Omnichannel retail management platform for Brazilian e-commerce and brick-and-mortar
Nexaas operates a SaaS platform that unifies inventory, point-of-sale, and fulfillment across physical stores, websites, apps, and marketplaces. The stack is pragmatic (Rails + PostgreSQL + MongoDB on AWS/Heroku) with mobile-first POS capabilities, but pain points reveal operational scaling pressure: acknowledged gaps in DBA and ops infrastructure, high transaction volumes, and churn concerns align with an engineering-heavy hiring focus tilted toward senior hires—suggesting they're solving stability and performance issues rather than feature velocity.
Nexaas is a Brazilian SaaS company founded in 2014 that serves retail operators managing multiple sales channels. The platform enables synchronized inventory across physical storefronts, websites, mobile apps, and major Brazilian marketplaces, with flexible fulfillment options (ship-from-store, pick-up-in-store). Their mobile POS system operates on smart devices without traditional checkout terminals. The company is privately held and operates from São Paulo with fewer than 200 employees, currently in hiring acceleration mode focused on engineering and product roles.
Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Sidekiq, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (SQS, Heroku), and JavaScript on the frontend. They run xUnit tests and use Swagger for API documentation.
The company faces budget constraints, high transaction volumes, and acknowledged gaps in database administration and operations infrastructure. Reducing customer churn and maintaining client satisfaction under high-demand conditions are also priority pain points.
