The problem we saw up close
In Portugal, there are more than 4,800 licensed TVDE operators. Most manage between 2 and 10 vehicles, employ drivers, work with Uber and Bolt simultaneously, and have specific tax obligations — including a VAT threshold of €15,500 per year that many people only discover when the letter from the tax authority arrives.
What do these businesses have in common? They manage everything in Excel. Trip data arrives in separate CSV files for each platform. They don't know which car is making money. Driver payments are calculated manually and communicated via WhatsApp. Reports for the accountant are prepared the night before, taking hours.
It's a sector with tens of millions of euros in movement, being managed with tools that were never built for it.
What Frotis does
Frotis is a SaaS financial management platform built specifically for TVDE operators in Portugal. The main features are:
- Automatic import of Uber and Bolt CSVs — no copying, no pasting
- Financial dashboard per vehicle — real revenue, expenses and margin in real time
- VAT module — business volume tracking with alerts at 60%, 80% and 100% of the €15,500 threshold
- Driver management — automatic payment calculations and an app for drivers to see their earnings
- Reports for accountants — quarterly summaries ready to send to your accountant
The result: operators go from hours of administrative work per week to less than 10 minutes. And for the first time they know exactly how their business is doing.
