Plataforma digital SVIAS: desenvolvimento de tecnologia que viabilize o compartilhamento de estruturas e serviços entre empresas do transporte rodoviário de passageiros e cargas

Abstract

The present project has the purpose to present a collaborative digital platform, being a model for sharing of idle assets and services in garages. The solution was developed basis knowledge sharing and analyzing data obtained through market research, including Benchmarking and interviewing potential customers. The road transport segment in Brazil is composed of a group of Cargo and Passenger Road Transport Companies, which operate through public concessions, on long time charter and/or voyage contracts, crossing whole national territory. As it is an extremely competitive sector with few strategic differentials, the cost control management is a key factor for generating results. During the development of this study, the descriptive research method was used with a qualitative approach, in addition to documental and market research to collect data, economic/financial indexes and marketing information. It was observed, among the interviews carried out with companies that in the Interstate and Intermunicipal Road Transport market for both Cargo and Passengers, the necessity of complementary services for their fleet along the routes operated. The purpose of the platform is to easily connect transportation companies in the segment to other vendors, willing to share idle spaces and services since they need this structure outside their main area of operation. The possibility of other vendors joining to supply spare parts, accessories, services and fuel, can provide the reduction of operating costs and agility on contingency plans (damages and mechanical failure), bringing more efficient logistics solutions and competitive advantage to the operation. The project proved to be feasible as it generates great revenue opportunities for garage structures across the country and provides great costs prediction and business opportunities for the chartering, cargo and tourism transportation segment.
