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.

Honest Assessment
We believe in transparent comparisons. Here are the scenarios where Wialon has a real edge.
Established platform with 3M+ vehicles tracked globally and 14+ years of operation.
Larger compatible-tracker list (1,800+) than Traxelio (1,500+).
Modular feature set: integrators can bundle apps and add-ons specific to a region.
If none of these apply to your fleet, Traxelio keeps pricing and setup terms transparent, so the tradeoff is easier to evaluate.
Get a setup planAnalysis
The useful differences show up in cost, hardware, setup time, and whether ELD compliance matters for your fleet.
Direct billing: one invoice from Traxelio. No integrator markup.
Self-serve onboarding without finding a regional partner first.
Direct platform support via WhatsApp, no escalation chain through an integrator.
Month-to-month with no minimum and no per-integrator contract variance.
Kill switch and immobilizer included on every plan for instant theft response.
Dashcam included, ready in the store.
No direct billing or self-serve. Must find an integrator first.
Support quality varies wildly by integrator region.
Pricing is opaque: rates set by integrators, no public per-vehicle list price.
Adding new app modules often requires re-engaging the integrator with a quote process.
Adding new app modules typically triggers a fresh quote and re-engagement with your integrator.

Migration
Complexity: Medium
Move the fleet data first.
Export the data, check the hardware, then set up the team before canceling the old contract.
Step 1
Export your fleet data
Download your vehicle list, driver roster, and historical reports from Wialon before canceling.
Step 2
Check hardware compatibility
Traxelio supports 1,500+ GPS tracker models. Your existing devices may work as-is. If not, order a compatible Traxelio tracker during setup; hardware is separate from the monthly plan.
Step 3
Test Traxelio for 28 days
Your first month is free. Add your vehicles and trackers to verify everything works before canceling your existing plan.
Step 4
Migrate your team
Invite drivers and managers, configure alerts and geo-zones, and replicate your existing workflows in the Traxelio dashboard.
Step 5
Cancel your old subscription
Once your team is set up and vehicles are reporting in Traxelio, cancel your Wialon account. Check your contract terms for notice periods.
