TADEX Transportes

What TADEX Transportes does

TADEX Transportes (legal name TADEX TRANSPORTES EIRELI) is a privately held Brazilian freight transportation company founded in 1995 and headquartered in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, with a regional branch in Vila Guilherme, São Paulo. The company specializes exclusively in the distribution of fractional cargo (less-than-truckload / cargas fracionadas), serving business shippers across five Brazilian states — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais — plus the Federal District, including more than 100 municipalities within São Paulo alone. It typically offers delivery within 24 hours across much of its coverage area.

The company operates three integrated core services: Coleta (collection, including same-day urgent pickups and scheduled daily pickups for high-volume clients), Recebimento (receiving at its own units during extended business hours, which lets clients extend their own sales windows), and Distribuição (distribution using a versatile fleet operating simultaneously across multiple municipalities to navigate local road and time-window restrictions). These services are supported by proprietary internal-facing digital tools — a customer area (apps.tadex.com.br), a shipper tracking portal keyed by invoice number and CNPJ/CPF, and a partner CT-e tracking tool — all built atop ERP-integrated logistics systems and GPS-based fleet monitoring. The digital layer is purpose-built for TADEX's operations rather than being a standalone software product.

TADEX's revenue model is transaction-based freight pricing, with charges calculated per shipment from merchandise weight, cubic measurements, and the declared value on the invoice; quotes are valid for 15 days. Supplementary fees include the TDE (Taxa de Dificuldade de Entrega) for difficult delivery locations, waiting fees beyond 20 minutes, after-hours or dedicated-vehicle fees, and a re-delivery/devolution fee set at 100% of the original freight when a failed delivery is the recipient's responsibility. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer through the website, phone (São José dos Campos and São Paulo lines), WhatsApp messaging, and inside sales, with no third-party logistics partners, brokers, or marketplace distribution channels disclosed. The company operates as an EIRELI (single-member limited liability company) with no external venture capital, private equity, or public shareholders identified.
