A what3words Case Study
Gurtam, the developer of the Wialon GPS fleet-management platform used in 120 countries, faced a common logistics challenge: reliably identifying and sharing precise locations in poorly addressed or remote areas. Traditional latitude/longitude coordinates are accurate but hard to communicate and prone to entry errors, which can cause delays, missed deliveries and added costs.
To solve this, Gurtam integrated what3words into Wialon’s Address and Routing tools, enabling simple, unique 3-word addresses that pinpoint 3×3 m squares worldwide. The result is more reliable, user-friendly addressing and routing across borders, reduced location-entry errors, and improved real-time tracking and on-time deliveries to exact entrances or drop-off points.
