Secret warehouse of spare parts

Mikhail, a mechanic with many years of experience, was a real star of the fleet. He was known as a man who could bring even the oldest cars back to life. It seemed that Mikhail worked for the idea, always finding ways to reduce the company’s repair costs. However, behind the mask of the “hero” was a cunning plan.

In recent months, management had been receiving complaints from drivers: after repairs, the cars were working worse than usual, and spare parts seemed to wear out faster. However, the financial statements showed nothing suspicious. All expenses looked logical. What was the problem?

How it all worked

Mikhail set up a “gray scheme” for replacing spare parts. When a vehicle was repaired, he ordered parts, claiming that the old ones were already worn out. But instead of installing new parts, Mikhail replaced them with refurbished or used ones, which he stored in his “secret warehouse.” And he kept the new parts for himself and later sold them through acquaintances.

Thanks to his authority, Mikhail remained above suspicion. The management trusted him without delving into the details of his work, and his colleagues considered him too experienced to make mistakes.

Exposure

However, one day, the driver of a new car complained that after repairs, his truck started behaving strangely. The management decided to establish control via the Waliot platform. The system showed that after each repair, the performance of engines and other vehicle systems worsened. Moreover, the analysis revealed that most of the parts that should have been replaced were actually old.

When Mikhail was presented with the data and an internal investigation was conducted, his “warehouse” of spare parts was discovered. The warehouse contained parts that had been ordered for the company’s cars but were never installed.

Consequences

Mikhail was fired, and the company revised the entire repair and parts accounting process. Now, with Waliot, every action related to repair is recorded: order, installation, and compliance check. Sensors and telemetry allow you to track the condition of each part, which means that such fraud has become impossible.

Conclusion

Mikhail’s story shows how technology can not only optimize the operation of a fleet, but also protect a company from internal threats. The Waliot platform has become a real shield for business, eliminating any attempts at fraud.
