What It Is

GetControl is an online ERP/business management software product for micro and small businesses in Brazil. It is positioned as a tool to help small companies move away from paper records and Excel spreadsheets. The site states that more than 4,000 micro businesses already use it. The system is 100% cloud-based and can be used to manage cash flow, service orders, quotations, sales, customers, products/services, inventory, and more.

Core Features

Its feature set covers the core day-to-day workflows of a small business. The sales module emphasizes simplicity and practicality, and mentions an Ajax-based sales interface designed to reduce page reloads. The products/services module supports inventory, brands, categories, unique and variable products, as well as low-stock alerts and automatic sale price calculation based on purchase price and profit margin. The purchasing module supports payment status, overdue management, reminders before due dates, discounts, and taxes. The finance module is designed for managing business cash movement.

For team collaboration, the system provides user and role-based permission management, allowing different access levels from administrator to cashier. Reports cover purchases, sales, contacts, inventory, expenses, best-selling products, cash, sales representatives, and more. It also includes POS point-of-sale capabilities.

Pricing and Trial

GetControl uses a subscription model and offers a 7-day free trial, with no contract lock-in, no cancellation penalty, and no registration fee. Annual billing costs MEI R$47/month, LTDA R$77/month, and LTDA PLUS R$127/month; monthly billing costs R$57, R$87, and R$147 respectively. The main differences between plans are the number of users and the number of products/services: MEI includes 1 user and up to 20 items; LTDA includes 3 users and up to 50 items; LTDA PLUS includes 20 users and unlimited products/services. Note that the page clearly states electronic invoices are not included in the plans.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are that its feature bundle is well aligned with micro and small businesses, covering purchasing, sales, inventory, finance, POS, and reporting. Being cloud-based also lowers the adoption barrier, while pricing is transparent and a short free trial is available. The limitations are that the text does not disclose information about third-party integrations, APIs, data security, compliance, backups, payment methods, or similar details. Lower-tier plans also have fairly obvious limits on product count and user seats. Electronic invoicing is not included, which may be an important additional requirement for Brazilian businesses.

Who It’s For and Access from China

GetControl is best suited to Brazilian MEIs, self-employed professionals, micro businesses, and small businesses looking for basic ERP, inventory, and cash-flow management. Access from China is unknown, and the product is clearly oriented toward Portuguese-speaking users and the Brazilian business environment. If you operate in China, you would usually be better off evaluating alternatives such as 金蝶精斗云, 畅捷通/好会计, Odoo, or Zoho to better match local tax, payment, language, and support requirements.
