Domestic and multimodal freight forwarding

Domestic multimodal operation in Brazil with 100% dedicated teams: road, rail and cabotage.

What it solves

In Brazil, the domestic leg often concentrates much of an operation's lead time and risk: long distances, route restrictions and transshipments between modes. Centaurea plans and coordinates this leg as part of the same operation, not as an isolated freight.

What Centaurea does

  • Choice of mode or mode combination based on cargo, timeline and total cost;
  • Coordination of road, rail and cabotage carriers;
  • Route planning for heavy and out-of-gauge cargo;
  • Integration with the international leg and customs clearance, when applicable;
  • Milestone follow-up and exception handling until delivery.
