Integrated logistics operator for multimodal river and bulk cargo transport across South America
Hidrovias do Brasil operates integrated logistics across five countries via inland waterway transport—the largest grain-shipping capacity in northern Brazil and the sole integrated fertilizer operator in that region. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (FI, PM, SD, S/4HANA, BTP) layered with Azure data infrastructure (Snowflake, dbt, Power BI, Data Factory), a pattern that reflects a traditional logistics operator digitizing core finance and supply-chain processes while building modern data analytics on top. Active hiring in ops, engineering, and data signals investment in compliance automation and scalability—projects span SOX certification, continuous control improvement, and predictive maintenance on vessels.
Hidrovias do Brasil is a logistics solutions company founded in 2010, operating integrated multimodal transport services with a focus on river waterways across South America. The company operates across Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Bolivia with over 1,700 employees. It holds leading positions in grain transport capacity in northern Brazil, operates as the sole integrated fertilizer operator in the region, and runs the largest operations on the Paraguay-Paraná waterway. The business model combines owned-asset operations (vessels, cargo infrastructure) with client-specific logistics solutions. The company operates under ethical and sustainability commitments, including formal social responsibility programs in operating communities.
Core stack includes SAP modules (S/4HANA, FI, PM, SD, BTP) for finance and supply-chain operations, Azure (Repos, DevOps, Data Factory) for cloud infrastructure, Snowflake + dbt + Power BI for data and analytics, plus supply-chain tools: Coupa (procurement), WMS (warehouse), TMS (transport), EDI, and Freshservice.
Active projects include SOX certification and compliance automation, ISO 9001/14001 management system compliance, continuous control improvement, predictive and preventive maintenance programs on vessels, new technology implementation, crew training, river bathymetric surveys, and hydrological reporting.
