The Challenge
A large transportation B2B company from Colombia was facing issues with controlling the passenger flow consisting of 2500 employees, who use 70 buses. The client did not know the exact number of passengers for each ride, and the company did not want to pay for those who were supposed to take a bus but didn’t. The boarding process was slow and inefficient because drivers recorded the number of passengers manually. There were inaccuracies in their notes, which resulted in payment errors and financial losses for the client.
About The Customer
The customer is a large B2B transportation company based in Colombia. The company provides transportation services to a large number of clients, with a significant portion of their operations involving the transportation of employees. The company operates a fleet of 70 buses, which are used to transport a total of 2500 employees. The company was facing challenges in managing the passenger flow and ensuring efficient boarding processes. The company was also struggling with inaccuracies in manual record-keeping, which was leading to payment errors and financial losses.
The Solution
GPS Control, a partner of Gurtam, developed a complex solution using the opportunities of telematics, and applied the following components to the project: Wialon + RFID tags + GPS trackers. Each of the 2500 employees received an RFID tag, and the buses were equipped with RFID readers connected to trackers. The RFID codes of all employees were uploaded to Wialon – Gurtam developers wrote a special script for this purpose. The information received from the trackers is sent to the system. There, with the help of the Passengers module, it is processed and sent to the managers in the form of reports. GPS Control automated the process by configuring the Jobs module to send the information on a weekly basis. Reports help to make decisions about canceling, adding, or changing the routes.
Operational Impact
  • Customer expenses were reduced, as the company pays only for those people who actually got on a bus.
  • The boarding process became faster and more efficient thanks to employee identification and info registration.
  • Reports help to make decisions about canceling, adding or changing routes.
