Who is Marbela?
founded · RJ
license plates in the operation
tires in the fleet
Founded in 1987, the Marbela carrier has operated as an Ambev beverage distributor for more than 30 years. With headquarters in São Pedro da Aldeia, RJ, and a branch office in Rio das Ostras, it operates in around 10 municipalities with more than 5 thousand business partners.
The company distributes beverages from major names such as Brahma, Skol and Spaten. With 76 license plates in the operation and more than 1.2 thousand tires in the fleet, precise tire control is a key element of the distributor's operating margin.
From challenge to result
The challenges faced by the Marbela operation
Prevent premature tire disposal
Follow tire pressure and tread depth
Gain greater speed and control of fleet tires
How Prolog was implemented at Marbela
Marbela acquired Prolog's tire management solution, combining an electronic tread probe kit with complete control software. With the tread probe, inspection time can be halved.
Tire management
With the electronic tread probe, Marbela began collecting pressure and tread depth data much more easily. The process makes it possible to bring forward preventive retreading and prevents premature tire loss, ensuring tires complete their useful life cycle.

Why this case study became a benchmark
Real challenges. Solution implemented. Verifiable metrics. Manager testimonial.
−47.8% tire disposal
From 34 to 23 tires discarded per quarter — the result of preventive retreading identified through accurate data from Prolog's electronic tread probe..
Preventive retreading maximized
With frequent pressure and tread depth data, Marbela began identifying the ideal time for retreading — preventing premature disposal and maximizing each tire's useful life..
Inspection in half the time
The electronic tread probe halves inspection time, making the weekly calibration and monthly tread depth routine feasible and accurate across the fleet..
3 benefits in one: productivity, control and costs
Paulo summed up Prolog in three words: productivity, efficient control and cost reduction.

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.
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.
