What CRZD Solutions does

CRZD Solutions, Lda. is a privately held Portuguese professional services firm founded in 2015 by Carlos Miguel Teixeira Carrazedo and headquartered in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. The firm operates with approximately eight employees across consultant locations in Porto, Castelo Branco, Caldas da Rainha, and Lisboa, and delivers a three-pillar service portfolio in Safety (occupational health and safety, fire safety, ATEX zone classification, Seveso Directive compliance, dangerous goods transport), Environment (environmental management, waste, licensing), and Quality (ISO management systems). Its revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements, third-party auditing for certification bodies (covering ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001), and a DGERT-certified training business that runs both scheduled inter-company public courses and customized intra-company programs.

The firm's underlying "technology" is professional expertise rather than a proprietary platform: lead auditor status for the major ISO management systems, ANEPC-registered fire safety project designer credentials, IATA DGR and Conselheiro de Segurança certifications, and IEFP-certified trainers. Training is priced per participant (e.g., €100–€150 per participant for most courses, VAT-exempt), while consulting and auditing are priced per project engagement with payment required in advance of course commencement. Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting Portuguese industrial, construction, municipal, chemical, waste management, and transportation organizations needing compliance with EU and Portuguese safety, environmental, and quality regulation. The firm additionally resells RAYVN AS incident management software under a partnership arrangement, extending its emergency response and fire safety offering into digital tooling.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: a content-marketing website in Portuguese and English, a public training schedule, and direct phone/email outreach. In 2025, the firm became a beneficiary of the Portugal 2030 "Emprego +Talento" European-funded grant supporting employment and talent development. There is no evidence of external equity investors, parent company, or subsidiary relationships; the firm remains an independent, founder-led boutique consultancy with a single-country (Portugal) geographic footprint and no disclosed revenue figures.
