Wialon is a platform for GPS tracking and IoT, which allows users to track mobile and stationary units (vehicles, machinery, buildings, mobile personnel, pets, etc.)[1] in 130+ countries worldwide. It is developed by the private Belarusian company Gurtam headquartered in Minsk. The platform is distributed through the network of satellite monitoring systems integrators.
Wialon partner network consists of 2,300+ companies that provide complex satellite transport monitoring services.
In November 2016, the millionth vehicle was connected to Wialon; in May 2019, there were 2 million vehicles[2], and in July 2020 – 2,5 million[3]. In January 2022, there were more then 3 million vehicles.
In 2020, Berg Insight research agency announced Wialon[4] to be the leading fleet tracking and management system in Eastern Europe, CIS countries, and Russia[5].
Functionality
- Tracking of the unit’s location and its movement on the map;
- Monitoring of unit’s parameters such as speed, fuel level, temperature, etc.;
- The unit management (command execution, automatic task execution) and driver behavior control (SMS, calls, assignments);
- Receiving notifications on the unit’s activity;
- Tracking of the unit’s movement along the defined route;
- Report generation (tables, graphs) based on the information received from a unit;
- Customizable interface and user access;
- Retroactive geofencing;
- Driver scorecard
The platform receives all the data from sensors installed in the monitored unit, processes it, and presents it in the form of reports and graphs. The data obtained can also be exported to files of various formats.
Wialon is distributed in two formats:
- Software as a service (SaaS) – Wialon Hosting installed in the Wialon server center
- Server-based software with modular structure – Wialon Local for installation on the client’s server
In addition to the desktop version, there is a Wialon mobile application for iOS and Android.
