Wialon, one of the world’s leading fleet management software platforms, has revealed its top partners providing telematics services across the world and outlined the changing face of fleet demand.

Wialon continues to see steady growth across all regions

The platform, which hit the landmark of four million connected vehicles in July 2024, continues to see steady growth across all regions but has reported a rapid increase in new vehicle connections in the Middle East, Africa and North America, each seeing a 14% rise over the past year.

Wialon offers solutions for fleet tracking, fuel management, video telematics and more, to help companies digitalise and streamline their fleet operations.

The platform works with more than 2,700 partner companies in 160 countries, which serve fleets in various industries, processing more than five billion data points daily.

Europe: Ukraine delivers highest growth for Wialon connections

Wialon’s strongest growth in 2024 was in Eastern and Central Europe, where demand centres around tachographs and logistics, with companies looking for functional yet affordable tools to meet regulatory requirements and optimise fleet management. Meanwhile, demand in Western and Northern Europe was driven by safety and regulatory compliance and focused on features like video telematics and driver behaviour analysis.

Six out of Wialon’s top 10 European partners in 2024 are from Ukraine, with partners in Belgium, France, Lithuania and Spain completing the top 10.

Aliaksandr Kuushynau, head of the Wialon division at Gurtam, said: “Despite ongoing challenges, partners in Ukraine continue to connect new vehicles to the Wialon at an exceptional pace, exceeding growth in other European countries.

“What’s particularly impressive is how service providers in Ukraine collaborate closely, offering mutual support and building resilience as a community.”

Africa: Fleet digitalisation and cargo security fuel demand for telematics solutions

The telematics market in Africa is advancing fast, fuelled by rising demand for fleet digitalisation and cargo security solutions in industries such as mining, construction, logistics and agriculture. Companies are increasingly prioritising features like real-time monitoring, geofencing, driver behaviour tracking and fuel control.

Wialon’s partner network in Africa spans the entire continent, with top 10 partners companies based in Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Algeria and South Africa.

Asia Pacific: Wide telematics adoption across high margin industries

With unique geographic, economic and regulatory conditions, market fragmentation shapes telematics challenges and opportunities in the APAC region.

In Australia, for example, Wialon is used mainly in high-margin industries, such as long-haul transportation, mining, construction and forestry. Businesses here rely on advanced fleet management, particularly as the 3G shutdown drives infrastructure upgrades to enhance the capacity, speed and reliability of 4G and 5G networks. Meanwhile, the highly competitive Indian market sees Wialon’s fuel monitoring solution as a standout feature.

Wialon’s top 10 partners in the region in 2024 were based in India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Middle East: Technology and infrastructure investments lead to rise in demand for telematics

With a strong focus on innovation and technology, the Middle East is making rapid advances in fleet digitalisation, with telematics solutions widely adopted across the vehicle rental, oil and construction industries. A notable trend is governmental support for the shift to electric vehicles, backed by incentives and infrastructure investments. Another critical factor is the growing use of AI and big data in the region, driving a race for fleet digitalisation.

Wialon partners from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon were the most prolific in installing connections to the Wialon platform in 2024.

North America: Vehicle safety, driver assistance systems and EV transition drive growth 

With over 600,000 vehicles connected to Wialon in North America, this region is Wialon’s third-largest market, with a strong presence in Mexico and growing footprint in the USA.

In Mexico, Wialon partners provide fleet management solutions to thousands of companies across various industries, including delivery services, security, long-distance transport and cold-chain logistics.

With vehicle safety and vehicle theft a major concern in the region, Wialon’s theft prevention features are a key growth driver.

In the US, fleet owners are adopting AI, electric vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems to boost efficiency.

Additionally, strict regulations governing drivers’ hours of service and CO2 emissions have generated growing demand for solutions that help company fleets stay competitive and compliant.

South America: Usage-based insurance is rising trend 

South America’s telematics market is experiencing steady growth, creating opportunities for telematics service providers both in mature and in emerging markets on the continent. Logistics, transportation and agriculture are key sectors served by Wialon partners in the region. Top 10 Wialon partners in South America were based in Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina and Paraguay.

Growth was driven by a variety of factors. In Peru, all vehicles in the road transport and distribution industry must report their GPS location to the monitoring and management centre. In Colombia, one of the emerging trends is insurance telematics. Brazil boasts the biggest Wialon partner network. However, Chile has the highest number of vehicles connected to Wialon in South America – more than 55,000.

Central Asia: Sustained momentum with SMEs 

Central Asia is an important region in Wialon’s geography, where fleet digitalisation is gaining ground amongst small and medium businesses. Regional partners embed Wialon’s software solutions to support clients with use cases as diverse as cotton production plant management, or vessel monitoring solutions.

Partners from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan make up the top 10 Wialon partners in 2024.

Commenting on the findings for the 2024 top 10 partners rankings, Aliaksandr Kuushynau said: “Wialon’s Top 10 Partners ranking reflects our global presence, and our focus on developing telematics software solutions easily scalable for both small and large fleets.”

He added: “As fleets across the world navigate rapid technology advances and increasingly varied local and national regulations, our partners are having to respond and anticipate client requirements for ever-greater flexibility and customisation.

“At Wialon, by providing a fleet management platform that’s easy to access and deploy, we empowered thousands of independent fleet and telematics service providers to offer fleet owners advanced fleet digitalisation applications, across sectors and countries.

“Our partners are using our software platform to sharpen their own competitive edge in their markets and we’re honoured to support this dynamic ecosystem of global telematics players.”
