Group Softplan presents Starian, a brand focused on the private sector

With the division of operations, Softplan serves only the public sector and Starian enters the market with the proposal of building specialist ecosystems Florianópolis, June 2025 – The Group Softplan, one of the largest SaaS technology and digital transformation companies in Brazil, announces Starian. The new autonomous brand, which already has approximately 54% of the group's net revenue share, brings together, under its umbrella, all solutions dedicated to the Construction Industry, with the Ecosystem Sienge, in addition to Legal Intelligence, led by Projuris, and productivity and efficiency solutions, such as Checklist Fácil and Runrun.it. The Softplan is dedicated to the public sector with leading solutions in three strategic segments: Justice, Digital and Administrative Processes, and Infrastructure and Works. The strategy of dividing operations was announced in December 2024 and now, with the launch of Starian, the movement is consolidated. Marcio Santana, who takes over as CEO of Softplan, highlights that the operation is guided by the delivery of technology aligned with the reality of each client, with a focus on long-term impact. “We are consolidating the structure by segments and evolving the portfolio, with artificial intelligence and data at the center. In addition, the focus is on increasing performance gains and revenue growth, especially in municipalities, with an integrated solutions platform and an internationalization strategy.” The new operation of Softplan aims to exceed 800 public institutions served by 2025. The separation of operations aims to boost both businesses. Ionan Fernandes, CEO of Starian, explains that the brand was born with a large-scale operation and enormous growth potential. “With the experience and credibility accumulated over more than 34 years and a business thesis oriented towards specialization, our focus is to build specialist ecosystems in each of the verticals in which we operate, accelerated by artificial intelligence so that we can continue doing what has always been our main guideline: putting the customer at the center”, says Ionan. By the end of 2025, Starian expects to reach 20 thousand customers. Separation of operations The creation of the new operation had already been discussed within the Group Softplan, given the need to separate the two areas — Public and Private Sector — due to the distinct natures and demands of each market. Operations for the private sector are offered as SaaS (Software as a Service), which require agile sales processes, support for thousands of customers by the support team, dispersed customer bases and a scalable business model, with recurring revenue. In the public sector, the highlight is robustness and predictability, with service levels strongly linked to the software. These are long-term contracts, which require a high degree of customization, extensive sales cycles and great concern with compliance and compliance with specific legislation. Operation focused on the private sector Starian is already starting its operations working with leading solutions in three sectors. The first will be dedicated to the Construction Industry, with the Ecosystem Sienge as the basis. With robust solutions that integrate the end-to-end chain, it brings more than 34 years of market experience. Cristiano Gregorius takes over as Executive Director of Starian Indústria da Construção and leads the operation that already serves more than 9 thousand clients. In the Legal Intelligence vertical, Projuris is the platform that connects the other solutions, offering technology, automation and data for legal management. The operation will be led by Sidney Falcão, who serves as Executive Director of Starian Inteligência Legal. The Operational Efficiency solutions, which include the products Checklist Fácil and Runrun.it, focus on boosting productivity, standardization and intelligent process management in any type of company. Marcelo Ferreira is the Executive Director of Starian Operational Efficiency. Starian's business thesis is based on the model built at the former Construction Industry Unit of Softplan, which has the Sienge in the center, and creates complete ecosystems, with complementary products and integrated management. The strategy is to replicate the model and consolidate the ecosystems that are being developed in the other verticals. In addition, inorganic growth continues to be a fundamental part of the expansion of the operation. To lead this front, with a focus on M&A, Starian has Alex Anton as Chief Strategy Officer. “The verticals expand our market potential in the future, including the possibility of operating in new business fronts”, highlights Starian CEO, Ionan Fernandes. About Starian Starian is a group that brings together SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions specialized in the areas of Construction Industry, Legal Intelligence and Productivity and Efficiency. Using control point software as an enabler and growth driver for new business lines, it is focused on creating complete ecosystems for the segments in which it operates. With a trajectory of over 34 years in the private market, it has over 1,5 employees and intends to serve 20 customers in 2025.

In a journey that began in 2017 with a strategic investment and, later in 2019, with the majority purchase of the company, the company finalized the purchase of the remaining shares from Jéferson de Castilhos, one of the founders, and now holds 100% of the startup.

The startup has grown within the ecosystem Softplan, has evolved autonomously and is now consolidating itself as a key part of our strategy to transform the public sector”, says Eduardo Smith, CEO of the Group Softplan. Founded in 2014, 1Doc was born with the purpose of digitizing processes and bringing citizens and governments closer together through a 100% cloud-based platform. Today, it serves an average of 1000 entities throughout the country and has a team of 141 employees, reinforcing its reach and relevance in the public sector, being responsible for directly impacting the lives of more than 22 million Brazilians.

Today, this solution is a central part of our delivery to more efficient, connected, and citizen-centric cities and entities,” explains Márcio Santana, Executive Director of Softplan Public Sector. Acquisition strategy With 1Doc fully integrated into its portfolio, the company will expand its capacity to offer a complete digital journey — from document processing to citizen service — with SaaS, cloud-based and easily scalable solutions. “The journey with 1Doc is a clear example of our acquisition strategy: identifying companies with high growth potential and strong synergy with our business. Since the first investment, our goal has been to boost the solution, combining capabilities and expanding the value delivered to the end customer. The full acquisition consolidates this movement and reinforces our commitment to building more efficient and connected journeys for our customers,” says Alex Anton, M&A and Strategy Director of the Group.

Group Softplan Completes Acquisition of Oystr to Strengthen Legal Intelligence Ecosystem

Company specializing in automation robots for the legal market is the company's 13th acquisition; the company's strategy Softplan Legal Intelligence complements the Projuris portfolio of solutions for law firms and legal departments Florianópolis, April 2025 – The Group Softplan, one of the largest technology and SaaS ecosystems in the country, continues its growth strategy and announces the acquisition of Oystr, a legaltech specialized in the automation of legal flows and management of digital certificates. The company becomes part of the portfolio of Softplan Legal Intelligence, a vertical dedicated to solutions for the legal sector and law firms, which has Projuris as its main solution. This is the company's 13th acquisition in its 34-year history. Since 2020, the Group Softplan has intensified this strategy, totaling 12 acquisitions in the last five years. With this new move, Softplan Legal Intelligence expands its portfolio with solutions that automate legal tasks, such as publication capture, electronic petitioning, and digital certificate management. The solution integrates with external systems, optimizing workflows and increasing the efficiency of professionals in the sector. “We monitored Oystr’s potential in the market and identified the opportunity to further strengthen our vertical. This acquisition expands the integration of automation solutions and enhances the use of Artificial Intelligence in our products”, highlights Eduardo Smith, CEO of the Group Softplan. For Rafael Caillet, CEO of Oystr, the acquisition represents an important milestone in the more than 10-year history of the startup, which also has Leandro Cruz and Jonas Pacheco as founding partners. “Integrating our solution into the largest legal ecosystem in the country is a fundamental step towards boosting automation in the sector and increasing the efficiency of professionals,” says the executive. The company recently launched Presto, an innovative solution for managing digital credentials and certificates. With the inclusion of Oystr in its portfolio, Softplan Legal Intelligence projects a 38% growth for the year 2025, compared to 2024. Sidney Falcão, executive director of the business unit, emphasizes that the implementation of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is a strategic differentiator to maximize the productivity and efficiency of clients. “Our commitment is to offer a complete experience, which ranges from the optimization of repetitive tasks to the integrated management of documents and legal processes. We identify synergies that not only streamline operations, but also add direct value to the market”, he concludes. The Group’s inorganic growth Softplan considers pillars such as product synergy and organizational culture. “Our M&A process carefully evaluates the complementarity of solutions and the cultural affinity between companies. This ensures that we deliver a more robust ecosystem to customers and leverage the talents of both operations,” explains Smith. Technology potential The robots used by Oystr are multi-system, which can increase the flow of tasks. “In total, we have more than 480 active robots, but if we consider that the same robot that performs a task in Bahia also works in Roraima, Paraná or any other state, this indicator increases considerably, boosting the flow of systems throughout the country,” says Rafael Caillet. The company has a high data processing capacity, which in turn enhances the automation of several law firms and legal departments. Over the last six years, Oystr robots have performed more than 250 million tasks. More than 600 companies were impacted and, through cutting-edge technology, made their businesses more efficient and sustainable. Founded in 2014 to automate repetitive and costly legal tasks, the more than 1.000 robots already developed by Oystr perform the collection of subpoenas, mass protocols, internal systems feeding, among other functions. Its more than 300 clients include Nelson Wilians Advogados, Mascarenhas Barbosa Advogados, Góes & Nicoladelli, Pereira Gionedis Advogados, Pellon & Associados, Unimed Curitiba.
