About Us

We Love Shipping Intelligence!

In our experience of more than 40 years in the market, we see time and again how decisions based on isolated or outdated information can generate inefficiencies in the various links of the logistics chain, resulting in lost opportunities and increased logistics costs.

SOLVE was created in 2016 to help analysts, managers, directors, and CEOs to make agile, direct, and assertive decisions, always based on accurate information and solid concepts of Competitive Intelligence and Strategic Planning.

The company was created by specialists with recognized experience in the Logistics and Foreign Trade sectors, especially with regard to the East Coast of South America.
Its founding partners have extensive experience in conducting day-to-day processes, whether in shipping companies, maritime agencies, terminals, ports, or consultancies, covering the entire scope of activities, from market intelligence, through sales, operations and institutional relationships.

This experience allows us to produce studies not only based on solid academic concepts, but also on the best market practices, always supported by an extensive network built over the years.
