Synectia

What Synectia does

Synectia Software S.L. is a privately held Spanish micro-enterprise founded in August 2014 by Juan Jesús Martínez and headquartered in Alcoy, Alicante. The company develops cross-platform enterprise software and provides IT services for SMEs, public entities, business associations, training centers, and professional firms primarily in the Valencian Community, Murcia, and broader Spanish market. Its product portfolio centers on vertical SaaS applications, with the flagship being EmpleActiva®, an employment management and labor intermediation platform handling candidates, CVs, training, job offers, and SEPE XML compliance reporting. Supporting products include customized employment portals, a SCORM 1.2-compatible e-Learning platform, custom ERP/CRM solutions, a project management tool, a grants and subsidies portal, an innovation cluster diagnostic platform, and technology directories.

The company generates revenue through a mix of subscription SaaS fees (EmpleActiva® and other platforms), one-time licenses and custom development projects, professional services (cybersecurity audits, penetration testing, digital forensics, digital marketing), and infrastructure reselling (hosting, domains, cloud). Synectia operates as an authorized Agente Digitalizador under Spain's Kit Digital program, which channels subsidized SME digitalization contracts to the company. Distribution is sales-led and direct, with no public marketing automation or self-serve funnel; customers reach the company via website contact forms, email, and phone consultations, with demo requests available for software platforms.

Operationally, Synectia operates from a single headquarters in Alcoy with 1-10 employees, consistent with a founder-led consultancy structure. The founder's individual expertise — 30 years of enterprise software development and 20+ years of web development experience dating to 1995-1996 — is a central asset. The company holds the registered trademarks Synectia® and EmpleActiva® and maintains vendor partnerships with Microsoft, OVH, Lenovo, Dell, Bitdefender, CloudBerry, Macrium, Stellar, and GoGetSSL. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, M&A activity, expansion outside the Iberian market, or product launches outside the existing portfolio.
