Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Qive is a Brazilian software company that operates a platform for the accounts-payable (contas a pagar) cycle, covering payment management, fiscal and financial document management, supplier management, analytics and automation routines in a single flow connected to the customer's ERP. The document module captures, issues, associates and validates fiscal and financial documents including NFe, NFSe, CTe, NFCe/CFe-SAT, MDFe and boletos, keeping an audit history; the payments module receives invoices, boletos, bills and receipts from source, runs matching and divergence/fraud validations, supports batch approval and release, and generates and executes payments via CNAB with bank integration, with in-platform payment described as forthcoming. Supplier management is delivered through a portal that centralizes communication and information exchange between buyer, accounts payable and supplier, while analytics provides dashboards, reports and KPIs built on automatically structured fiscal and financial data.

The platform is offered natively inside SAP, TOTVS and Oracle and through flexible APIs for other systems, with parameterizable automation and more than 300 ready-made rules. Additional functionality includes reports, XML import and download, notes/comments/tags, recipient and disagreement manifestation, month-end close, tax and SPED analysis, automatic fiscal document capture, association of boletos with invoices, CNAB file generation and reading, Data Ledge and a digital library. Product packages such as NFSe Connect and NFSe Connect Full address capture of service invoices, with integration to more than 1,500 municipal authorities and nationwide coverage for larger multi-region companies. The company positions the platform as prepared for the requirements of Brazil's tax reform and maintains a dedicated tax reform hub and market research content.

Founding story

The company was created in 2014, according to its own account, in response to the fiscal complexity of Brazilian companies and the lack of visibility over financial operations, applying technology to turn a manual and critical process into a structured, reliable and scalable one.

Business model

Qive licenses its accounts-payable platform to companies as software, sold in plans (a "Planos e Preços" page is published) with a free trial and consultative sales, and delivered as ERP-embedded solutions plus APIs. Support and specialist service accompany the subscription, and a partner program exists for integrators and partners such as NDD.

Software revenue from plans/subscriptions for the accounts-payable platform and its modules (payments, documents, suppliers, data intelligence, automation), including ERP-embedded deployments and API access.

Traction

Company-reported figures include 210,000 CNPJs using the platform, more than 20 million requests per day, R$3 trillion in constant values of invoices processed, 98% CSAT, more than 350 employees (2022), 5,000 customers reached in 2017, and more than 210,000 companies served as of 2022. Customer-reported outcomes include 99.97% of NFes paid on time and 80% less time spent (iFood), 500,000 documents transacted per month across 20 active CNPJs, and more than 800,000 invoices received across more than 400 active CNPJs.

Latest developments

The company describes 2025 as consolidation into a single solution connected to Brazil's largest ERPs for payments, documents and supplier management, with activity outside Brazil, and 2026 as continued rollout of new products, partnerships and solutions. Its press room lists 2026 items including commentary on Father's Day retail restocking, use of qualitative data in the financial sector, and strategic application of AI in companies. In-platform payment execution is listed as coming soon.

History

Founded in 2014 as Arquivei, the company originated from the fiscal complexity faced by Brazilian firms and the lack of visibility into financial operations. It was selected by Endeavor as one of Brazil's fastest-growing companies and received its first institutional investment from Monashees (2015/2016), participated in Google Launchpad and Radar Santander and reached 5,000 customers in 2017, was named one of the "100 Startups to Watch" in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and joined Cubo Itaú in 2018. Further investments came from eBricks Ventures (Igah Ventures) and Valor Capital Group in 2019 and from IFC and Constellation in 2020, followed by a round of more than R$260 million led by Riverwood in 2021. By 2022 the company had more than 350 employees serving over 210,000 companies. In 2023 it acquired companies in its market and expanded the solution into a single flow with native integrations to SAP, TOTVS and Oracle, and in 2024 it rebranded from Arquivei to Qive.
