Case Study: LLC BTA achieves multibrand refrigerated fleet control, automated cold‑chain monitoring and 18% fuel savings with Gurtam (Wialon Hosting)

Managing the multibrand refrigerated trucks fleet in Russia

LLC BTA, a St. Petersburg long‑haul transport company handling refrigerated loads for major Russian retailers and manufacturers, needed better control of multibrand refrigerated trailers, temperature compliance, fleet health, and fuel consumption—beyond the basic vehicle location tracking they had been using. They chose Gurtam’s Wialon Hosting platform (implemented by Gurtam’s partner) to expand monitoring and analytics across newly acquired vehicles, some of which had supplier‑preinstalled telematics.

Gurtam’s solution—deployed via partner Quarta Technologies with iQFreeze hardware, Technokom fuel sensors and Wialon modules—enabled temperature‑violation alerts, centralized online monitoring of mixed refrigeration equipment, remote fuel‑control and fuel‑card integration, and automated maintenance scheduling. The project cut fuel expenses by up to 18%, saved more than $17,600 by replacing built‑in temperature registrators, sped up operations through automation, and closed gaps like unauthorized fills and multibrand visibility, delivering measurable efficiency and loss‑prevention for LLC BTA.
