adjacent halves of the same Brazilian fiscal document workflow.
• Seidor: Global SAP-focused consulting and integration firm with strong presence in Brazil and Latin America. Seidor competes directly with CADES in delivering SAP integration and automation projects for mid-to-large enterprises in the region.
