Bee Delivery

What Bee Delivery does

Bee Delivery is a Brazilian logistics startup, legally organized as BEE Tecnologia Ltda, that operates a two-sided marketplace platform connecting businesses with independent delivery personnel (motorcyclists, cyclists, car/van/pickup drivers) for on-demand product delivery. Founded on February 17, 2018 in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, with the legal entity headquartered in Eusébio, Ceará, the company serves restaurants, pharmacies (including açaiterias/açaí shops), and general retail businesses that need on-demand delivery without maintaining an in-house fleet, while simultaneously offering gig income opportunities to individual couriers branded as MotoBee (motorcycle) and BeeBiker (bicycle).

The core technology is a mobile-first platform (Android app plus web portal) that broadcasts delivery requests to nearby delivery partners, tracks them in real time, and settles payments via PIX through multi-bank integrations with Asaas, Banco Bs2, Bradesco, Banco Inter, and Sicredi. Distinctive features include cargo protection coverage up to R$300 per incident and intermittent life insurance for couriers through IZA Seguros. No public API, SDK, or developer platform has been disclosed, and the system is described as a proprietary platform maintained by BEE Tecnologia Ltda.

Bee Delivery monetizes through two channels. On the transaction side, businesses pay a distance-based delivery fee with a R$5.00 minimum, and the platform retains a 20% commission on cash deliveries plus dynamic pricing surcharges during peak hours. On the growth side, the company sells franchises starting at R$15,000, granting operators territory rights and a minimum 20% share of all delivery values in their region. As of the most recent disclosed data, the network comprised 126+ franchises across 25+ Brazilian states (excluding Espírito Santo), 150,000+ registered businesses, 750,000+ registered couriers, and 15 million cumulative deliveries completed within three years of operation.
