What Vix Logística S.A. does

Vix Logística S.A., doing business as Autoport, is a Brazilian automotive logistics company founded in 1990 and operating as a subsidiary brand within VIXPar, the logistics division of the diversified Grupo Águia Branca. The company provides integrated end-to-end logistics for finished vehicles, heavy vehicles, agricultural and industrial machinery, and automotive parts, serving automakers, trading companies, dealerships, rental and fleet operators, insurance companies, construction and mining firms, and implementers. Its service portfolio spans vehicle distribution, port operations (as a national port operator accredited across Brazilian ports), interplant supply chain management, yard management with capacity exceeding 7,000 vehicles, pre-delivery inspection (PDI), parts transport, and in-house distribution center management. Underlying these services is a fleet of more than 800 specialized equipment units capable of moving over 130,000 vehicles per month, supported by strategically located operational bases across the major industrial and port regions of Brazil and an international base in Zarate, Argentina.

Autoport's technology stack includes management systems for storage and distribution (WMS/TMS), a customer portal for delivery tracking and forecasting, EDI-based document exchange, API integration capabilities with customer systems, a driver-facing "Auto Motorista" application for route tracking, and a mobile app for electronic cargo conference. The company also operates "Vix Labs," an internal laboratory for innovation and digital transformation. Equipment units incorporate advanced transport technologies such as air suspension, spring-brake braking systems, electro-hydraulic lifting systems, and tracking devices tied to a Risk Management Plan. Autoport was among the first Brazilian automotive logistics companies to achieve ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications, and holds an AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification from Brazil's Receita Federal plus Certificate of Integrity No. 844/95 from the Ministry of Transport, enabling cross-border operations in Mercosur.

The business model is enterprise B2B and quote-based, with pricing determined per engagement and structured around multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through dedicated customer service centers, enterprise field sales targeting OEMs and large fleet owners, and a quote-request workflow on the corporate website; existing customers transact through the client portal. Revenue is generated from professional services fees across eight identified streams: vehicle logistics and distribution, heavy vehicle logistics, parts transportation, port operations, yard management and storage, automotive services and PDI, logistics intelligence consulting, and in-house (managed) operations at customer sites. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward enterprise OEMs and trading firms, with no public revenue or ARR disclosure available.
