Agentrics and Neogrid are the operating companies of MAP. With more than 500 people working in 9 languages across 34 countries, we are a leading provider of business solutions to retailers and manufacturers. Our Customers represent more than $1.5 trillion in consumer spending.
Agentrics was formed in 2005 through the merger of WorldWide Retail Exchange (WWRE) and the GlobalNetXchange (GNX), two firms founded by retail industry participants with the mission of driving more efficient and effective trade practices.
In September 2008, Agentrics announced a change in governance, following a controlling-stake investment from M. Abuhab Participações (MAP), a Brazil-based private holding company. With this investment, Agentrics has been able to address broader interests of the retail, consumer goods and industrial sectors worldwide.
In January 2010, Agentrics announced the appointment of Wellington Machado as the company's new CEO. As the head of NeoGrid S/A and Agentrics, Wellington will guide the company's expansion into new markets and continue working to enhance its private label, sourcing and supply chain service offerings.
Agentrics Main Board works closely with the Advisory Board and the Operating Committee on business policy, integration with MAP and Neogrid strategy and feedback on business direction. The Agentrics Global Management Team is responsible for business strategy, direct ion and all day-to-day operations.
