Customized solutions, strategic Partnerships, training and adaptability position the Portuguese company as a reference Partner – by Marta Quaresma Ferreira
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 customer and by promoting a relationship of trust and Partnership, INCENTEA seeks to position itself as a “reference player in the business solutions sector”. The approach, underpinned by a commitment to continuous innovation, ensures that the organization’s proposals “follow global technology trends and anticipate market demands”, says Luís Barreiro, Board Member at 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 differentiating factor of the organization, notes Luís Barreiro, is the development of vertical applications, “designed to the specific needs of each sector”, not forgetting the commitment to IT infrastructure and security. “We invest heavily in the continuous training of our teams, in creating 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 appreciation and collaboration,” Luís Barreiro reiterates.
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 it from international operations. For 2025 the forecast points to growth and a doubling of turnover by 2028.
SOLUTIONS REFLECTED IN PARTNERSHIPS AND BUSINESS
INCENTEA’s solutions, characterized by a “high capacity for customization”, are designed for the most diverse contexts: from industry to retail and distribution, healthcare and services. “Across the board, there is clearly growing demand for cloud solutions, driven by the need to ensure scalability, mobility, lower operating costs and secure access to information,” says Luís Barreiro, stressing the company’s investment in integrated cybersecurity solutions that boost process automation and advanced data analysis. Cegid, Microsoft, Sage and SAP are some of the Partnerships established, with an offering of “robust, flexible platforms adaptable to the demands of each sector of activity”, explains Luís Barreiro. For technology infrastructure, HPE, Sophos and Alcatel are also among the reference manufacturers. This ecosystem of strategic Partnerships, Luís Barreiro stresses, makes it possible to “closely follow the latest technology trends, access specialized resources and know-how, and guarantee an agile, effective response to our customers’ needs”.
THE FUTURE IS WRITTEN TODAY
Looking to the coming years, 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 is based on two complementary strands, namely organic growth, with the expansion of current activity and development of solutions, but also growth through the acquisition and integration of other companies, a process that is already under way.
