Through business associates, distributors and international agreements with strategic associates, Grupo Pisa has a presence in several countries including Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Its core back office product, SIF, is used by more than 25 customers; its OFI/Cooperando branch products will shortly support more than 2,000 locations in Mexico and Latin America.
