Montevideo, October 26, 2015 - With the approval of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE), TOTVS with Bematech becomes the largest and most complete provider of business solutions for Retail. The segment is one of the main drivers of the Latin American economy, as it is here where consumers spend $120 million a year, according to a text published by the magazine América Economía [i].
To become more competitive, retailers need to raise their efficiency and increase productivity, an initiative that is only possible with the digitization of companies. "We are in a challenging year for companies. However, in economic times like these, the need to seek efficiency, competitiveness, productivity and cost reduction intensifies. Technology becomes, then, a decisive factor to achieve these objectives. The union with Bematech allows us to offer a complete solution for the digitization of processes in retail companies, from end to end, combining market knowledge and the latest technology at affordable prices," says Rodrigo Kede, president of TOTVS.
With the union, TOTVS and Bematech are able to serve the entire retail chain and combine market knowledge and portfolio complementarity. TOTVS is a leader in management software in Latin America and in the SMB market and Bematech is a leader in technology for the retail sector, with its hardware and software solutions present in more than 50% of the checkouts of automated establishments in Brazil and with more than 500 thousand points of sale.
With the corporate reorganization, together, the companies now provide complete solutions for retailers with physical stores and also for e-commerce companies, in addition to specialized solutions in the most diverse retail sub-segments: food service, supermarkets, retail/wholesale, apparel and footwear, multi-stores, electro-electronics, construction material, pharmaceuticals, hotels, car dealerships, passenger transportation, among others. "Now, with discipline and planning, we will design a new strategy to act together. We will analyze all the products and services whose objective will be to provide customers with the best option in business solutions for the retail sector", complements Kede.
For Bematech's CEO, Cleber Morais, the approval of the partnership with TOTVS consolidates the company's mission, which has always sought to make the retail sector more efficient.

With the digitalization of processes, we believe that we will make this segment, which is so important for the country's economy, even stronger," Morais points out.
