Arlon Group and FitPart Invest US$18.5m in Brazilian Logistics Solutions Sotran (em português)

February 19, 2021

Arlon Group and FitPart have invested R$100m (approximately US$18.5m) in Sotran, a Brazil-based logistics solutions company serving the agribusiness sector.

(Forbes) A empresa de soluções logísticas Sotran, que atua no transporte rodoviário de cargas para o agronegócio, recebeu um investimento de R$ 100 milhões, liderado pelo fundo de private equity norte-americano Arlon Group e pela FitPart, anunciou a companhia ontem (18). A empresa possui entre seus clientes companhias como Seara, Cargill, Coamo, Copersucar, Yara e BRF, e tem como maior demanda o transporte de soja, açúcar e milho.

Com o aporte, a Sotran pretende ampliar o Tmov, seu marketplace de logística do agronegócio, com o aumento e fidelização da base de motoristas e o lançamento de novos produtos digitais focados em caminhoneiros, embarcadores e transportadoras, de acordo com a logtech. O aporte, segundo investimento recebido pela Sotran, também permitirá a ampliação de sua equipe de tecnologia em 70%, acrescentou a empresa.

“A visão da Sotran é abrir o caminho digital para um futuro melhor dos caminhoneiros. Nos últimos anos, tivemos muito sucesso em alavancar tecnologia para aumentar a receita e o lucro dos milhares dos motoristas que utilizam a nossa plataforma a cada mês”, afirmou em nota o CEO da Sotran, Charlie Conner.

A companhia tem como objetivo crescer 40% em receita ainda em 2021, após atingir R$ 1,3 bilhão em faturamento no ano passado. Entre 2019 e 2020 a receita ligada ao marketplace Tmov cresceu 201%. A plataforma conta atualmente com 60 mil usuários mensalmente ativos, segundo a Sotran.

“O mercado pode esperar novidades em termos de produtos digitais para motoristas, frotistas, embarcadores e grandes empresas que precisam transportar sua matéria-prima, principalmente com as últimas safras recordes que o Brasil teve e as próximas que já são esperadas”, disse o managing principal da Arlon, Bruno Martins Silva. A safra 2020/21 de grãos do Brasil foi estimada pela Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (Conab) em um recorde de 268,3 milhões de toneladas. (com Reuters)
