Who is Grupo Horizonte?
years in the market
license plates in the fleet
tires in the fleet
The Grupo Horizonte carrier has been in the market for more than 20 years, operating on various fronts around the country, such as road freight transport, urban distribution and logistics support.
For this, its fleet includes various types of vehicles — more than 1,300 license plates and a tire count exceeding 18 thousand. A large operation that requires strict control and reliable data for every fleet manager decision.
From challenge to result
The challenges faced by Grupo Horizonte
Considerable manual rework
Lack of data analysis
Organization and productivity in fleet management
How Prolog was implemented at Grupo Horizonte
Until 2019, the carrier still had no software dedicated to tire management. All inspections were performed on paper. Prolog resolved Grupo Horizonte's difficulties by automating data collection and optimizing information management.
Tire management
Electronic tread probe for fast, accurate inspection, with complete software to automate data collection. It makes it possible to identify wear types, cost per kilometer traveled and the most efficient tires for each stage of the operation.

From paper to digital in 2019 — rework eliminated, data accessible immediately after each inspection.
Why this case study became a benchmark
Real challenges. Solution implemented. Verifiable metrics. Manager testimonial.
+1 million inspections in 3 years
An unprecedented volume among carriers of Grupo Horizonte's size.
From paper to digital in 2019
Before Prolog, all management was performed on paper and transferred manually to spreadsheets.
+80 thousand documented services
Each tire service performed — replacement, retreading, transfer — recorded and traceable in the system.
Scales to +1,300 license plates
With more than 18 thousand tires to manage, Grupo Horizonte needed a system that could scale with the fleet.

Prolog is an innovative tool in the fleet management sector. Today we have precise control over the wear, upkeep and condition of the tires in our fleet.
Conlog faced frequent tire losses, slow work order resolution and high fuel consumption. With Prolog, it began performing 5x more inspections, reducing the rate of tires with anomalies to 0.3% — and tire losses were eliminated.
With tires at their ideal calibration, average km/l increased, reducing fuel costs and improving the performance margin in purchasing management.
Prolog is an excellent app for anyone who wants to combine management with cost reduction.
Translecchi, with around 590 license plates and more than 7,900 tires, could not keep track of relocations, tread depth and wear through its traditional ERP.
Almost 2 years after implementing Prolog, the company already has more than 14 thousand tires inspected, 20 thousand services completed and 4 thousand tires managed through responsible disposal.
Prolog has made our lives much easier in 3 areas. Productivity, efficient control and cost reduction!
Marbela had difficulty following tread depth measurements and ideal calibration. Manual tasks made the routine tiring and generated low-precision results.
With Prolog's electronic tread probe, the company reduced tire disposal by 47.8% in a few months, bringing forward preventive retreading and avoiding premature asset loss.
An incredible tool, with an enormous productivity gain in tire-related processes.
Cobeb faced premature tire wear, a lack of checklist digitization and frequent retreading rejections. Data generated by Prolog completely changed tire organization and purchasing.
Retreading rejections were halved, and fuel consumption fell by 2% from the start of system use.
The tool offers excellent value for money, has several reports for analysis and decision-making, and is entirely online and easy to access.
In 3 years of using Prolog, T2P significantly improved the accuracy of pressure and tread depth inspections and gained greater team productivity.
The company reduced retreading rejections by 1/3, retreads more tires, makes fewer purchases and scores another point for fleet savings.
A good solution for fleet maintenance control; it delivers good results.
Klabin faced issues controlling corrective maintenance and identifying vehicles with recurring issues. Prolog's electronic checklist resolved them with inspection scheduling and immediate access to inspection results.
With the system, the company began preventing trucks with critical items from departing for trips, increasing safety. More than 22 thousand completed checklists and 3.2 thousand completed WOs.
An excellent tool for tire management and checklists. We can measure team productivity and take targeted action on gaps, bringing paper use to almost zero.
Ghisolfi had difficulty with tire management and maintenance, with excessive paper use and work orders getting lost. Using Prolog since 2019, tires began gaining an extra life through retreading.
In around 3 years, the company validated the best tire models by durability and performance, with more than 146 thousand inspections performed.
Previously we collected tread depth measurements manually. Now, with automated collection, everything collected goes directly into the system and we can evaluate it quickly.
Brasul Ltda had difficulty following tire relocations and speeding up routine management processes. After Prolog was introduced in 2020, process automation brought immediate improvements.
With the electronic tread probe kit, tire inspection became 136% faster. Data is sent automatically to the dashboard, with more than 3.3 thousand tire services recorded.
Helpful service, willingness to improve the fleet and a report for analysis and corrections.
Master Express had difficulty identifying drivers in checklists and lacked visibility into vehicle health. In just one year with Prolog, the company saw positive responses.
The electronic checklist with a digital signature provided legal certainty and fast identification of the person responsible, ensuring that unfit vehicles were held back at the depot.
We gained productivity through the digitization of data. Today, we can quickly break down tire control data and checklist compliance on the road.
Rodalog started with 618 vehicles registered in 2018, seeking to resolve issues with visibility into truck condition and productivity in data collection.
The "Checklist Traffic Light" began to show a summary of all license plates and the condition of each one. Over years of use: more than 230 thousand checklists and 72 thousand WOs completed.
Since we discovered Prolog, our management has become much more efficient and accurate, with much faster decision-making — and today we can no longer imagine ourselves without this tool.
Avilan struggled with paper-based management and work orders lost as information was passed along. Soon after implementing Prolog, the carrier saw the payoff.
With the inspection kit and data control software, the process became 136% more efficient. The tool brought productivity, savings, organization and standardization to all tire management.
The accuracy of the information and the reading speed of our ERP system changed the speed and reliability of wheel-and-tire assembly diagnoses.
Ilha Norte's main challenge was slow analysis and frequent tread depth and pressure measurement errors, generating incorrect ERP data.
The electronic tread probe brought measurement precision, and API integration updated data automatically, making diagnosis processes more efficient and safer.
Today we have an army of people looking at the condition of the fleet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Four years after implementing Prolog, DMC Revenda reports a strong impact across several areas. Semi-automated collection sent data directly into the system, eliminating manual entries.
