"Wialon has already outgrown tracking services in the usual sense.

ComNews clarified the situation on condition of anonymity in a company that is one of the top 3 Wialon integrator partners. "After leaving Russia - European branches are now in Lithuania and Georgia - Gurtam was left with a network of large partners through which software comes to our country," the source told ComNews. "Small dealers had to switch to domestic solutions or join large structures. For them, the rise in software prices due to the exchange rate and complicated logistics turned out to be unaffordable."

The source says that Russian el salvador whatsapp number database alternatives, such as GLONASSsoft and Novitel, fully meet the basic needs of customers, such as vehicle tracking, simple logistics tasks, and monitoring one or two parameters in real time. But the market for complex solutions still retains Wialon. More than 5,000 manufacturers of equipment and applications for various types of activities are integrated into the system.
This is an extended specialized monitoring of business processes. For example, it can offer agrarians tools for soil analysis, automate part of the logistics. It interacts with 1C, with fuel cards. It makes it possible to connect several programs into a single ecosystem. Domestic developers do not yet have some of this functionality, although they promise to implement similar solutions. But the creators of Wialon are not sitting still either," says a representative of the integrator source.

Wialon can show the route on regular Yandex/Google maps, be controlled via WhatsApp, and track the smallest nuances of the route so that the driver drives exactly as the logistician intended.

"There is no alternative to Wialon for customers in Russia with serious requests today," says a specialist from an integrator company.

But it's not just about the quality of services. Russian companies are not against working with large customers directly, not allowing the integrator to earn money. There is also a strict policy towards customers. The St. Petersburg monitoring company "Autograph" "locked" its equipment to its own software. Now it is impossible to legally reconfigure it, and the customer will have to buy "hardware" again in case of changing the service provider. However, this happened before the start of the SVO.

But import substitution is breathing down our necks. "The government is allocating grants, which have given domestic producers a second wind," the source admitted. "The Skolkovo Innovation Center has proposed new software developments, and car factories have begun to pre-install equipment for satellite monitoring."

But after purchasing a vehicle, the client often looks for an opportunity to reconfigure it for Wialon.

"Since Gurtam left, it has been impossible to purchase the company's local solutions - servers plus software and services - in our country. Want Wialon? You're lucky if the servers were purchased before the SVO. Gurtam still supports and even expands such solutions. All other clients will have to buy Wialon virtual hosting. And here the government could potentially have questions, because the company's servers are located outside of Russia, which violates the law," a representative of another integrator providing both Russian solutions and Wialon services, who wished to remain anonymous, told ComNews. He said that the products of the departed vendor for new clients cost almost twice as much as domestic ones. "You have to pay more for servicing a piece of equipment. For example, monitoring one taxi using the Gurtam product costs 590 rubles per day, compared to about 400 rubles for domestic software. The integrator's old clients work at the same prices, which are almost not affected by the dollar exchange rate. Those wishing to purchase Wialon services for the first time must pay more and are deprived of guarantees if the state policy regarding foreign servers becomes stricter," said the integrator's representative.
