Its customer mix spans enterprise accounts (Santa Casa de Porto Alegre, FIERGS, Grupo a+, SETCERGS, Jestfly, Termolar) and SMB clients (Mudrá Design, Gota Limpa, Guitaríssima, Demà), with several long-term relationships dating back to 2005. Ownership and direction remain with the Reis and Mendes founding families; Alexandre Reis, Lourival Reis, Regis Mendes, and Rodrigo Mendes serve as directors.
