Growth Capital Will Support Continued Geographic Expansion, Product Innovation, and AI Capabilities

NEW YORK and SÃO PAULO, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scanntech, the leading retail intelligence, data analytics, and marketing services platform in Latin America, today announced a $180 million Series F investment led by L Catterton, the largest global consumer focused investment firm. Partners Group, one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, acting on behalf of its clients, subsequently joined as co-lead through its private equity growth strategy. Bradesco and SPX also participated in the round. The investment will provide Scanntech with substantial growth capital to support its continued expansion and development.

Scanntech transforms granular, ticket-level point-of-sale data into actionable market intelligence for retailers, consumer goods companies, and distributors. Its platform uses real-time data to provide a comprehensive view of purchasing behavior and market dynamics, helping businesses anticipate shifts in demand, develop more relevant products, improve planning, and execute more effectively through pricing, promotions, assortment, and inventory. Scanntech has extensive retail coverage in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and several other markets in Latin America.

In the markets where Scanntech operates, its ticket-level data covers more than 80% of the retail sell-out, based on actual transactions rather than statistical expansion. Scanntech works with more than 600 manufacturers, creating a data ecosystem that becomes richer and more valuable as the platform grows. Built on direct connections to the point of sale, the platform captures actual transactions at scale, giving clients a complete and current view of the consumer economy. Scanntech is benefiting from strong demand for local retail intelligence as consumer goods companies and retailers increasingly rely on data-driven decisions, and as new products, verticals, and channels expand across Latin America.

The investment will enable Scanntech to advance its analytics and AI capabilities, broaden its product suite, and enter new markets and consumer categories, helping its clients become even more efficient. L Catterton will draw on nearly four decades of consumer investing experience, extensive relationships with leading retailers and brands, and global operating capabilities, while Partners Group will bring its deep operational expertise and track record of scaling high-growth businesses. Bradesco plans to support the Company through its financial services expertise, access, and connections. Together with management and existing shareholders, the firms will focus on accelerating geographic expansion and the development of new AI-powered solutions that generate more value for clients.

“Scanntech has grown by giving retailers and consumer goods companies the clarity to act faster, more efficiently, and with greater confidence,” said Raúl Polakof, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Scanntech. “We have built the most granular view of retail in Latin America, and we are only getting started. This round brings together investors with complementary strengths and a shared conviction in our model, alongside long-standing shareholders who have supported us for years. Benny Szylkowski, Soledad Fernandez, and I, together with the entire Scanntech team, will use this capital to accelerate our expansion into new markets, deepen our AI-powered solutions, and bring these benefits to many more retailers and brands across the region.”

“Scanntech captures an exceptionally detailed picture of how consumers across Latin America are shopping and how these behaviors are changing,” said Dirk Donath, a Managing Partner at L Catterton Latin America. “Its platform turns that data into practical intelligence that helps retailers and brands make smarter choices about what to develop, stock, price, and promote. This is directly aligned with what L Catterton does best: understanding the consumer and helping businesses translate that understanding into growth. We look forward to supporting Raúl, Benny, Soledad, and the team as they expand Scanntech’s impact across the region.”

“Scanntech has built a hard-to-replicate data network and an intelligence platform that delivers tangible value for customers,” said Tiago Andrade, Head of Private Equity / Growth Equity in Latin America at Partners Group. “Its differentiated live data capabilities, proven growth, and strong market position create meaningful runway across existing and new markets. We look forward to working alongside L Catterton and the management team to support the Company’s continued expansion.”

Warburg Pincus, Hindiana, IFC, and Endeavor will retain stakes in Scanntech following the transaction, reflecting their continued confidence in the Company’s long-term growth prospects.

J.P. Morgan acted as sole placement agent to Scanntech and the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
