Here is the translation: Alphacode launches Petzoo platform to connect tutors and caretakers and targets expansion in the pet market

AlphaCode has announced the launch of Petzoo, a platform that connects animal tutors to caregivers in a practical and safe way. The project, which combines marketplace, scheduling and integrated payment, marks the entry of the digital solutions developer in the pet sector, one of the most promising in the Brazilian economy.

The PET market moved R$ 75.4 billion in 2024, according to a survey by the Brazilian Association of the Pet Products Industry (ABINPET). The growth was 9.6% compared to the previous year, with emphasis on the food segment, which represented 54.1% of the total. Brazil currently ranks third in the sector's world ranking, behind only the United States and China.

For Rafael Franco's, CEO of Alphacode, the project reflects the potential for digitization and professionalization of this market. “ Petzoo is born to transform the way it serves pets, combining technology, reliability and convenience for tutors and professionals. Our focus is to create a tool that facilitates the lives of users and, at the same time, offers caregivers a structured and sustainable environment”, he explains.

The platform offers features such as verified profiles, evaluation system, online scheduling and automated payments. Tutors can hire caregivers for tours, accommodation or follow-up, while professionals have access to a control panel to manage schedules, history of calls and remuneration.

According to Franco, the proposal is to offer a complete and integrated experience. “We want the tutor to be able to do everything in one place: to find, schedule, pay and evaluate the service. And that the caregiver has the same level of support, with automated financial management and transaction security.”

The launch of Petzoo also reinforces Alphacode's positioning as a technological partner in different sectors of the economy. Recognized for developing solutions for companies such as Habib's, Madero and China in Box, the company now expands its operations to an expanding market and with high demand for innovation.

“Entering the pet sector is a natural movement within our diversification strategy. Technology has the power to connect people, generate confidence and professionalize markets that are still poorly structured digitally. That's what we want to deliver with Petzoo”, concludes the CEO.

According to estimates by Euromonitor International, the global market for PET products and services is expected to exceed US$ 270 billion by 2030. In Brazil, the continuous advance of urbanization and the increase in the number of homes with pets keep the sector among those who grow the most, driving the search for technological solutions that combine practicality and safety for both tutors and professionals.
