5 Essential moves for all entrepreneurs

October is the month of the Entrepreneur and, more than an opportunity to celebrate the date, it is a reminder that entrepreneurs always need to be connected with their business and with what happens in the market.Themes such as the development of AI, the remnants of the pandemic and the disruption of production chains have been impacting the business world and need to be fully understood by company leaders.

As a fintech founder and basketball player, Rodrigo Tognini, CEO of Simple Account, Brazilian platform for expense management and corporate credit card, points out that the sport helped him to reinvent himself several times as a leader.“Be on the court or in the executive chair, the skills needed to win involve a lot of training and sweat, failure and overcoming. A captain, whatever the team is, should seek to take the team ahead, knowing their composition and needs”, he says.

To inspire other entrepreneurs, the executive listed five essential tips for those who want to start a business. Check:

  1. Vision 360o

In an increasingly technological and data-rich reality, the operations of companies demand an integrated and comprehensive look, which provides informed decision making. Tognini compares this 360-degree view to that of the point guard in basketball, which is an athlete who needs to know exactly what is happening in the game, predict movements and execute winning plays. 

“In a match or in the volatile business world, having accurate information and the right statistics is no longer an option, but an impossible need to dribble”, he reinforces. “It is simply what defines whether your team will advance to the next phase or fall out of the championship, whether your startup will survive the 'Death Valley’ or become a unicorn, he adds.

  1. Innovation & creativity

Because it is increasingly competitive, the market requires entrepreneurs to escape from the standards and create unique and personalized products and services, which really solve a market's IORECTOR.In this sense, the CEO equates the role of these professionals to that of the guarding wing, citing great names from both universes:

“Just like this player, the entrepreneur needs to think differently if he wants to create new moves.This is always how he gets into the story: we are talking about Jordan and Kobe Bryant, Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos”, he says.

  1. Adaptation power

Adjusting strategies is another key characteristic for those who want to undertake, since technological advancement continues to change consumption habits around the world. As Tognini points out, “the degree of adaptability in entrepreneurship dictates how much the person is able to seek new opportunities”.

He adds: “In a match, the power forward is who will try to create gaps where there does not seem to be any. It shows how important it is to be decisive and take advantage of what each context can offer, a reference that works both for the regulation time of a game and in a startup”. 

  1. Reference point

Factors such as empathy and listening skills are being more valued by teams in their leaderships. The new generations of professionals have been compacting this management style by the simple fact that they see a good example to be followed, reproducing their attitudes in everyday life. 

“No one is born leader, but, yes, becomes leader”, emphasizes the executive of the Simple Account. “As a pivot, which is a reference point for the team on the court not only for knowing how to observe, but also for knowing how to listen, the manager needs to understand that collaboration and close communication with their followers create a network of trust and efficiency unequaled”, he adds.

  1. Resilience

Finally, the way a leadership overcomes the impending adversities of a business is also a decisive aspect.The ability to continue even in the midst of difficulties is what ensures that the company reaches unprecedented levels of success.

When the final whistle sounds, few remain standing”, reflects Tognini.“In basketball, giants like LeBron James often advance in strength, even with hard blocks.This is a daily exercise for entrepreneurs: whenever they fall, raise”, he concludes.

Large companies in the communication sector launch a pioneering solution of influence and digital marketing

Airfluencers, empresa que oferece soluções tecnológicas no marketing de influência, anunciou uma parceria estratégica com a Publya, Trading Desk há 11 anos no mercado de Mídia Programática, para o lançamento de uma solução integrada que une campanhas de influenciadores digitais e mídia paga. O Airlab, agência de marketing de influência 360º da Airfluencers, lidera a iniciativa, que promete revolucionar o mercado ao combinar conteúdo autêntico de influenciadores com a precisão e alcance das campanhas programáticas em plataformas como Meta e TikTok.

Com a nova solução, é possível integrar o planejamento estratégico das ações, seleção de influencers, co-criação do conteúdo e associar a estratégia com ativações de mídia multicanal, visando maximizar resultados e acompanhar as tendências do mercado. “Estamos sempre atentos às oportunidades de inovação no setor e acreditamos que essa parceria com a Publya nos posiciona na vanguarda do marketing de influência. Nossa solução se resume a uma estratégia integrada e eficaz, que vai muito além do alcance orgânico”, comenta Rodrigo Soriano, CEO of Airfluencers.

Um estudo recente da Influencer Marketing Hub afirma que o mercado global de marketing de influência está projetado para movimentar aproximadamente US$ 24 bilhões até o final de 2024. Esse dado reforça a relevância da nova solução, que busca ampliar o impacto e a efetividade dos projetos.

Luana Cevei, Diretora Comercial da Publya, ressalta os benefícios da inovação: “A grande vantagem da solução é que ela não depende exclusivamente do alcance orgânico dos influenciadores, que geralmente varia entre 3% e 5% dos seguidores. Ao integrar campanhas de mídia paga, conseguimos aumentar significativamente o público-alvo qualificado e melhorar a conexão das marcas com novas audiências”, afirma.

A ferramenta também oferece maior precisão na entrega de conteúdo para segmentos de público específicos, utilizando dados e inteligência artificial para garantir que as campanhas atinjam consumidores que realmente se conectam com as marcas. “Estamos proporcionando uma abordagem escalável para o marketing de influência, permitindo que as marcas alcancem resultados mais expressivos e mensuráveis”, complementa Soriano.

A cientista de dados da Airfluencers, Alexsandra Silva, foi  uma das palestrantes do evento inaugural – que aconteceu no dia 1º de outubro – com uma apresentação sobre as novas tendências do setor.

Com alta de 1,30%, preço do frete por quilômetro rodado encerra setembro a R$ 6,44, aponta Edenred Repom

O preço médio do frete por quilômetro rodado fechou o mês de setembro a R$ 6,44, após alta de 1,30% no comparativo com agosto. É o que aponta o Índice de Frete Edenred Repom (IFR). Um dos motivos da variação é o aquecimento da atividade industrial, principalmente nos setores de construção civil e bens de consumo. Segundo o Índice de Gerentes de Compras (PMI) da indústria brasileira, o setor avançou a 53,2 em setembro, de 50,4 no mês anterior, considerando a marca de 50 que separa crescimento de contração, no indicador que tem sua escala de variação de 0 a 100.

“O impacto no preço do frete tem sido ocasionado pelo aumento da demanda de transporte oriunda do setor industrial, quanto ao combustível temos observado estabilidade no preço do diesel que, segundo o Índice de Preços Edenred Ticket Log (IPTL), encerrou setembro a R$ 6,10 o tipo comum, estável ante agosto, e o S-10 a R$ 6,17, após um ligeiro aumento de 0,16%”, comenta Vinicios Fernandes, Diretor da Edenred Repom.

Além disso, segundo Fernandes, há a expectativa de aumento no preço do dólar, que deve se manter até o encerramento do ano, e na taxa SELIC – esta deve ficar acima do projetado no início de 2024, que podem contribuir com a tendência de alta no preço do frete. “Esses dois fatores impactam diretamente no custo de operação das empresas de transporte, tanto no preço do combustível quanto na manutenção da frota”, explica o Diretor da Edenred Repom.

IFR is an index of the average freight price and its composition, raised based on the 8 million annual freight and toll voucher transactions administered by Edenred Repom. Edenred Repom, a brand of the Mobility business line of Edenred Brasil, has been specialized for 30 years in the management and payment of expenses for the road freight transport market, leader in the freight payment and toll voucher segment with 8 million annual transactions and more than 1 million truck drivers served throughout Brazil.

Black Friday 2024: Otimização, performance e segurança são as estratégias para maximizar as vendas

A Black Friday é uma das maiores oportunidades de vendas do ano, mas também representa um grande desafio para as empresas que precisam lidar com altos volumes de tráfego, processamento de dados e aumento da demanda por produtos e serviços. Esta se tornou uma das maiores datas comerciais do calendário comercial.  

No ano passado, houve uma queda de 15,1% nas vendas em relação a 2022, de acordo com o levantamento realizado pela Neotrust e ClearSale, com o resultado final atingindo a marca de R$ 5,23 bilhões de vendas no e-commerce. “As expectativas para 2024 são altas e as empresas estão cada vez mais se preparando com antecedência, com o objetivo de garantir bons resultados com segurança, estabilidade e credibilidade aos clientes, promovendo sempre uma experiência satisfatória, que faz parte do processo de compra e de fidelidade”, pontua Stênio Viveiros, Principal Consultant de Qualidade da keeggo.

O evento, que acontece, oficialmente, no dia 29 de novembro, já conta com uma boa perspectiva, pela qual 39% dos consumidores demonstraram que pretendem comprar na data, de acordo com uma pesquisa feita pela PiniOn para a Globo. Além disso, a Confederação Nacional de Dirigentes Lojistas (CNDL) e o Serviço de Proteção ao Crédito (SPC Brasil) dizem que o número de interessados deve crescer até novembro, já que em 2023, 87% dos brasileiros só demonstrou interesse a partir de outubro.

Antecipando-se às demandas do mercado, com o intuito de evitar possíveis problemas futuros, Stênio apresenta estratégias para ajudar empresas a otimizar processos, melhorar a performance e aproveitar ao máximo a temporada de promoções.

Testes de performance e automatização de processos: um passo essencial para o sucesso

Antes da Black Friday é essencial realizar testes de performance para avaliar a capacidade de resposta dos sistemas sob um volume gigante e garantir que as plataformas de e-commerce não sofram quedas ou falhas. “É importante oferecer soluções robustas de testes, identificando gargalos e otimizações que garantem uma experiência de compra fluida para o consumidor final, evitando abandonos no carrinho”, Stênio.

Automatizar processos é uma maneira eficiente de garantir que as operações internas fluam sem interrupções. O sucesso da operação está em trabalhar com a implementação de ferramentas que otimizam o processo por completo: do atendimento ao cliente até a gestão de estoque, possibilitando que as equipes foquem no que realmente importa: impulsionar as vendas.

“Ao integrarmos tecnologias de análise de dados, como inteligência artificial e machine learning, as empresas conseguem oferecer promoções personalizadas e previsões mais assertivas de comportamento de compra”, Stênio ressalta que campanhas mais direcionadas e estratégias inteligentes aumentam as chances de conversão e mais tempo de permanência do cliente no e-commerce. 

Segurança e escalabilidade

Com o aumento do tráfego durante a Black Friday, a segurança dos dados e a escalabilidade das plataformas são prioridades, principalmente para os consumidores, que precisam se sentir seguros. “A recomendação é que ocorra a realização de auditorias de segurança, oferecendo soluções que garantam a integridade das informações, além de suportar o crescimento de acessos sem comprometer a experiência do usuário”, conclui Jonathan Arend, Principal Consultant de Cybersecurity da keeggo. 

criptografia ganha destaque como recurso para proteger a privacidade de dados na internet, tanto de empresas quanto de consumidores. Caso haja alguma tentativa de invasão, o sistema protege os dados pessoais dos usuários, mantendo o sigilo das informações e garantindo que nenhum dado seja acessado por um terceiro não autorizado. 

“A tecnologia é fundamental para proteger os dados sensíveis de transações de e-commerce, garantindo que permaneçam confidenciais e inacessíveis a terceiros não autorizados. Isso envolve a criptografia de ponta a ponta, tanto em trânsito quanto em repouso, com algoritmos robustos e chaves de criptografia seguras. Além disso, o uso de certificados digitais e protocolos de segurança como o TLS (Transport Layer Security) garante a integridade e autenticidade das comunicações entre o cliente e o servidor”, explains the executive.

Gerar um backup do site também traz tranquilidade para a temporada de descontos. Um backup é como uma “cópia instantânea” de todos os principais elementos da sua plataforma, como os arquivos e códigos, banco de dados, imagens, vídeos, entre outros. O mecanismo de segurança armazena as informações e facilita a recuperação dos dados caso ocorra uma fraude. 

“Por fim, é fortemente recomendável manter uma equipe de resposta a incidentes bem treinada, com protocolos de segurança bem definidos, para responder eficazmente a ameaças potenciais durante a Black Friday. Isso envolve a designação de papéis claros e responsabilidades, a criação de planos de contingência detalhados e a realização de exercícios regulares de simulação de incidentes para garantir que a equipe esteja preparada para lidar com qualquer cenário de segurança. A colaboração com fornecedores de segurança cibernética também pode ser benéfica para manter-se atualizado sobre as ameaças emergentes e as melhores práticas de segurança”, afirma o especialista.

Does data use help users grow in e-commerce and fintech apps?

Data analytics has been playing a key role in the growth of e-commerce and fintech applications.Through detailed insights into user behavior, companies are able to segment their audience accurately, personalize interactions and optimize the customer experience.This approach not only facilitates the acquisition of new users, but also contributes to the retention and expansion of the existing base.

A recent study by Juniper Research, *Top 10 Fintech & Payments Trends 2024*, highlighted that companies using advanced analytics experience significant improvements. Data-driven personalization can increase sales by up to 5% in companies implementing targeted campaigns. In addition, predictive analytics allows you to optimize marketing spending, increasing customer acquisition efficiency and reducing costs.

The impact of this approach is clear. The use of data provides us with a comprehensive view of user behavior, allowing real-time adjustments to improve the experience and satisfaction. This translates into more effective campaigns and an application that evolves according to user needs. The collection and analysis of real-time data allows us to identify opportunities and challenges immediately, ensuring that companies are always ahead of the competition.

Personalization and retention based on data

Personalization is one of the greatest benefits provided by the use of data. By analyzing user behavior, it is possible to identify browsing patterns, purchases and interactions, adapting the offers to the profile of each customer. This approach increases the relevance of campaigns, resulting in greater conversion and loyalty.

Tools like Appsflyer and Adjust help monitor marketing campaigns, while platforms like Sensor Tower provide market insights to compare performance with competitors.By crossing this data with internal information, companies are able to make more informed decisions to drive growth.

With data in hand, we can deliver the right recommendation to the right customer at the right time, which increases engagement and makes the user experience richer.

Machine learning and AI technologies accelerate growth

Technologies such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are gaining ground in the growth strategy of fintech and e-commerce apps.They enable behavior prediction, marketing automation and even real-time fraud detection, resulting in greater efficiency and security.

These tools help anticipate user actions, such as the likelihood of abandonment or predisposition to purchase, allowing interventions before the customer disengages.This ensures the implementation of more effective strategies, such as offering personalized promotions or recommendations at the right time.In addition, AI automates marketing processes, optimizing campaigns and maximizing return on investment.

Security and privacy: challenges in data use

The use of data in fintech and e-commerce apps, while beneficial, also brings privacy and security-related challenges. Protection of sensitive information and compliance with regulations such as the LGPD and GDPR are essential to ensure data integrity and user trust.

Companies must also ensure that users understand how their information is used, with transparency being key to building that trust.Surfactant security practices and careful consent management are indispensable to ensure the continued and secure growth of platforms.

Balance between data and innovation

Despite the importance of data analysis, it is crucial to balance the use of quantitative insights with a qualitative approach.Overfocus on data can sometimes stifle innovation, and misinterpretation can result in misguided decisions.

Therefore, it is essential to combine data analysis with a deep understanding of user needs.This allows for more assertive and innovative decisions, ensuring that strategies keep up with market trends and remain adaptable.

With this balance, data usage becomes not just a growth tool, but a solid foundation for innovation and competitive differentiation.

Estoque na palma da mão: gerenciamento inteligente de produtos pode “salvar” Black Friday no varejo

À medida que a Black Friday se aproxima, o cenário do varejo exige que empresas de todos os tamanhos se preparem para a alta demanda de maneira estratégica, com o objetivo de evitar erros e garantir o sucesso de compras do consumidor. Em 2023, o Procon-SP registrou mais de mil reclamações relacionadas à Black Friday, sendo 36% dessas queixas ligadas à não entrega ou atrasos, com um total de 363 ocorrências.

Zoltan Schwab, executivo da vhsys, empresa especializada em soluções de gestão para micro e pequenos negócios, destaca que os números podem estar relacionados à má gestão de estoque e revelam a importância de um sistema robusto para garantir a satisfação do cliente. “Um dos grandes desafios para a Black 2024 será a gestão eficiente dos produtos. É um fator determinante para a avaliação final e satisfação do cliente. O varejista deve, desde já, com o apoio de um ERP, identificar possíveis falhas na operação, como falta de produtos, para ter o controle das suas vendas quando chegar o grande dia”, diz o especialista.

Para 2024, 39% dos consumidores pretendem e já planejam realizar compras nesta data, como mostra o Panorama do Consumo — Black Friday 2024. Isso destaca ainda mais a necessidade de uma estratégia de gestão eficaz, capaz de monitorar e organizar o fluxo de produtos ao vivo.

“Com a plataforma de controle de estoque integrada, o empresário pode gerenciar suas operações na palma da mão, acompanhando entradas, saídas e reposições em tempo real, automatizando processos que, manualmente, poderiam estar sujeitos a erros”, explica Zoltan, que acompanha de perto as movimentações dos clientes da vhsys nesta data. “Um bom software deve oferecer diversas funcionalidades que agregam ao negócio, como controle de múltiplos depósitos, categorização de produtos, geração automática de pedidos de compra, relatórios detalhados e a integração com sistemas de vendas e emissão de notas fiscais eletrônicas”, completa.

O executivo detalha que esses recursos permitem não apenas um acompanhamento preciso das movimentações de produtos, mas também garantem que as reposições sejam feitas de forma ágil, evitando rupturas de estoque durante a alta demanda. E ele já antecipa planos para as festas de fim de ano. “Quando o varejista domina o estoque, é possível projetar demandas para outros períodos comerciais de alto volume, como o Natal, utilizando dados históricos da Black Friday e de outras datas, além de inteligência de negócios para prever as necessidades futuras”, finaliza.

Payroll dereliction: companies may abandon the scheme before 2028 due to gradual re-energisation

Companies in sectors covered by payroll exemption may choose to abandon the regime before the deadline, scheduled for 2028. The gradual re-innovation, which begins in 2025 and extends until 2027, is making the regime less advantageous for many sectors, according to Pedro Ackel, Legal and Tax Director of the Brazilian Association of Administrative Support Service Providers (Abrapsa).

“The law approved this year proposes a transition process that, year after year, will make the exemption regime less attractive for many companies”, says Ackel. The main advantage of the exemption regime has been the replacement of the social security contribution of 20% on the payroll by a contribution calculated on the gross revenue of companies, called Social Security Contribution on Gross Revenue (CPRB), with aliquots ranging from 1% to 4.5%. This modality has been particularly beneficial for companies with large payrolls, such as the construction and other sectors of technology 1.

However, from 2025, companies will face a hybrid taxation system, in which the rate on gross revenue will be reduced progressively, while the contribution on the payroll will be gradually reintroduced. In 2025, for example, the rate of CPRB will be reduced to 80% of the current value, and companies will have to pay a contribution of 5% on the payroll. In 2026, the contribution on the sheet will rise to 10% regime, and in 2027, it reaches the 151T in the possibility of the workday that continues to the work in the same as the CPR3T, the same as the transition of the work in the same as the time as the work in the same as the sectors.

Financial impact on affected companies and sectors

“The proposed hybrid taxation system can make companies that already have high payrolls in relation to billing see their costs increase from 2025”, explains Pedro Ackel.He notes that the projection of wage costs and billing will have a decisive weight in the choice of companies between remaining or abandoning the exemption regime. “For those companies whose sheet represents a significant portion of revenue, the new regime may prove financially unfeasible, encouraging the exit of the program before 2028 and the return to the conventional contribution regime on the sheet.”

Some sectors, such as technology and construction, are especially affected by this transition, since in them, wages represent a large proportion of gross revenues.Many companies in these sectors may choose to abandon the exemption as early as 2025, due to the increased tax burden that the new rule brings.

Possible return of pejotization

A possible development of this re-innovation is the return of pejotization practice. Pejotization consists of hiring professionals as legal entities (PJs), which allows companies to avoid labor charges, such as FGTS, 13th salary and vacation. With the new scenario of progressive encumbrance, it is possible for companies to start developing pejotization projects for high-wage functions, seeking to minimize the costs that will be caused by re-ineration.

Pejotization, which has lost strength in recent years due to contrary decisions of jurisprudence, may again gain ground if the exemption of the sheet becomes financially unfeasible for large companies.“Professionals of strategic positions and high salaries will be the most affected, since pejotization is an alternative to reduce labor costs on these functions”, adds Ackel. He also signals that before making any decision in this regard it is advisable to analyze labor and tax risks.

The future of tax relief and payroll tax reform

The payroll tax reform, scheduled for 2025, could directly impact the future of the exemption regime.“There are ongoing discussions for a broader reform of sheet taxation, which may make the exemption of the sheet unnecessary even before 2027”, he says. He points out that the reform under study aims to create a more efficient and less costly tax system for companies, which may accelerate the end of the current exemption regime.

Still, Pedro points out that, although it is early to say with certainty the impact of this reform, it will bring significant changes in the Brazilian tax landscape, and companies need to be aware of possible changes in the contribution regime.“The early end of the exemption may be a reality, if the reform brings more advantageous or simplified alternatives to tax on the”, he concludes.

With the gradual re-innovation planned between 2025 and 2027, the payroll tax regime, which currently benefits labor-intensive sectors, may become less attractive. Companies in sectors such as technology and construction already consider the possibility of abandoning the regime, opting for the return to the traditional model of contribution on the sheet. In addition, the pejotization of key professionals emerges as an alternative to reduce labor costs. The reform of sheet taxation, planned for 2025, may define the future of this regime and the viability of its continuity.

My Quitandinha launches to the market QPay, exclusive sales system for autonomous stores

My Quitandinha retail technology startup that operates in the autonomous mini-market franchise model, launches to the market QPay, a software tailored for the autonomous stores sector. Operating in about 300 stores, the system, which has already registered more than 1.6 million purchases and transacted more than R$ 30 million, enables, through a fluid journey and an intuitive application, consumers to make purchases in less than 19 seconds. 

According to Guilherme Mauri, CEO of Minha Quitandinha, in all, the brand invested about R$ 5 million to develop QPay from scratch.“We received an investment of angel investors of R$ 1 million and, adding the value with the capital from the cash of Minha Quitandinha, we architect the system from scratch, from the first line of code. It was an extremely high investment also in terms of time, since, we made a big bet by running the software in real and adjusting it according to the feedbacks. Each new functionality we wanted to implement the best practices, we wanted to implement the best, obviously, it was a very calm, we wanted to implement the best practices, we wanted to have a very high quality, we wanted to have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value and we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have a great value, we have been able to implement the best value, we have a great value, we have a great value, a great value, we have been able to implement the best practices that we have

Operating in the 3 in 1 model, the software, which aims to improve the buying and selling journey for both the shopper and the retailer, can be used in totem (or POS), mobile application and management system mode for the seller. According to Mauri the great differential of QPay is to have been designed based on the segment of autonomous minimarket and not adapted from another segment. “Most of programs that are used today, are originally from other sectors, such as, for example, vending machines, resulting in non-assertive solutions, sometimes expensive, slow and complicated, without the focus required for the operation of stores with”.

Hosted on the AWS server Amazon Web Services, QPay can be customized according to the adherent brand and assists retailers with functions such as inventory, pricing, margin calculation by category and even the creation of discount coupons. And there is much more to come, through Artificial Intelligence, the operating system will also show which products to buy to replenish the stock, will help in managing working capital and can help with marketing. 

In a scenario in which it is estimated that there are between 15 and 20 thousand autonomous minimarkets in Brazil, in a universe of more than one million condominiums, without accounting for companies and other places that can install stores of this model, Mauri states that expectations are the best possible. “We always believe in the power of technology as a competitive differential, and for this reason we have developed our own software, tailor-made for the segment of autonomous stores.We have identified a gap in the market, which is dissatisfied with the programs currently available, Now, meeting the requests of entrepreneurs of the customer sector, we are making QPay available to all retailers who want to revolutionize the entrepreneurial journey to the business.
