Overview
Scanntech provides retail intelligence and analytics for consumer-goods manufacturers, distributors and grocery retailers across Latin America. The Uruguay-founded company connects to point-of-sale systems to analyze pricing, promotions, demand and sales performance. Brazil Journal reported an approximately $180 million growth transaction in October 2026 led by L Catterton, with Partners Group and Bradesco participating; roughly half was reported as primary capital and half as secondary share purchases.
Why Scanntech is interesting
Scanntech's defensibility comes from access to granular, real-world checkout data and long-standing retailer relationships across Latin America, assets that generic analytics software cannot quickly reproduce.

Competitive landscape
Edge: A large network of grocery checkout integrations, historical transaction data and relationships with retailers and consumer-goods manufacturers across Latin America.
Scanntech competes with retail data providers, enterprise analytics platforms and internal retailer data teams. Its advantage depends on breadth, freshness and permissioned access to checkout data; its risk is customer concentration, data-rights constraints and global analytics firms expanding locally.
