Eurowag products: Fuels, Toll, Telematics, Navigation
Slovak transport companies face 40% toll increases, rising fuel costs, new transaction taxes, and disproportionate tax burdens versus neighboring countries. Customers prioritize price over green solutions, while driver shortages require creative retention. For technology-forward companies, innovation through automation and digitization is the key response.
Managing 40–50 weekly transports with 1–15 delivery points each, plus massive documentation volumes (a furniture shipment may include 100 delivery notes requiring physical carriage and stamping). Transport Director Richard Jančovič: what once required manual Google Maps routing by a dedicated employee now takes AI seconds to optimize.
TOPNAD’s proprietary software connects via web dispatch and Sygic navigation from Eurowag to tablets in each vehicle. Advanced telematics using Eurowag’s EVA on-board units completes the setup. Automatic integration between fuel cards, toll systems, and accounting saves countless hours monthly. The system generates reports by vehicle, route, or customer without manual intervention.
Empty kilometers nearly eliminated. AI considers not just shortest distance but cargo loading order and endpoint positioning for optimal continuation. Planning innovations alone saved the equivalent of 2–3 employees’ workload. The company is implementing eCMR and digitizing delivery note processes from paper to tablet-based workflows.
Photovoltaic panels installed on warehouses and service buildings. Jančovič: “In the long term, we would like to deploy vehicles powered by alternative fuels. However, readiness of infrastructure and state support through tax breaks or subsidies will be decisive.” Warehousing capacity is expanding (20,000 sqm owned, 10,000 leased, 40,000 sqm facility in acquisition).
