The story

Calipso is a 30+ year-old Argentine ERP vendor serving mid-market and large enterprises across Latin America with modules spanning accounting, logistics, inventory, manufacturing, procurement, billing, expenses and a supplier/customer portal. In 2022 it was acquired by Norway-based Visma and now operates as Grupo Calipso S.A. inside Visma Latam alongside sister brands in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Mexico and Colombia. Its product line (Calipso ERP, Calipso Billing, Nos Conecta) is positioned around Argentine regulatory compliance (e.g. AFIP RG 5824/2026) rather than embedded financial services, though it offers an expense-management product and a supplier portal with Visma Connect SSO.
