What's the deal? BonifiqDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, the Brazilian startup behind loyalty programmes for brands including Asics, MizunoDealroom has a profile for this one.

Try Dealroom → for US$7.67M (roughly $5.47 million at current exchange rates). It is Bonifiq's first acquisition.
What's the endgame? Bonifiq plans to fold Biso's commercial-analysis tools into its relationship and loyalty software. The goal is to sell more integrated offerings — not just points programmes.
What does Biso do? Its technology uses AI to analyse sales, marketing, inventory, product, and consumer-behaviour data. The flagship Agente Biso lets retailers ask questions about operations, spot opportunities and performance gaps, and get recommended actions to guide campaigns, incentives, and cashback.
The two companies already shared clients, including AjinomotoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and supplements maker VitaforDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. At Vitafor, consumers reached by both firms' campaigns bought 2.5 times more often and spent 7.2% more on average than other customers.
Why now? Founded in 2022, Bonifiq reports annual revenue of US$3.07M and has 52 employees. It has raised two funding rounds, most recently a follow-on from Stamina Ventures, and says more deals are under review.
On the back of the acquisition, the company projects it will double revenue in 2027. It has not said how much of that growth would come from Biso, so the target is best read as a company expectation rather than a guaranteed result.
The signal: The deal reflects broader corporate appetite for AI in Brazil. In October, ItaúDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → announced the purchase of NeoSpaceDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → for US$748.3M, turning a prior technology partnership into control of the startup.
