Maxitrans

What Maxitrans does

Maxitrans Transporte & Logística Internacional is a privately held Brazilian freight forwarding and logistics company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Osasco, São Paulo. It operates a B2B platform-plus-services model targeted exclusively at legal entities (CNPJ), providing international and domestic road freight, air freight, sea freight, warehousing, international HUB cross-docking, LTL consolidation, and specialized oversized-cargo transport. Its primary geographic focus is the Brazil–Mercosur corridor (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay), supported by 6 strategically distributed offices and an international agent network.

The company's core product is the Plataforma Maxitrans, a cloud-based online platform that allows customers to request freight quotes and manage logistics services globally; this digital front door sits on top of an underlying physical operation that includes a modern, diversified fleet (including high-capacity Double Deck vehicles) and 24h vehicle tracking. Maxitrans holds a dense portfolio of Brazilian regulatory certifications — including AEO, ANVISA, IBAMA, SASSMAQ, Federal Police CLF, Brazilian Army and Civil Police clearances — that enable it to handle regulated cargoes across health, environmental, military, and security verticals. The firm is led by founder and CEO Roberto Alves, has 11–50 employees, and operates without disclosed external investment.

Maxitrans earns revenue primarily through transaction-based freight fees (international and domestic road, air, and maritime) plus professional services fees for warehousing. Pricing is fully quote-based and non-public; quotes include freight value, estimated delivery time, and service conditions, and are determined by origin/destination, cargo type, weight, dimensions, volume, and transport mode. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, combining direct enterprise sales via offices with self-serve quote requests through the cloud platform, email, and WhatsApp. Self-reported operational metrics include 1,300+ completed transports and 7,300+ tons shipped cumulatively across more than 20 years.

Direct peers

• Log-In Logística: Brazilian integrated logistics operator with road, rail, coastal, and inland waterway services, including containerized and cross-border operations. Comparable as a Brazilian multi-modal logistics company serving Mercosul trade flows with a similar B2B customer base.
• Grupo América (América Latina Logística / Hidrovias do Brasil adjacent players): Brazilian cross-border road and rail logistics operator with strong Mercosul presence. Comparable to Maxitrans in addressing Brazil-Argentina and Brazil-Chile freight corridors with multi-modal capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with deep Brazil-Mercosul operations in road, air, ocean, and customs. Comparable in service breadth and target enterprise customer base, though competing across a far broader portfolio than Maxitrans.
• DB Schenker: Global freight forwarder and logistics provider with significant road, air, and ocean freight operations across South America. Comparable as a multi-modal forwarder serving similar enterprise cross-border customers, though at materially larger scale than Maxitrans.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Top-tier global freight forwarder with strong presence in Brazil and Mercosur across road, air, ocean, and contract logistics. Comparable service mix to Maxitrans, but with global procurement scale and enterprise digital platforms that compete for the same mid-market and enterprise shippers.
• Tegma Gestão Logística: Brazilian publicly listed logistics company focused on road transport of finished vehicles and dedicated logistics. Comparable as a Brazilian road-freight specialist, particularly relevant for Maxitrans' automotive-adjacent and oversized-cargo segments.
• JSL (JSL S.A.): Brazilian publicly listed logistics holding with road transport, dedicated transport, and logistics services across South America. Comparable as a larger multi-modal Mercosul logistics player that competes for similar enterprise freight customers, though at significantly greater scale.

Emerging players

• Loggi: Brazilian digital logistics company offering last-mile and middle-mile road freight services with a tech-led platform. Comparable as a digitally native Brazilian forwarder; differs by being primarily domestic and last-mile rather than international cross-border.
• Flexport: US-based digital freight forwarder with growing presence in Latin America and emerging-market trade lanes. Comparable as a tech-forward forwarder pursuing B2B shippers with a self-service platform, though Flexport's strength is ocean/air rather than cross-border road.
• CargoX: Brazilian digital freight startup operating a trucker-matching platform for road freight in Brazil and select South American markets. Comparable as a technology-enabled freight intermediary targeting B2B shippers with a digital-first model, though CargoX is more focused on domestic trucking and lacks Maxitrans' cross-border customs depth.
