Process automation for Brazilian companies needs to account for local particulars: multiple CNPJs, date formats, and native integration with ERPs used in the country, like Omie and Conta Azul, without relying on intermediaries.

Companies in Brazil tend to operate with more complex corporate structures than in other markets: holdings, branches, franchises, and multiple ERP accounts are common even in mid sized businesses. Generic tools don't always keep up with that reality.

On top of that, Brazil's regulatory environment demands extra attention to the tax and accounting side, which remains the ERP's job. Operational process automation needs to connect to that ERP, not try to replace it.

## Common pain points

- Multiple CNPJs and ERP accounts without central orchestration
- Operational processes disconnected from the company's financial ERP
- Reliance on spreadsheets to manage approvals, vendors, and clients
- Lack of standardization across branches or franchises within the same network
- Operational communication via WhatsApp with no history or traceability
- IT teams overloaded maintaining integrations through external intermediaries

## How it works in practice

- Processes like approvals, CRM, and recruitment are structured outside the ERP, but connected to it
- Approved entries automatically flow to the ERP, which handles the tax and accounting side
- Multiple ERP accounts (holdings, franchises, headquarters, and branches) are orchestrated in a single workflow
- Button or trigger based automations replace repetitive manual steps
- Natively integrated WhatsApp centralizes operational communication with clients and vendors
- Execution logs document every automation, making internal audits easier
