Data engineering since 2000.

Meta Dados has been around since 2000. That's 26 years doing the same thing, better every time: connecting systems that were never meant to talk to each other and turning what comes out of them into decisions. We started back when integration meant late nights of TXT files and FTP, and we've ridden every wave of technology since — without ever trading engineering for whatever was trendy at the moment.

We're not an agency that outsources the hard work. We're a data engineering consultancy specialized in transportation and logistics, with our own products live in production and a single technical lead from assessment to delivery. This page tells you who we are, what we've built, and who runs every project.

Meta Dados was born in São Paulo in the year 2000, with a simple, stubborn conviction: no company should ever re-enter the same data twice. Back then, integrating two systems was a months-long project. Today we do in days what once took quarters — but the client's problem is still the same: the information is scattered, arrives late, and lives in spreadsheets no one trusts.

Over more than two decades, we've lived through the shift from XML to the API, the arrival of the cloud, the explosion of vehicle trackers, and now the era of intelligent automation. In every phase, we kept our focus where it has always been: the end of re-keying and the end of the spreadsheet in the middle of the road. Logistics became our natural terrain because it's where fragmentation hurts the most — a tracker on one side, an ERP on the other, a TMS in between, and the end customer waiting for an answer no one has in real time.

We don't measure our 26 years by the size of the team, but by the systems we've learned to tame: SASCAR, Autotrac, Omnilink, Onixsat, Cobli, Geotab, RODOPAR, SAP, TOTVS, Sankhya, Omie — and dozens of others that each client carries as legacy. Knowing how these systems really behave, their poorly documented APIs and their treacherous fields, is what separates a project that works from a promise on a slide.

End-to-end data engineering. We don't sell you a license — we deliver five services that stand on their own:

• Systems integration — we connect trackers, ERPs, TMS, WMS and e-commerce so that data is born once and flows on its own. No re-keying, no spreadsheet in the middle of the road.
• Automation (RPA) — robots that handle the repetitive work eating up your team's hours today: checking, data entry, reconciliation, issuance.
• BI and Analytics — dashboards that turn into decisions, not decoration. Power BI, Metabase, Tableau or Grafana, connected straight to the source and refreshed automatically.
• Governance and LGPD — mapping of personal data, technical compliance from collection to disposal, and privacy by design, not by patch.
• Cybersecurity — pentesting, vulnerability analysis and incident response, with the same discipline as those who build the systems they protect.

The thread that ties it all together is our expertise in logistics: we understand a manifest, a CT-e, a packing list and a telemetry event as well as we understand a database. That's why we can talk to the operations director and the developer in the same conversation.

Meta Dados is led by Djeferson Capelli. There's no layer of account managers between you and the person who designs the solution: you talk to the engineer who's going to build it. That's the advantage, not the limitation.

The technical authority comes from a background rarely found in one place:

• PhD from USP — scientific rigor and state of the art. Real research behind every architecture decision, not a vendor's guesswork.
• Engineering degree from ITA — a method forged in one of the most demanding schools in the country. Thinking through the entire system before writing the first line.
• Method inspired by the Israeli school of offensive cybersecurity (Ben-Gurion, Beer Sheva) — the discipline of those who learn to break in order to know how to shield. We look at your system the way an attacker would, and that's why we deliver it more resilient.

This combination — science from USP, engineering from ITA and the Israeli offensive mindset — is what lets us treat integration, automation and security as one single thing, rather than three vendors who never talk to each other.

The difference between those who advise and those who deliver shows up in what you're actually able to put into production. Meta Dados maintains 11 of its own products in production, used every day, running real operations:

• Operador.io — open source WMS (inventory, picking, shipping).
• Transportador.io — open source TMS (CT-e, manifest, freight, packing list, tracking).
• Embarcador.io — quoting, scheduling and cargo visibility.
• Insights — BI and fiscal/operational analysis integrating multiple sources.
• BaseCNPJ — enrichment and commercial intelligence via CNPJ in real time.
• Sirena — vehicle tracking, anti-fraud and security alerts.
• LinkWatch — link and uptime monitoring in real time.
• Arquivos.io — intelligent storage and document management with access control.
• Seleciona.io — recruiting with screening, ranking and AI.
• ERP & Management and managed Infrastructure — the foundation of operation and observability.

When you hire us, you don't get theory from someone who's never run a system in production. You get the hands of the people who've kept yours standing for years.

Our method has Japanese names and engineering practice behind it. Six principles that reduce your project's risk and give delivery its rhythm:

• Genba — we go to the floor. The assessment starts where the work actually happens, not in an abstract meeting.
• Ikigai — every integration and every dashboard exists for a clear reason. If it doesn't serve a purpose, it doesn't make it into the project.
• Kaizen — delivery in short cycles and continuous improvement. You see value early, not just at the end.
• Omotenashi — support that anticipates. Monitoring that alerts before the failure, not after the damage.
• Hansei — postmortems without a witch hunt. When something fails, we fix the cause, we don't hunt for someone to blame.
• Shoshin — a beginner's mind. We arrive without assuming your business is the same as the one next door.

All of this under the philosophy that gives our brand its name, Kanso — the beauty of removing the unnecessary. Good engineering disappears: the technology fades away so that your business can take the stage.

There are bigger vendors and there are cheaper vendors. What you'll rarely find together is what defines us:

• Senior from start to finish. No intern learning on your project, no endless phone chain between you and the solution.
• A real logistics specialist. We've already integrated the trackers and ERPs you use. We won't be discovering your industry on your budget.
• Whoever builds it answers for it. The 11 in-house products are the proof that the engineering is ours, not outsourced.
• Nationwide service, a lean team. Based on Av. Paulista, we serve all of Brazil remotely, to the same standard.

It starts with a free assessment in 48 hours: you tell us about your systems and goals, and we hand back a concrete plan — no commitment and no jargon. Data that turns into decisions starts with an honest conversation.
