“The breadth of functionality on offer to fleet managers has continued to grow in line with market demand over the past year, but what’s exciting for Wialon is how much software integration is improving access to these devices,” noted Denis Grebennikov, Head of Business Development Center, Wialon.
Wialon’s over 2,400 channel partners – telematics service providers and solutions developers – have used its platform and fleet management software solutions to deploy applications in a broad range of markets and sectors: transportation and mobility, logistics, delivery services, construction, agribusiness, water and waste management, public utilities, railway, mining and processing, and security.
Wialon has developed integrations with over 3,100 types of GPS tracking devices from 700 manufacturers, including personal trackers and software-based trackers installed as mobile apps on smartphones. Additionally, Wialon can process data received from after-market sensors (weight, humidity, light, temperature and many others), cameras, tachographs and various other types of GPS hardware and tracking devices.
“The data from the past year paints an interesting picture of transition, as fleet managers adopt devices to meet disparate local and national regulatory requirements,” said Aliaksandr Kuushynau, Head of Wialon. “In turn, the requirements for flexibility in the functionality of devices are becoming more complex, and a number of manufacturers are responding by offering significant customization options to their customers.”
“Wialon is proud to connect the players of this dynamic ecosystem of hardware manufacturers, fleet management solutions providers, and fleet managers at companies worldwide.”
