How Rodonaves sped up contract formalization with Linte

With nationwide presence and more than 45 years of history, Rodonaves is a benchmark in dry freight transport, connecting people, cities and companies from north to south of Brazil. Founded in 1980, the company built its path with courage, dedication and a clear purpose: to connect people, sharing dreams and values.

Today Rodonaves has a robust network of branches and a fleet that covers thousands of routes daily, offering road and air transport solutions with quality, safety and speed. Recognized for its ethical, transparent and human approach, the company is driven by a vocation to serve and by a commitment to advancing the progress of its clients and of the country.

Guided by its mission of providing reliable transport and excellent service, Rodonaves invests in technology and in people to exceed expectations and deliver sustainable value to society. It was with that strategic view that the company looked for a solution to make its contract management faster, more standardized and more integrated as well, starting the partnership with Linte.

The challenge

Rodonaves faced a critical bottleneck between the decision to hire a supplier and the actual signature of the contract. With a bureaucratic process and rigid internal rules, the time spent on formalization delayed strategic and operational initiatives. There was also a clear need to standardize approval flows and gain visibility over contractual deadlines and responsibilities.

Although they already used a digital signature tool, integrations and automations were still limited. Looking for a more robust solution, Rodonaves evaluated several platforms and chose Linte, starting this major partnership.

The solution

From June 2023 on, Rodonaves started using Linte with an integrated HUB, implementing:

• 8 configured templates
• 8 automated approval flows
• Integrations with Clicksign, Protheus, Power BI and SSO
• Capacity to manage up to 5,000 contracts

The flows were split by contract type, with clear validation and formalization steps involving several areas of the company.

The impact

The main benefits perceived by the Rodonaves team include:

• Centralizing all contract formalization in a single system
• Automating flows across areas and approval hierarchies
• A defined movement SLA with custom alerts and notifications
• Standardization and automatic fill-in of templates

With Linte we achieved remarkable centralization of every process for acquiring outsourced services. That not only unified the information, it also gave us a complete view of the life cycle of each contract.

Beyond centralization, the platform allowed us to standardize contract templates. That standardization is crucial, because it reduces variability, mitigates legal risk and speeds up the negotiation phase, ensuring every agreement is aligned with company guidelines.

Internal adoption is high, especially across the supply areas.
