Sete Lagos Transportes

What Sete Lagos Transportes does

Sete Lagos Transportes Ltda is a privately held Brazilian road freight transportation company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. The company operates a multi-state branch network spanning Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina, with a headquarters and five filial offices covering Brazil's principal Southeast–South logistics corridors. Its service portfolio consists of four core offerings: Transporte de Cargas Fracionadas (fractional/LTL consolidation), Transporte Dedicado (dedicated fleet), Transporte de Cargas Fechadas (full truckload/FTL), and Transporte Aéreo (air cargo with same-day collection and door-to-door integration). Verticals served include textiles, automotive parts, and food & beverage, with the customer base defined exclusively as B2B clients holding a CNPJ (Brazilian corporate tax ID).

The underlying technology stack centers on a 24-hour vehicle monitoring center and real-time cargo tracking integrated with SSW.inf.br, supported by a fully computerized system for registration, transport document issuance, and billing. All units are interconnected via online systems, and 100% of shipped cargo is insured (RCF-DC and RCTRC coverage) through insurance partners. Operational scale is reported as 300+ collaborators, 1,000,000+ volumes and 100,000 deliveries per month, and more than 15,000m² of infrastructure. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and LGPD-compliant with a designated Data Protection Officer.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis through quote-based freight pricing that varies by cargo type, weight, volume, distance, and service requirements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, B2B-direct: customers request quotes online or via phone/email, and dedicated consultants manage accounts. Distribution is domestic-only (Brazil), with services delivered through owned and aggregated fleet plus third-party airline partnerships for air cargo. Marketing relies on content marketing (blog), SEO, and organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram).
