The story

Grupo Listo was founded in 2014 in São Paulo as an SME sales/POS platform with installment payments and same-day settlement. It has since evolved into a cloud ERP with embedded financial services, expanding across Latin America. A separate develop.listo-co.uk property positions the group as an automotive-retail ecosystem, suggesting a vertical focus on connecting auto retailers, consumers and financial services.
