Your transport operation runs on four systems that don’t talk to each other. And the risk lives in the gaps.
Kavuka TMS runs the whole operation — freight, fiscal documents, automatic insurance endorsement and a control tower — with what no other TMS has: native risk intelligence. The carrier goes through KYB, the driver through Driver Score and the trip through Cargo Intelligence, all inside the contracting flow.

A pipeline running the complete operation of shippers and carriers — from order to confirmed delivery, with fiscal documents and automatic endorsement in the flow and the platform’s risk intelligence built into every contract.
Your operation is scattered across spreadsheets, WhatsApp and four systems that don’t talk — and the risk lives exactly there.
The forgotten endorsement
Coverage that depends on someone’s memory is the one the claim discovers was missing. Stolen cargo, an un-endorsed trip, an exempt insurer — and the loss is entirely yours.
The freight leak no one audits
Charges paid without checking against the contract bleed 2% to 5% of freight cost — silently, every month, never showing up in any report.
The third party hired in the dark
A subcontracted carrier on a forced-labor or sanctions list, an unvetted driver, an unmet risk-management plan: labor, criminal and reputational risk hauling your cargo, under your name.
Cost Brazil records over 8,500 cargo thefts a year, nearly R$ 1 billion in losses — and most of the exposure comes from the fragmented operation that cannot see the risk it carries: the forgotten endorsement becomes an uncovered claim, the missing audit becomes systematic overpayment, and the unvetted third party becomes labor and reputational liability.
From contracting to delivery, in one system — with risk under control.
- 01
Contract with verification
The carrier goes through KYB, the driver through Driver Score and screening (sanctions / forced-labor lists) runs automatically — before any cargo leaves.
- 02
Operate in the flow
Freight, fiscal documents (CT-e, MDF-e, CIOT), EDI and automatic insurance endorsement before the trip starts — paperwork and coverage with no manual steps.
- 03
Track in the control tower
Trips, incidents, SLAs and indicators in real time, with RMS and telemetry alerts integrated — the end of visibility by phone call.
- 04
Audit and improve
Automatic check of every charge against contracts, tables and what was actually run — discrepancies become flags before payment.
The operating system of transport
Each module delivers a stage of the operation in the same flow — and the platform’s risk intelligence lives inside them, not in a parallel system.

Fiscal compliance, guaranteed coverage and documented third parties
In transport, risk is not just operational — it is legal and insurance-related. Kavuka TMS was designed so compliance never depends on memory: flawless fiscal handling is the ticket in, endorsement guarantees coverage and third-party management documents your defense.
- Complete fiscal document management: CT-e, MDF-e, CIOT and EDI issued and managed in the flow, with no parallel system.
- Automatic, integrated endorsement before each trip starts — coverage that never depends on someone remembering.
- Documented third-party management: carrier KYB and screening (sanctions/forced-labor lists) logged per contract, a defense against subcontracting liability.
- Risk-management-plan compliance: recorded verification that avoids the breach that exempts the insurer in a claim.
- Per-trip and per-charge audit trail: every decision with source, rationale and date; public or legally permitted sources and encryption in transit and at rest.
We now operate in a single system. CT-e, tracking, endorsement and risk stopped living in four screens — and the spreadsheet that stitched it all together is gone.
The freight audit paid for itself in the first month. Billing discrepancies no one used to catch became flags before payment.
No third party hauls under our name without passing KYB and screening. Endorsement stopped being a bet on memory.
See your operation running in one system — with risk under control.
In 15 minutes you see the full flow on your real network: verified contracting, fiscal and endorsement in the flow, control tower and freight audit.

What a TMS is and why risk must live inside it
A TMS (Transportation Management System) is the operating system of the transport operation: freight planning and contracting, routing, fiscal document management (CT-e, MDF-e, CIOT, EDI), automatic insurance endorsement, incident management, freight audit and the control tower over trips. It answers the questions that define logistics: who carries the cargo, on which route, at what cost, under which fiscal document, with what coverage — and how to prove it was all fulfilled.
In Brazil, the typical transport operation rarely lives in a single system. The common stack adds a TMS for freight and fiscal, a tracking system, a risk-management provider and an insurer — four systems that don’t talk, stitched together by spreadsheets and WhatsApp. The Brazilian fiscal layer is the ticket into any TMS: without flawless CT-e, MDF-e and CIOT there is no operation. But perfect fiscal handling cannot see the risk the cargo carries — and it is in the gaps between these systems that risk lives: the forgotten endorsement, the freight paid without checking, the third party hired without verification.
Kavuka TMS’s differentiator is structural: while a traditional TMS manages the flow, Kavuka embeds the platform’s risk intelligence inside the flow. The contracted carrier goes through KYB (status, ownership structure, lawsuits, sanctions and forced-labor lists); the driver through Driver Score; the trip through Cargo Intelligence; and the insurance through automatic endorsement that never forgets. It is not a parallel risk system bolted on by a fragile integration — it is native verification, inside the contract, before the cargo leaves. The TMS stops being the system that merely records the operation and becomes the system that protects it.
In practice, this turns three points of chronic pain into control. Endorsement by memory becomes automatic endorsement before the trip — always, with no one needing to remember. Freight paid in the dark becomes an automatic audit against the contract, stopping the silent 2%-to-5% leak no one sees and delivering the fastest, most demonstrable ROI of the product. And the carrier or driver hired blindly becomes verified, documented contracting, with a natural bridge to Kavuka RMS on the same platform. The result is the TMS that operates AND protects: one system instead of four, coverage that never fails, the leak stopped and every third party verified before hauling under your name.
Does Kavuka TMS issue CT-e, MDF-e and CIOT?
Yes. The full fiscal document management for road transport runs in the flow, with EDI for integration with shippers and automatic insurance endorsement before each trip starts.
What is the "built-in risk intelligence"?
It is native verification on every contract: the third-party carrier goes through the KYB engine (status, owners, lawsuits, sanctions/forced-labor lists), the driver through the Driver Score pipeline and the trip receives Cargo Intelligence — without leaving the flow, with no parallel system.
How does the freight audit work?
Each charge is automatically checked against contracts, tables and what was actually run — discrepancies become flags before payment. It is the module with the fastest ROI of the product, often paying for itself within the first months.
Does it integrate with existing trackers and risk-management providers?
Yes. The control tower receives signals from the market’s leading trackers and talks to Kavuka RMS natively. Migration can be gradual, module by module, without stopping the operation.
Is it for shippers or for carriers?
Both. The shipper uses the control tower, verified contracting and the freight audit; the carrier uses the complete operation, from freight to fiscal. Modules compose by profile.
What happens if the endorsement is not made?
Without endorsement, the trip runs uncovered and the claim discovers the failure too late — the insurer is exempt and the loss falls on the contractor. In Kavuka TMS, endorsement is automatic and integrated before the trip starts, removing that dependence on memory.
What is the difference between Kavuka TMS and RMS?
The TMS is the operating system of transport (freight, fiscal, control tower, audit) with verification built into contracting. The RMS (Risk Management System) is the cargo-transport risk-management layer. They are a natural pair: the TMS operates and the RMS deepens risk control, on the same platform.
