Precision on the road
Established in 2016 and headquartered in Dnipro, CENTER GAZ has grown into a trusted name in hazardous cargo transportation. Specializing in the movement of fuel and gas across Ukraine and international routes, the company operates a fleet of 26 tankers that cover over 250,000 kilometers monthly. CENTER GAZ transports thousands of tons of ADR goods while maintaining a focus on safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
CENTER GAZ believes in investing in modern vehicles and technological solutions to improve not only economic performance but also the entire process – from loading to delivery. Their Commercial Director Roman Dubrovsky explains, “Investments in modern vehicles impact not only economic performance during transportation but also the technological processes during the cyclical process of loading, transporting, and unloading fuel.”
The challenge: fragmented systems and limited visibility
Transporting dangerous goods involves strict regulations, precise scheduling, and careful fuel and fleet performance monitoring. Before partnering with LINQO, CENTER GAZ relied on multiple systems to manage navigation, fuel tracking, road payments, and SENT compliance. This fragmented approach created inefficiencies, increased costs, and demanded significant manual input. CENTER GAZ needed an all-in-one solution to unify these processes and provide accurate, real-time data for better decision-making.
“Therefore, we were looking for a representative of GPS services with a wide range of tasks, and in 2019 we saw a representative of multi-service GPS company Ruptela on the Ukrainian market, whose service package included wide opportunities to solve our current issues, such as road tolls, high-quality control of fuel consumption, work with a tachograph, economical driving, stable and stable navigation, and in 2019, we added the SENT option.” – Roman Dubrovsky, Commercial Director at CENTER GAZ.
LINQO’s all-in-one solution
In 2019, CENTER GAZ implemented LINQO’s platform, bringing together GPS tracking, tachograph management, e-Toll, Eco-Drive, and later added SENT GEO into one cohesive system.
The company appreciates multifunctional capabilities of LINQOTrack, particularly:
- Stable navigation. Reliable live GPS tracking ensures clear route planning and monitoring.
- Fuel consumption control. Integration with professional tools like Volvo Connect and MyScania enhances accuracy and enables precise tracking of fuel usage, detecting anomalies and reducing waste by 7-10%.
- Eco-Drive. Ranks drivers based on performance metrics such as speed control, braking, and acceleration. Also, helps identify driver behaviors that increase fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
- Tachograph management. Real-time data downloads automate compliance with driver work/rest regulations, with alerts for infringements ensuring adherence to ADR standards.
- e-Toll and SENT GEO. Advanced integration for automated road toll payments and regulatory compliance, providing data synchronization and efficient operations in cross-border transportation.
Results: efficiency, transparency and savings
With LINQO, CENTER GAZ has seen measurable results across key areas:
- Reduced fuel costs. Reduced fuel consumption by up to 10%, saving costs and resources.
- Time savings. Automated tachograph data management and toll payments streamlined processes, reducing manual efforts by 20%.
- Improved decision-making. Unified reporting and analytics allowed technical and economic teams to fine-tune operations.
- Safer operations. Eco-driving tools enhanced driver behaviors, minimizing risks and reducing vehicle wear and tear.
- Compliance assurance. SENT GEO and tachograph management ensured seamless adherence to ADR standards.
Integration with the company’s accounting system further enhanced efficiency, enabling real-time synchronization of mileage, fuel usage, and trip data for precise reporting and operational control.
Built on professionalism and trust
Roman Dubrovsky reflects on the value LINQO has brought to their operations: “We consolidated multiple options into a single solution with LINQO’s services.” He further describes LINQO’s solutions as “professional, multifunctional, accurate, responsible, and open.” With LINQO’s support, CENTER GAZ has streamlined their operations, set new benchmarks for hazardous cargo transportation, and achieved greater efficiency and compliance.
