The company specializes in express deliveries of small-volume parcels (up to 50 kg per volume, per stated limit), envelopes, documents, and regulated cargo such as pharmaceuticals and food. It serves over 10,000 active customers and transports approximately 25 tons daily and roughly 100,000 volumes per month, traveling more than 4 million kilometers monthly on intercity and interstate routes.

The company offers three delivery modalities: Balcão-Balcão (counter-to-counter, where sender drops off and recipient picks up at agency), Porta-Porta (door-to-door collection and delivery), and Balcão-Porta (drop-off at agency with home delivery). Service is delivered through a network of accredited agents across 400+ cities in 10+ Brazilian states, with state-level offices in Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre HQ), Paraná (Curitiba), São Paulo, and Pará (Belém). Its technology stack is operationally oriented: GPS-equipped vehicles for real-time fleet monitoring, electronic tracking via CT-e codes on the third-party SSW Inf.br portal, and LGPD-compliant data handling. The company holds ANVISA certification enabling regulated pharmaceutical and health-product transport, and in 2023 launched a Carbon Neutral Freight (Frete Carbono Neutro) add-on pilot certified by the UN and Carbon Fair.

Viopex operates a transaction-based revenue model: freight fees are quoted per shipment based on weight, dimensions, and destination, with surcharges for difficult delivery areas (TDE) ranging from R$40 to R$250. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires sales contact for quotes. The customer base spans small-volume shippers, general businesses requiring B2B/B2C shipping, and regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals.
