How Prolog was implemented at Avilan

Avilan struggled with traditional paper-based management: many work orders, notes and documents made management difficult and caused tasks to get lost. When the company discovered Prolog, it did not hesitate to implement both modules in the fleet.

// main module

Tire management

Electronic tire inspection kit and data control software — a process that is up to 136% more efficient than traditional models. Together with Electronic checklist, it generates automatic work orders for each nonconformity and eliminates all paper from the operation.

frequently asked questions

Questions about the Avilan Case Study

What is the Avilan Case Study?
The Avilan Case Study documents how Avilan Transportes, a freight carrier with more than 30 years in operation, 7 branch offices in Brazil, 300 active vehicles and more than 850 employees, transformed fleet management with the Prolog platform. The company used the Tire management and Electronic checklist modules, achieving 136% higher inspection efficiency, 7 operations in the system and the elimination of 2 metric tons of paper per month.
What results did Avilan achieve with Prolog?
Avilan achieved three main results with Prolog: 136% higher tire inspection efficiency compared with traditional models, 7 operations integrated into the system and a reduction of 2 metric tons of paper saved per month. Work orders also began to be generated automatically for each nonconformity recorded in the electronic checklist.
Which Prolog modules does Avilan use?
Avilan uses two Prolog modules: Tire management and Electronic checklist. Tire management includes the electronic tire inspection kit and software for controlling pressure and tread depth data. Electronic checklist allows inspections to be customized for each vehicle and automatically generates work orders when a nonconformity is identified.
What challenges did Avilan face before Prolog?
Before Prolog, Avilan faced three main challenges: improving management of electronic checklists that were completed on paper, increasing visibility of issues reported in inspections and speeding up departure processes for routes. As Jerônimo described it: "For quite some time, we struggled a lot with tire management. It was very manual, with a lot of paper."
What did Jerônimo say about Prolog at Avilan?
Jerônimo, a manager at Avilan, gave two main testimonials about Prolog. The first: "The tool came to revolutionize our company, and that led to a significant reduction in our tire expenses." The second: "Since we discovered the Prolog tool, we switched to this management model. Our management became much more efficient, much more accurate, with much faster decision-making, and today we can no longer imagine ourselves without this tool."
How does Electronic checklist affect management at Avilan?
Prolog Electronic checklist affected Avilan's management in three ways: it enabled checklists to be customized to the needs of each vehicle in the fleet, generated automatic reports from data entered into the system and began generating work orders automatically when an inspection indicated a nonconformity. The result was the elimination of 2 metric tons of paper per month.
How does Tire management work at Avilan?
Prolog Tire management works at Avilan through the electronic tire inspection kit and data control software. The process makes inspections 136% more efficient than traditional models. Tire pressure and tread depth data are collected electronically, stored in the system and provide complete daily, weekly or monthly reports, eliminating manual paper-based collection.
What is efficient fleet management for carriers?
Efficient fleet management for carriers is the ability to control tires, maintenance, checklists and routes with less rework and more reliable data. In the Avilan case study, efficiency meant replacing manual paper-based processes with a digital system that brought 136% faster tire inspections, automatic work orders and accurate reports.
How can freight transport companies reduce tire costs?
Reducing tire costs in freight transport companies requires systematic control of pressure, tread depth and each tire's history. The Avilan case study demonstrates that structured management with Prolog generated a significant reduction in tire spending, as Jerônimo stated: "The tool came to revolutionize our company, and that led to a significant reduction in our tire expenses."
What is digital transformation in carriers?
Digital transformation in carriers means replacing manual processes, such as paper checklists and physical notes, with digital systems that automatically collect, organize and analyze operational data. At Avilan, digitization eliminated 2 metric tons of paper per month, automated work order generation and made tire inspections 136% more efficient.
How did Avilan use Prolog across 7 operations?
Avilan integrated Prolog across its 7 branch offices in Brazil, standardizing tire management and electronic checklist processes throughout the operation. With a centralized platform, managers began to view the inspection schedule, collect pressure and tread depth data at each branch office and generate consolidated reports regardless of the branch office, creating unified fleet management on a national scale.
How can the Avilan model be applied to other carriers?
Lessons from the Avilan case study apply to any carrier with its own fleet: digitize inspection checklists (eliminating paper), configure customized checklists for each vehicle type, automate work order generation for nonconformities and implement electronic tire management with pressure and tread depth inspections. Companies with fleets of 50 to 300 vehicles have the potential to achieve results similar to Avilan's.
