After receiving the advance payment, you are assigned a personal manager who understands your industry and who accompanies the installation process. Next, a convenient date and place for installation are agreed upon , after which a certified specialist from the First Monitoring Company installs the equipment, checks the connections, seals them with branded seals and records the work in the work order . The final stage is connecting to the Waliot system, demonstrating the functionality and explaining the operating principles.

We guarantee high-quality installation, professional support and full control over your fleet in real time.

Yes, this option is provided. Waliot supports the connection of third-party equipment , but it is important that it meets the technical requirements of the system. If you already have a monitoring system installed, but you are not satisfied with its operation, you can switch to Waliot service .

In this case, our specialists conduct an examination of the on-board unit : if the device is included in the list of compatible equipment , we perform its reflashing and integration free of charge . If the equipment is not on the list of supported devices, we take it for testing (usually the period does not exceed two weeks). After a successful test, the device connects to Waliot , providing you with full-fledged vehicle monitoring without the need to replace the equipment.

When choosing equipment for transport monitoring, it is important to consider the accuracy of positioning and stability of operation in various conditions. Modern on-board units from Russian manufacturers have a similar level of quality, but differ in navigation accuracy. GPS modules have an error of 6-8 meters , which is quite sufficient for most monitoring tasks.

However, combined GLONASS|GPS devices provide more accurate positioning with an error of 2–4 meters , as they use signals from two satellite systems at once. This is especially important for work in dense urban areas, tunnels, and places with a weak signal. The choice depends on the specific needs of the business, but for maximum accuracy and reliability of the vehicle fleet, it is recommended to use GLONASS|GPS equipment.

The implementation of the GLONASS system allows for a significant reduction in vehicle fleet operating costs by optimizing routes, monitoring fuel consumption, and improving driver discipline.

Over more than 15 years of the company’s operation, the average savings amounted to 27.3% , with the minimum savings rate reaching 9.7% and the maximum – 44.9% . Due to the high efficiency of the system, its average payback period is only 37 days , which makes Waliot one of the most cost-effective solutions for transport management and cost reduction.

The Waliot vehicle monitoring system provides a wide range of benefits, significantly increasing the efficiency of fleet management . The subscription fee includes route optimization and mileage reduction , which leads to lower fuel and operating costs . Thanks to speed control and prompt detection of emergency situations , the system increases the level of driving safety .

Automated data analysis helps increase fleet productivity , ensuring prompt response to emergency situations and their prevention . The system can be accessed via a web interface , mobile applications for AppStore, RuStore, Google Play and PWA technology , which allows users to receive notifications, reports and data visualization on a PC, smartphone or tablet in real time.

If the GSM signal is lost during the monitoring process , the Waliot system will continue to save the vehicle location data to the internal non-volatile memory of the device. This is especially relevant for the regions of Eurasia , where there may be areas with unstable coverage .

The developers of GLONASS equipment have provided for this scenario, ensuring reliable data storage for up to 40 days . As soon as the connection is restored, all accumulated information is automatically transferred to the monitoring server , which eliminates the loss of important data and allows you to maintain full control over the vehicle fleet even in conditions of temporary network absence.

If the satellite signal is lost , the Waliot system will continue to record data and provide vehicle monitoring with minimal errors. Satellite radio signals may be temporarily lost in tunnels, underground parking lots, under concrete floors and other places with limited access to the sky. External interference , such as the use of portable GPS jammers , deliberate damage to equipment or antennas, is also possible .

However, in most situations, including dense urban areas and metal garages , the signal is received in a reflected form , which can lead to only minor deviations in positioning. Thanks to backup data processing algorithms , the system minimizes the impact of short-term signal loss, ensuring monitoring stability and data security.

In conditions of active use of electronic warfare (EW) systems capable of temporarily distorting or blocking satellite navigation signals , the Waliot system provides stable monitoring of transport using several technological solutions.

Firstly, a method of identifying zones of influence of electronic warfare is used , which allows for the automatic elimination of distorted data, which minimizes the impact of interference and maintains high accuracy of the run.

Secondly, the system integrates with on-board sensors , including fuel consumption and mileage monitoring via the CAN bus , which allows monitoring vehicle activity even when the satellite signal is temporarily lost . With these technologies, Waliot strives to ensure the continuity of the monitoring system , ensuring reliable control over the vehicle fleet even in difficult conditions.

Thus, Waliot guarantees maximum data protection and monitoring accuracy , eliminating the possibility of fraud. Moreover, our website contains a collection of real cases demonstrating how the system helps to prevent fraud attempts and reduce risks for business.

Yes, such a possibility exists, however, using the remote engine blocking function has certain legal and technical nuances .

Technologically, the monitoring system can remotely shut down the engine , but only if safety precautions are met – for example, when the vehicle is at rest to avoid emergency situations.

From a legal point of view , professional lawyers point out that forced remote engine shutdown can have serious consequences, especially in the case of third party use of the vehicle or in the absence of the driver’s express consent. Therefore, before implementing such a function, it is recommended to obtain advice to ensure that the procedure complies with current regulations.

If you have any questions about the implementation of this option, please contact us – our specialists will help you understand all the nuances and choose the safest and most legal solution for your vehicle fleet.
