Scanntech

Scanntech is a retail data company that collects point-of-sale information from stores and sells analysis built on it to consumer goods manufacturers and to retailers. It works across Latin America, with offices in Montevideo and São Paulo. On 13 October 2026 it announced a $180 million Series F round led by L Catterton, with Partners Group as co-lead and Bradesco and SPX taking part.

What it does

The company reads sales at the level of individual receipts and turns them into reports for the people who sell and stock packaged goods. Its website describes tools for comparing price, product mix and distribution by store and by item, including against competitors, and for checking promotions at the shelf. Other modules cover market analysis by region, share comparison, retail inventory planning and a monthly report on sales in regional supermarkets and wholesalers. Scanntech states that its point-of-sale data covers more than 80% of retail sell-out in the markets where it operates.

Who it serves

Manufacturers and distributors of consumer goods are the main buyers, and Scanntech says more than 600 of them use it. Retailers are the other side: the stores whose receipts feed the data also receive services from the company. Its own pages name large food, beverage and household brands among customers, and supermarket and convenience chains among retail clients. Operations run in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Uruguay, and the site is published in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
