frequently asked questions

Questions about the Translecchi Case Study

What is the Translecchi Case Study?
The Translecchi case study shows how a steel and beverage carrier in Southeastern Brazil, founded in 1989 and with ~590 license plates and more than 7,900 tires in its fleet, adopted Prolog's Tire management. Results: +14 thousand tires inspected, +20 thousand tire services completed and +4 thousand tires managed through responsible disposal in almost 2 years of use.
What results did Translecchi achieve with Prolog?
Almost 2 years after implementing Prolog, Translecchi accumulated: more than 14 thousand tires inspected, around 20 thousand tire services completed and 4 thousand tires managed through responsible disposal (after maximizing casing use). The company gained visibility into relocations, tread depth control and lower operating costs.
What is Translecchi?
Transportadora Translecchi LTDA has operated since 1989 and is one of the leading carriers for the steel and beverage transport sectors in Southeastern Brazil. It has around 590 license plates and more than 7,900 tires, making tire management a critical factor in cost reduction.
Which Prolog module does Translecchi use?
Translecchi uses Prolog's Tire management module, which includes an electronic tread probe for fast, accurate inspections and data control software. The system provides full visibility into relocations, tread depth control and service management to save fuel and increase tire useful life.
What did Guilherme from Translecchi say about Prolog?
"Prolog is an excellent app for anyone who wants to combine management with cost reduction." Guilherme also described the previous issue: "The process used to be handled through our ERP, but it was quite rigid and did not allow the tire technicians themselves to perform relocations." — Guilherme, Translecchi.
What was Translecchi's main issue before Prolog?
Translecchi had little or no visibility into tire relocations: it did not know which tires were installed, in inventory or being retreaded. It also lacked effective tread depth control, leading to high tire costs and an impact on other operating costs. The process ran through a rigid ERP that did not give tire technicians autonomy.
How did Prolog solve the tire visibility issue at Translecchi?
With the Tire management module, Translecchi gained full visibility into relocations: each tire's installation, inventory, retreading and disposal recorded in the system. The electronic tread probe standardized tread depth inspections, and tire technicians began performing relocations directly in the system — without depending on the ERP.
Is Prolog suitable for carriers in specialized sectors such as steel and beverages?
Yes. The Translecchi case study shows that Prolog adapts to carriers in specialized sectors. With ~590 license plates and 7,900 tires to manage in steel and beverage operations — which involve heavy loads and intensive routines — the system delivered visibility, wear control and lower operating costs.
What is responsible tire disposal in the context of Prolog?
Responsible disposal is a process in which a tire is discarded only after its casing has been used to the fullest. Prolog records the entire tire life cycle — from the first installation to the precise point when it can no longer be retreaded or reused. At Translecchi, this resulted in 4 thousand tires managed through that responsible limit.
How long does it take Translecchi to see results with Prolog?
Translecchi began recording results from the first weeks of use, with immediate visibility into tire relocations. In almost 2 years (less than 24 months), the company accumulated +14 thousand tires inspected, +20 thousand services and +4 thousand tires through responsible disposal — as well as greater autonomy for the tire technician team.
How did Prolog reduce operating costs at Translecchi?
Tread depth control made it possible to identify each tire's exact wear, avoiding premature replacements and disposal before the end of its useful life. Managing tire services — calibration, rotation and retreading at the right time — saved fuel and increased casing useful life. The result was lower operating costs with more than 20 thousand services managed.
Did Prolog replace Translecchi's ERP for tire management?
Yes, specifically for tire management. The previous ERP was rigid and did not allow the tire technicians themselves to perform relocations. Prolog complemented the ERP with a specialized tire module, giving the tire service team autonomy and the manager immediate visibility — without abandoning the ERP's other processes.
