What Buonny does

Buonny (legal name BUONNY PROJETOS E SERVICOS DE RISCOS SECURITARIOS LTDA) is a São Paulo-headquartered risk management company founded in 1995 that operates Brazil's largest independent cargo-transport risk management platform. The company serves three primary customer segments: transportadoras (cargo transport companies), motoristas (drivers, particularly autonomous operators), and corretores de seguro de carga (cargo insurance brokers), with 15,000+ transport company customers and a database of 2.3 million registered drivers. Its solutions are 100% homologated by major Brazilian cargo insurers and the platform is present in more than 50% of Brazilian road-cargo trips.

Buonny's core technology combines AI-powered facial recognition (Buonnycheck), real-time cargo monitoring with AI-based event processing (Buonnysat, processing 200,000+ trips per month), an accident-prevention tower integrating fatigue sensors, MDVR cameras, and behavioral analytics (Torre de Prevenção / BSafe, issuing 850,000+ monthly alerts), logistics visibility (Buonnylog with the Buonny Driver mobile app promising up to 30% efficiency gains), and equipment provision (trackers, electronic decoys, AI cameras) under a comodato (lending) model. The flagship Cadastro Unificado nstech platform queries 520 data sources, with 78% of searches returning in 9 minutes, and integrates with TMS, WMS, ERP, and ANTT/CT-e regulatory systems.

The business model combines subscription-based risk management services with managed-services equipment provision. Pricing is custom by fleet size and contract scope, billed monthly, with hardware provided under comodato to remove upfront capex for customers. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct enterprise sales, a self-serve customer portal (Minha Buonny), 24/7 WhatsApp and phone support for drivers, and a dedicated corretor broker program. Strategic technology is delivered primarily through the nstech partnership, with Bsoft TMS as an integration partner. The company has 501-1,000 employees and is privately held, with CVM debt-securities filings indicating access to debt capital markets.
