Trusted by fleets across West Africa
Two hardware-agnostic platforms. One sells direct, the other through integrators.
Wialon (Gurtam) is a global telematics platform with 3M+ tracked vehicles, sold exclusively through a network of integrator-partners that handle billing, onboarding, and support. Traxelio offers the same hardware-agnostic GPS approach but with direct self-serve signup, transparent monthly pricing, and no integrator middleman.
