In the complex dynamics of any modern company, the search for innovation and efficiency is essential to stand out and prosper. In this scenario, LongPing High-Tech emerges as an inspiring example of how track speed monitoring can transform not only operation, but also the very DNA of an organization.
Recognized as a leader in the agro-industrial sector, the company was faced with challenges inherent to fleet management and found itself faced with the need to improve its operational efficiency, reduce costs and, above all, ensure the safety of its drivers.
It was in this context that LongPing High-Tech came to Golfleet to adopt a new approach. Continue reading and learn more about the role of our telemetry system in this change.
Partnership with the driver is crucial in fleet management
Telemetry and the change in organizational culture that it promotes in fleet management
The goal is to reduce 400% of infractions with the Speed per Lane (Vvia) module
What makes fleet management a reference? Is there a specific item or a determining strategy that the manager must use to achieve solid results?
Without a doubt, these are questions that every professional who is in charge of a fleet would like to know the answers to.
It is difficult to point out a single path, however, there is something that can undoubtedly raise the level of management and guarantee assertive results, which is access to fleet data and indicators. Gabriela Siqueira, fleet manager at LongPing High-Tech, say so.
Thanks to the data made available by telemetry, she was able to identify the biggest weaknesses in the fleet of 460 vehicles and take the necessary measures.
“We were only able to see what needed to be done through telemetry indicators. These are concrete data that show the reality and behavior of our fleet. Only then did we have a real idea of what was happening. If not, it would be impossible”, says Gabriela.
LongPing High-Tech's fleet increased significantly from 2022 to 2023, going from 178 to 460 cars. As a result, the number of drivers increased to approximately 550 and the number of drivers increased significantly.

If throughout the year 2022, the fleet traveled an average of 5 million km, only by May 2023 did it reach the 4 million km mark.
“This significant increase in the fleet caused several problems to begin to appear, many of which were related to unsafe behavior and infractions”, he recalls.
Drivers were exceeding speed limits, a factor responsible for most of the irregularities. It was then that the fleet manager, who participates in several events in the STOP Institute and already had the advantages of Golfleet technology, decided to activate the module Speed per lane (Vvia).
In this module, speed is monitored according to the positioning of the vehicle, and must be within the limits permitted by the inspection bodies for that road in question. If the driver exceeds the permitted speed, information is generated.
“With the implementation of Vvia, our expectation is to reduce infractions by 400% by the end of the year”, reveals the manager, who considers technology to be the heart of fleet management.

Partnership with the driver is crucial in fleet management
For Gabriela, a determining factor in achieving the goal is bringing drivers closer, work that has already been carried out by LongPing High-Tech management.
“We need to bring the driver to our side, show that we want to achieve our goals, but without affecting anyone's life. Our biggest values are people and safety,” he says.
To involve the driver, a top 10 was implemented. But, contrary to what one might think, it is a top 10 that brings out the biggest offenders.
“No one wants to be in that top 10. Additionally, alerts have been activated within Golfleet. When the driver exceeds the maximum permitted speed, an email will be sent directly to him. With this, you will be able to see how it is behaving”, he details.
In this way, drivers participate in the process and a partnership relationship is established, which is crucial to achieving solid results.
“When we focus on driver behavior, economic savings come as a consequence”, he concludes.

Telemetry and the change in organizational culture that it promotes in fleet management
As the LongPing High-Tech fleet grew, unexpected challenges emerged regarding unsafe behavior and violations.
However, instead of simply repressing these problems, Gabriela Siqueira opted for a deeper approach.
As a result, the implementation of the Speed per Road (VVia) module was not just a technical solution, it was an invitation for collective reflection on responsibility in traffic and behind the wheel.
After all, telemetry is not just a set of data, but a tool that promotes discussions and transformative actions.
Gabriela highlights that the visibility provided by the telemetry system indicators allowed drivers to understand the reality and impact of their actions on the safety of the fleet.
