The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

About Buonny
A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”

Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

About Buonny
A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.

This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

About Buonny
A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”

Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.

About Buonny
A leading road-transport risk management company, Buonny operates in Brazil and other Mercosur countries and currently manages about R$ 400 billion a year in cargo. The company offers technologies and a range of solutions for managing security and logistics operations, with modular and adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers.
The initially-planned outlay of R$ 300 million will be invested in companies to improve the efficiency of national logistics through the intensive use of technology and data
São Paulo, November 30, 2020 – Today SK Tarpon announced an investment in Buonny, a leading Brazilian technology company in the logistics-risk management and productivity segment. This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.

This is the first investment led by Niche Partners, part of the SK Tarpon ecosystem. Niche Partners focuses on leading companies in niche markets and has developed a thesis linked to supply chain technologies, a sector that has been undergoing a digitalization process which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With operations throughout Brazil and other Mercosur countries, Buonny offers technologies and a range of security and logistics operations management solutions. These include modular, adaptable options for any size and type of logistics project – shippers, transport companies, logistics operators or self-employed drivers. Buonny is currently responsible for managing more than R$ 400 billion a year in transported cargo.
For Vasco Oliveira, the partner at SK Tarpon who is in charge of the project, the investment in Buonny was motivated by its consistent growth and results in recent years, mainly based on proprietary software. “The company’s revenue is predominantly from technology, with more than 90% of it recurrent,” explains Oliveira. Other important differentials include the quality of Buonny’s team, the reputation of its partners, the fact that it has the largest and best database in the sector – with 1.8 million registered drivers, which is central to the strategy – and its portfolio of more than 13,000 active clients.
SK Tarpon’s investment in Buonny is aimed at enhancing and perpetuating the legacy of entrepreneurs Cyro Buonavoglia and Eliel Fernandes, who founded the company 25 years ago and will continue to lead Buonny’s management as senior partners in the business. “The idea is to maintain the brand, culture and team, but with our expertise in management, investments and entrepreneurship, we want to take the company to a new level in terms of operational and financial performance,” says Oliveira, who founded AGV Logística, is co-founder and President of the Brazilian Logistics Operators Association (Abol) and has 22 years’ experience in the logistics sector.
Cyro Buonavoglia, now on the Board of Directors, says that “Niche is the ideal partner to drive the company’s growth, not only because of their knowledge of the supply chain and technology market but also their management philosophy and business model, focused on creating value with a long-term vision and preserving successful companies’ DNAs and operational autonomy.”
Eliel Fernandes, Buonny’s CEO, says the relationship with SK Tarpon was love at first sight. “In addition to the cultural alignment, Niche’s team has added expertise and investment capacity to Buonny that will be fundamental for this new phase of innovations. Data and people will make a bigger and bigger difference going forward. We want to continue innovating and staying ahead of the market and we could not have found a better partner for this new cycle,” celebrates Fernandes.
