Lithuanian software developer Gurtam has reached a record number of four million vehicles connected on its Wialon platform, in 160 countries.

The fleet management and IoT platform is now one of the largest fleet management, GPS tracking and IoT software platforms worldwide by number of connected vehicles.

The software platform helps connect, track and monitor vehicles and assets ranging from HGVs and LCVs to public buses, agricultural vehicles and equipment, construction vehicles and equipment, energy generators, fuel tanks, waste management trucks and so on. The software is deployed across varied industries, ranging from logistics and transportation, to agriculture, construction, energy and waste management. 

“Fleet management is of the utmost importance to businesses, as it is the backbone of operational success,” said Aliaksandr Kuushynau, head of Wialon. “Year on year we are seeing increased adoption of telematics, and a higher emphasis on safety and data analytics, supporting efficiency and sustainability in fleet operations.”

GotYou Telematics (gotyou.co.za), the company that deployed the landmark four millionth vehicle connection, has been a Wialon partner since 2017. Headquartered in South Africa, it is a provider and integrator of security services for fleet management, helping clients across various industries manage and protect their transport and assets.

“We were excited to begin our partnership with Wialon in 2017 and, since then, we’ve never looked back,” said Aldo Gerber, CEO of GotYou Telematics.” The sky’s the limit if you know how to use the platform’s wide functionality to drive your clients’ success. Today, we are delighted to be part of the international Wialon family and to have connected the four millionth vehicle to the platform. It’s an amazing feeling to contribute to such an impressive achievement, marking Wialon’s global leadership in fleet management software.”

Wialon provides fleet management software through a network of over 2700 channel partners in more than 160 countries. Most Wialon partners are SMEs, and Wialon aims to equip them with technology so they can compete in local markets. By leveraging Wialon’s technology and multiple integration options – with over 3500 device models for data capture and GPS tracking – these companies can launch, run and develop their businesses without the need for extensive development investments, saving time and resources.

This allows small and medium fleet operators to access technology that is usually seen in larger businesses, levelling the playing field and enhancing their operational capabilities. 

Over more than two decades since being founded in 2001, Wialon has developed a suite of fleet management software that has flexibility and versatility at its core: vehicle-agnostic, sensor and device-agnostic, easily scalable for small and large fleets, who can track their operations in one unified platform. The software suite is used for fleets ranging from under 50 vehicles to those with more than 1000 connected vehicles.

“We still remember the excitement of reaching our first 400,000 vehicles back in 2015,” said Kuushynau. “It took us nine years to add three more zeros to this number. Starting small and dreaming big, who could have imagined how far we would come? As we move to our next milestones, we are committed to enhancing our services to help the Wialon partner community grow and thrive. We know this will be an exciting journey.”

Wialon (wialon.com) is one of the largest IoT, telematics and fleet management software platforms worldwide. Wialon was developed by Gurtam (gurtam.com), a GPS tracking and IoT developer with headquarters in Vilnius and offices in Boston, Dubai and Tbilisi.
