Leading company in the Geomarketing industry
receives investment for business expansion
São Paulo, March 18, 2013 - Intel Capital, Intel’s global investment and M&A
organization, announced a new investment in Geofusion. Based in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and
founded in 1996, Geofusion provides “OnMaps” - a geographic data-based market
intelligence, analytics and decision support (“Geomarketing”) platform to enterprise
customers of all sizes across a variety of industry verticals.
The cloud-based OnMap platform combines geographic data with relevant market
information, such as industry specific consumption statistics and census-based
demographics, offering its customers a suite of cost-effective updated social, demographic
and market information via a graphically rich, easy to use web interface. The platform’s
robust analytics capability improves the quality of available business intelligence, thereby
helping to improve customer decision making on key issues such as placement of key
assets, distribution channel coverage and product pricing strategies.
Geofusion’s platform is able to deliver value by seamlessly combining maps of over
5,000 Brazilian cities with relevant information from over 250 external databases from both
public and private sources. The company currently serves more than 200 customers in
Brazil primarily in the retail, food service, real estate, education and industrial segments.
Well-known customers like McDonalds, Boticario and Coca-Cola FEMSA use Geofusion’s
tools to, for example, prepare geographic expansion strategies, analyze performance of
specific points of sale, measure consumption potential in specific areas and plan coverage
for their sales and trade marketing teams.
In a single interface, Geofusion’s customers can utilize demographic profiles (social
and economic information) and sector consumption data in various geographic scales (from
country-wide to city blocks), as well as mapping of retail networks and traffic generation
cores. OnMaps allows users to combine this detailed information with their own internal
data and intelligence, which can be added to OnMaps to further enhance the information
available regarding points of purchase, retailers and territories.
Intel Capital’s investment will enable Geofusion to expand its go-to-market
capability and expand its sales and marketing teams. “Intel Capital’s expertise and
resources will help Geofusion capitalize on the momentum it has built here in Brazil.
Companies are searching for data-driven ways to grow sales and increase profitability, by
realizing the full potential of their investments across Brazil. The use of Geomarketing
tools such as OnMaps is essential for companies to achieve those objectives”, said Pedro
Figoli, CEO of Geofusion.
“We see significant opportunities in the business analytics market in Brazil, where
companies are increasingly paying attention to the many ways in which technology can
help business,” explained David Thomas, managing director for Intel Capital in Latin
America. “Geofusion’s solutions can be useful for a large variety of industry verticals and

2. their software as a service cloud-based business model enables offerings for customers of
all sizes, not just large corporations.”
Joining Intel Capital in this funding round in Geofusion, is original investor Criatec,
an investment fund targeting innovative startups whose investors are the National Bank for
Social and Economic Development (BNDES) and Banco do Nordeste (BNB), managed by
SP Ventures, based in São Paulo. “Geofusion is very well positioned in the current cloud
computing revolution. Its solutions bring essential market intelligence tools for companies
of all sizes in several different sectors. Even if their client portfolio is currently based in
Brazil, we believe their technology will find success in the global market,” commented
Francisco Jardim, regional manager at Criatec. Geofusion currently has approximately 60
employees.
