A Startup Hegaxon Pro desenvolveu um software capaz de unificar a gestão de toda a ****** de exportação, diminuindo dificuldades de produtividade e maximizando a capacidade de operação. O software busca trazer mais agilidade à operação de logística nos terminais de celulose.

Last Thursday (21/07), Startup Hegaxon Pro announced the development of a software with participation in 85% of pulp export operations in the port of Santos. The system developed by Hegaxon Pro has been in operation for about 8 months and is present in two of the largest pulp companies in the country.

After the new system, the Port of Santos has already handled more than 6 million tons of pulp

The new solution makes it possible to control everything from transport to storage, planning and also loading onto the ship, the Hegaxon Pro system has directly contributed to the increase in the volume of pulp exports in Brazil. The solution initially received an investment of BRL 2,5 million in a pre-seed round and is present in two of the largest pulp companies in the country.

It is from the Santos port terminal that the largest amount of cellulose leaves for other countries. And according to the Santos Port Authority (SPA), in February alone, the port of Santos exported around 613,9 thousand tons of the product. In January, the result was even greater, a total of 655 thousand tons. According to the CEO of Hegaxon Pro, Luiz Simões, the software has already handled more than 6 million tons of pulp, having simultaneously operated the loading of 6 different ships.

“Within 6 months of foundation, we were selected at Cubo Itaú, the largest innovation hub in Latin America. We participated in Intermodal 2022, considered the largest logistics fair in Brazil. Now we are starting a road show in Brazil to present the solution. The goal is to show the potential of the tool for all bonded and non-bonded facilities that handle pulp, bulk and loose cargo”, justifies Luiz about the next steps and negotiations.

Hegaxon Pro has exponential growth and received investments of BRL 2 million in 2021

In this sense, in order to develop and start operating in the market, Startup Hegaxon Pro received in 2021 an investment of around BRL 2 million in pre-seed rounds. The company that has more than 20 employees dedicated to improving the solution, Hegaxon has conquered customers who export millions of tons of pulp and is expected to earn close to R$ 3 million in the first year alone.

Thus, according to the panorama of the pulp industry in Brazil and in the world, prepared by Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE), Brazil is highly competitive in pulp production and exports around 70% of its production.

In addition, in 2021, the country maintained the position of the previous year, remaining in 1st place in the world ranking of pulp exports. As CEO Luiz Simões states, the startup operates in a market in which Brazil is the world leader in pulp exports and is also among the five largest grain exporters, making the solution even more necessary.

“Nós temos o privilégio de estar no país que mais exporta celulose e entre os que mais exportam grãos no mundo. Isso é importante tanto para nós, quanto para os nossos clientes, que têm mais oportunidade no mercado. Investir em uma tecnologia que entrega controle, gestão e inteligência para toda a ****** de exportação é o caminho para se manter no topo e suportar o crescimento”, finaliza Luiz.
