Prolog software: what type of fleet it serves

If you have come this far, you probably already know Prolog or came across it while researching tire management, maintenance or fleet checklists. Now it is time to understand whether we will actually fit your operation.

Who Prolog was built for

Prolog was born within road freight transport. Since 2016, the product has been developed from the real issues of transport companies operating truck fleets.

If your transport company has a high volume of motor vehicles, a minimum maintenance structure and you feel the need to move from manual control or spreadsheets to a dedicated system, Prolog is for you.

Today, Prolog's solutions are present in over 1,500 operations in Brazil and abroad, most of them in road freight transport.

This is the segment the company knows in depth: the processes, indicators, operational pain points and language of those who live the fleet's day-to-day routine.

What Prolog's solutions are

Prolog works in areas that, together, help centralize control of tires, maintenance and vehicle inspections in a single system for truck fleets.

Tire Management: this is Prolog's most mature and recognized product. With it, you control the tire life cycle, keeping track of wear, retreading, cost per tire, periodic inspections and integrated digital measurements. It is the solution that established Prolog as a reference in Latin America.

Maintenance Management structures preventive planning by vehicle, organizes work orders by mileage or date, allows maintenance plans by vehicle type, controls costs and helps keep track of workshop indicators. The objective is to act preventively and reduce unplanned corrective maintenance and time vehicles spend idle in the yard.

And the Electronic Checklist is a tool that standardizes vehicle inspections with entries made directly on a mobile phone, including routines without internet access, converts anomalies into work orders automatically and provides traceability for each check performed by a person. It is the entry point for operational data and often the first solution the customer implements.

What “specializing in road freight transport” means in practice

Saying Prolog specializes in road freight transport is not a slogan. It is a way to reflect how the system works.

The features were designed for a transport company's actual workflow: tire control with traceability, retreading cycle management, digital measurements integrated into the system, preventive maintenance planning by vehicle, checklists that work offline on the tire technician's or driver's phone, automatic work orders from nonconformities and indicators to keep track of critical vehicles, recurring incidents and workshop productivity.

This differs from generic fleet management software that tries to cover all transport modes and all sizes.

Prolog does not provide vehicle tracking, is not a transport ERP and does not try to resolve logistics, route planning or freight management. It resolves fleet asset management (tires, maintenance and inspection) in the depth that a freight transport operation requires.

Other contexts where Prolog operates

Although road freight transport is the core territory, Prolog is also present in operations that share similar characteristics: heavy-vehicle fleets with tires as a significant cost item, an in-house maintenance structure and a need to control these assets.

This includes urban distribution, mining, agribusiness, construction and internal logistics operations at large industrial companies that have their own truck fleets. The common denominator is a sufficient volume of heavy vehicles to justify structured tire management, maintenance and inspections.

Internationally, Prolog serves operations in Brazil and abroad, always within the same profile: heavy-vehicle fleets needing control of tires, maintenance and inspections. That is why the operation's structure and the maturity of its maintenance process are more important than the country.

If your operation has trucks, tires as a significant cost and has (or should have) in-house tire shops and workshops, adopting Prolog probably makes sense.

How to know whether Prolog makes sense for your operation

If your operation has a truck fleet with significant tire costs, an in-house tire shop and workshop structure (or plans for one) and the feeling that manual control or spreadsheets no longer suffice, your profile is a good fit for Prolog's solutions.

In practice, the combination of tire management, preventive maintenance and an electronic checklist can help reduce waste, organize workshop priorities and lessen dependence on disconnected controls. Returns depend on implementation quality, disciplined use and the volume of assets the operation keeps track of.

It is an investment that tends to make more sense when adoption is done well and the operation uses data to make decisions. The next step is to see the software working with data from your reality: schedule a free demonstration with the Prolog team.
