Operations platform for mid-sized companies in Latin America: people, purchasing and sales.

You have the information. You're missing the answers.

Certo puts what your company already knows about its people, purchases and customers in order and turns it into decisions you can explain. Each module works on its own: activate only the one you need.

Public pricing, one module to start, Spanish and English, and an AI that classifies, explains differences and summarizes, but never approves anything for you.

Illustrative view with fictional data; not a current product screen.

Four situations you recognize even with a single site.

It isn't a lack of information. It sits in spreadsheets, inboxes and chats, but nobody sees the whole picture when a decision is due, and it can't be used to foresee anything.

You have reports. You don't have answers.

There is a payroll spreadsheet, a purchasing spreadsheet and a half-used CRM. None of them tells you where efficiency is leaking, what will happen next month or which decision to make today.

What it costsDecisions run on intuition using data that already existed. The information that was costly to capture gives very little back.
People Operations

Payroll closes on spreadsheets and messages.

Twice a month someone reconciles shifts, position changes and absences by hand from Excel, the chat and the payroll system. The change that arrived late gets paid wrong, claimed and corrected in the next run.

What it costsEvery manual correction is paid twice: once in payroll and once in the person's trust. And the close takes days nobody budgeted.
Procure

A purchase gets paid because the invoice arrived.

With no order and no receipt, the invoice is the only evidence. The approval lives in an email thread with an "ok", and nobody can say who authorized it or against which price.

What it costsYou pay for what never arrived, you pay the same thing twice, and when someone asks who authorized it, the answer is to search the inbox.
Growth

The renewal is discovered after it expired.

The contract is a PDF, the expiry date is in someone's head and the accepted proposal was "v7 final final". Nobody sees September 30 coming.

What it costsRenegotiating on the back foot, months without invoicing while it gets signed, or losing the account without ever having the conversation in time.

Four steps. Today most companies stop at the first.

Certo doesn't ask you to capture more. It takes what already exists and moves it up three steps: order, govern and decide. Module by module, activating only what you need.

You already do thisCapture

What you already have comes in as is: payroll in Excel, invoices by email, contracts as PDFs, changes announced in a chat.

Data Readiness
Order

One record per person, supplier and customer. One catalog of positions, cost centers and currencies. No duplicates.

One record per module
Govern

Every change is recorded with user and date; in People, also with an effective date, a reason and the previous version. Rules that decide who approves and what stops when evidence is missing.

Audit-grade history
The promiseDecide and foresee

Questions with answers, and signals before they hurt: where overtime grows, which supplier concentrates exceptions, which renewals expire and what they are worth.

Certo Intelligence · Analytics

In each module, the same record feeds all four steps. That is why an answer in Certo can always be traced to the data, the date and the person who changed it. Decisions you can explain.

  • How many real overtime hours per area?
  • Which supplier concentrates the exceptions?
  • Which renewals expire within 90 days?

What it looks like in a single-site company.

This is not a customer or a measured figure: it is a modeled case with fictional data to show the mechanism. We will publish real cases only with each customer's written approval.

Services · 120 people · one site

Servicios Andina S.A.

  • Payroll twice a month, three shifts
  • Supplies and services bought from 40 suppliers
  • 35 annual customer contracts
Before

The payroll close started with three files: the supervisor's shift spreadsheet, the chat where changes were announced and the payroll system. Someone typed everything in again by hand. Invoices were approved with an "ok" by email. Renewals came up when the customer wrote in.

With Certo

Every person, supplier and customer has one record. A position, site or supervisor change is scheduled with an effective date and the roster applies it that day, keeping the previous version. No invoice is paid without an order and a receipt. Every contract has an expiry date, an owner and a 90-day alert.

What they can now answer
  • How many real overtime hours per area this pay period?
  • Who authorized each purchase above USD 5,000, and against which order?
  • Which contracts expire in the next 90 days, and what are they worth?

A modeled case with fictional data to illustrate the mechanism; it does not describe measured results from any customer.

Three outcomes, in the language of the people who operate.

Activate one module or all three. Each works on its own, with its own users, permissions and data, so you pay only for what you use. Today the modules connect at two points: your Certo account to sign in to Growth, and central billing for Procure. They do not share organizations, permissions, people, suppliers or customers.

Certo Intelligence

AI that classifies, explains and summarizes. People decide.

Certo Intelligence classifies what comes in, explains why two records do not match and summarizes what changed, citing the source of each answer. The result: your team reviews exceptions, not entire spreadsheets.

SOURCE → REASON → ACTION → EVIDENCE
AI that is accountable
Explains that INV-8871 is on hold because the receipt is missing
Classifies clock-ins that do not match the schedule
Summarizes the renewals expiring within 90 days and what they are worth
It never approves, pays or signs. A person does that.

What we take for granted so you never have to ask.

Audit-grade history

Every change keeps the user and the date. In People Operations, also the reason and the previous version. No separate module.

Effective dating

Changes are scheduled and applied on the right date, backwards or forwards.

Truly modular

Start with one module and one site. Each module is contracted and runs on its own; add another when you need it.

AI that does not decide

Certo Intelligence classifies, explains and summarizes. Decisions are made by a person.

You don't need clean data to start.

Bring the payroll spreadsheet, the supplier list and the customer base as they are. Certo Data Readiness & Governance diagnoses them, removes duplicates and tells you what is missing before day one in production. It is the first step: capturing what already exists.
