With almost 40 years of history, what was then Leirisic in 1987 would become INCENTEA in 2003, in a year marked by the start of the organization’s growth process, which culminated in the integration of other companies and businesses. With a strategic positioning guided by strengthening closeness to the client and promoting a relationship of trust and Partnership, INCENTEA seeks to position itself as a “reference player in the business solutions sector”. This approach, underpinned by a commitment to continuous innovation, ensures that the organization’s offerings “keep pace with global technology trends and anticipate market demands”, says Luís Barreiro, Board Member of INCENTEA.

THE ‘HEART’ OF INCENTEA
The core of the business lies in Business Consulting and Management Information Systems – ERP, CRM, MES, among others – in support of organizations’ digital transformation. Another of the organization’s differentiating factors, notes Luís Barreiro, is the development of vertical applications, “designed to fit the specific needs of each sector”, without forgetting the commitment to IT infrastructure and security. “We invest heavily in the continuous training of our teams, in building strategic Partnerships with the main international manufacturers and in adopting agile methodologies that ensure greater efficiency and speed of response. We believe that INCENTEA’s success results from a combination of technological innovation, operational excellence and a solid organizational culture, centered on human value and collaboration,” reiterates Luís Barreiro.

SUCCESS BEYOND BORDERS
With more than 350 professionals, the company operates in eight countries – Portugal, Spain, France, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe. In 2024 it reported revenue of around 23 million euros, 32% of which came from international operations. For 2025, the forecast points to growth and a doubling of revenue by 2028.

SOLUTIONS REFLECTED IN PARTNERSHIPS AND IN BUSINESS
INCENTEA’s solutions, characterized by a “high capacity for customization”, are conceived and designed for the most diverse contexts: from industry to the retail and distribution sector, including healthcare and services. “Across the board, there is clearly growing demand for cloud solutions, driven by the need to ensure scalability, mobility, reduced operating costs and secure access to information,” says Luís Barreiro, stressing the company’s investment in integrated cybersecurity solutions that enable process automation and advanced data analytics. Cegid, Microsoft, Sage and SAP are some of the established Partnerships, with an offering of “robust, flexible platforms adaptable to the requirements of each industry”, explains Luís Barreiro. As for technology infrastructure, HPE, Sophos and Alcatel are also some of the reference manufacturers. This ecosystem of strategic Partnerships, Luís Barreiro emphasizes, makes it possible to “closely follow the latest technology trends, access specialized resources and know-how, and ensure an agile and effective response to our clients’ needs”.

THE FUTURE IS WRITTEN TODAY
With the coming years in mind, the company has already drawn up an “ambitious and clearly outlined” Strategic Plan, with the central goal of doubling the size of the company in three years. Growth rests on two complementary pillars, namely organic growth, through the expansion of current activity and the development of solutions, but also growth through the acquisition and integration of other companies, a process that is already under way.
