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.

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.

frequently asked questions

Questions about the Grupo Horizonte Case Study

What is the Grupo Horizonte Case Study?
The Grupo Horizonte case study shows how a carrier with more than 20 years in the market, more than 1,300 license plates and 18 thousand tires in its fleet adopted Prolog Tire management and achieved +1 million tire inspections in 3 years, +80 thousand tire services performed and +3,910 tires managed through to disposal.
What results did Grupo Horizonte achieve with Prolog?
In 3 years of Prolog use, Grupo Horizonte performed +1 million tire inspections, around 80 thousand tire services and managed 3,910 tires through to disposal. Beyond the figures, the company eliminated manual rework, gained operational productivity and improved the fleet manager's decision-making.
What is Grupo Horizonte?
Grupo Horizonte is a carrier with more than 20 years in the market, operating in road freight transport, urban distribution and logistics support. Its fleet has more than 1,300 license plates and exceeds 18 thousand tires. Until 2019, all tire management was done on paper.
Which Prolog module does Grupo Horizonte use?
Grupo Horizonte uses Prolog Tire management, which includes the electronic tread probe for fast, accurate inspection and complete software to automate data collection. The system makes it possible to identify wear types, cost per kilometer traveled and the most efficient tires for each stage of the operation.
What did Marcílio from Grupo Horizonte say about Prolog?
"[Prolog] is an essential tool for fleet management." Marcílio also summarized the main difficulty before Prolog as "Manual rework and a lack of data analysis." — Marcílio, Grupo Horizonte.
What was tire management like at Grupo Horizonte before Prolog?
Before Prolog (until 2019), all tire management at Grupo Horizonte was done on paper. Inspections were manually transferred to control spreadsheets, generating considerable rework. With more than 1,300 license plates and 18 thousand tires, much important data went unnoticed because there was no centralized system.
How did Prolog eliminate rework at Grupo Horizonte?
With Prolog, tire inspection remains manual work performed by the operator, but data entry into the system is automatic with each new input from the electronic tread probe. All data is immediately accessible, and various reports are made available automatically, without having to build them manually.
What is Prolog's electronic tread probe?
Prolog's electronic tread probe is Bluetooth equipment that measures tire pressure and tread depth. Data is sent automatically to the system at each measurement, feeding wear reports, cost per km and disposal indicators. At Grupo Horizonte, this resulted in more than 1 million inspections recorded in 3 years.
How long has Grupo Horizonte used Prolog?
Grupo Horizonte adopted Prolog in 2019. In 3 years of use, the company accumulated more than 1 million tire inspections, around 80 thousand services and 3,910 tires managed through to disposal — one of the largest volumes among the case studies published by Prolog.
Is Prolog suitable for large carriers with more than 1,000 vehicles?
Yes. The Grupo Horizonte case study — with more than 1,300 license plates and 18 thousand tires — demonstrates that Prolog scales to large operations. The system centralizes data from the entire fleet, enabling the manager to access automatic reports and make data-driven decisions without building manual spreadsheets.
What was Grupo Horizonte's main challenge resolved by Prolog?
Three challenges were resolved: manual rework (paper inspections + transfer to spreadsheets), a lack of data analysis (much important data went unnoticed) and organization/productivity in fleet management. Prolog centralized everything in a system with automatic reports and immediately accessible data.
How did Prolog improve decision-making at Grupo Horizonte?
With Prolog, Grupo Horizonte's manager gained immediate access to pressure and tread depth data for every tire in the fleet, automatic wear reports and cost per km indicators. Previously, this information was assembled manually, when it was assembled at all — now decisions on when to replace or recover each tire are data-driven.

Conlog 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.
Sandro Klein Corporate Fleet Manager at Conlog
Conlog logo

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.
