The Empresa 1 Story
Empresa 1 has a legacy of creating new solutions, from bringing the first electronic ticketing project to the city of Salto, São Paulo in 1997, to launching payment by bank card in Brazil’s mass transportation system in 2016. The company has received international awards for their advanced face recognition technology, which now includes riders wearing masks. The biometric technology is also used to combat fraud in the health care sector.
In 2018, Empresa 1 joined the Modaxo collective to work together in transportation modernization and bring their solutions as a technological integrator to new markets.
