Ciclo Engenharia Ltda.

What Ciclo Engenharia Ltda. does

Ciclo Engenharia Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, that develops and distributes technical information for the automotive repair aftermarket. Its core product is Diagweb, a subscription web platform delivering electrical diagrams, interactive graphic pinouts, oscillograms, fuse-box layouts, engine synchronization data, torque specifications, component tests, maintenance plans, and fault code information to independent repair workshops (oficinas) and automotive mechanics across Brazil. The company differentiates through proprietary software that ingests structured spreadsheets and auto-generates standardized electrical diagrams at a claimed 20x productivity multiplier, and through a unique two-view diagram presentation (System view plus graphic connector pinout) that is designed to eliminate diagnostic blind spots.

The business operates a self-serve, product-led go-to-market motion: workshops can subscribe directly via ciclo.eng.br, start with a free test drive covering specific vehicle models, and use DiagApp (a freemium iOS/Android companion providing 70,000+ DTC fault code descriptions in English with translation) as a multi-device authentication token for Diagweb. Distribution is primarily digital — corporate site, Diagweb, blog, YouTube channel, email newsletter, app stores, and inbound telemarketing — with no disclosed enterprise or anchor customers and no external institutional funding. The underlying Diagweb platform is powered by Tecnologia Nexer under a mutual partnership, while Ciclo retains ownership of the automotive content and intellectual property. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company is bootstrapped, founder-operated, and has begun publicly soliciting partners and capital to keep pace with automaker product launch velocity.

Core offering

Ciclo Engenharia develops and sells subscription-based technical information for the automotive repair industry, delivered through the Diagweb web platform and DiagApp mobile application. Its core offerings include intelligent automotive electrical diagrams with interactive graphic pinouts, fault code (DTC) catalogs, oscillograms, fuse box diagrams, maintenance plans, torque specifications, and component tests. The content is generated by proprietary software that automates the production of standardized diagrams at scale, targeted at automotive repair shops and mechanics across Brazil.

Product overview

Ciclo Engenharia develops technical automotive content and provides two main products: Diagweb (a web-based platform) and DiagApp (a mobile application). Diagweb offers intelligent layouts of automotive wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, graphic pinouts, and a dynamic search engine for automotive repair professionals. DiagApp serves as a companion mobile app for fault code lookup and platform authentication. The company produces electrical diagrams, graphic pinouts, oscillograms, fuse box information, and other relevant technical automotive information to support the repair supply chain.
