Projects will be sorted into four categories based on their fleet size and complexity so that they can compete in their weight class. You will have room for success among similar projects!
If you become a finalist or winner, your project will definitely be recognized in the Wialon community, which includes thousands of Wialon partners worldwide, and in the international professional community: we talk about the winners at IoT and fleet management conferences.
We will also extensively promote the best projects in the industry media. During the last round of the competition, 50+ publications in 20+ countries reached 90,000 unique viewers, not including our own channels!
Last but not least, the winners will get a pre-paid $1000 card to spend on marketing purposes.

A custom solution sold to many customers is not suitable for the contest. However, if you have a real-life use case of applying such a solution to an actual client’s business with valid results, please feel free to apply!
