Double route

Alexey, an experienced driver and seemingly dedicated to his job, drove the most fuel-efficient van in the fleet. However, the company’s finance department noticed a strange anomaly: despite officially approved routes, Alexey’s vehicle’s mileage for some reason consistently exceeded the planned mileage by 20-30%. At the same time, more fuel was consumed than necessary, and cargo delivery deadlines were periodically missed.

Everything pointed to the human factor, but Alexey, as always, was unperturbed and assured that he was simply following the route according to instructions. To verify his words, the management decided to connect the  Waliot fleet management platform  for detailed monitoring.

How the scheme was revealed

Already in the first week of observations, telemetry revealed something surprising: instead of one direct route, Alexey stopped at a small industrial zone, making a circle several kilometers long. These stops were not indicated in the tasks. Moreover, fuel analysis showed that at these points there was a strange “drain” of fuel, which Alexey could not explain.

After a more thorough analysis of the data, it became clear: Alexey earned extra money by transporting goods for private customers. In doing so, he used the company’s fuel, “refueling” on unaccounted flights. Each such “left route” added kilometers, and Alexey’s clients had to pay for services that were essentially carried out at the company’s expense.

Exposure and consequences

The company’s management called Alexey in for a talk, presenting precise data from the  Waliot system . The program not only recorded actual routes with details of each stop, but also showed how much fuel was used and where unjustified deviations occurred. Alexey was forced to admit his guilt.

The company not only fired the driver, but also changed its route control policy. Now the  Waliot platform  has become a mandatory tool for all vehicles, allowing real-time monitoring of the precise execution of tasks.

Monitoring vehicles using the  Waliot system  not only reduces costs, but also eliminates fraud that can cause significant damage to business. Thanks to accurate data on routes, mileage and fuel consumption, the platform helps to promptly identify deviations and prevent them. The use of GPS/GLONASS satellite monitoring technologies is not only savings, but also the safety of your business. Find out how  Waliot  can protect your fleet and ensure transparency of work.
