  Location World, regional leader in IoT (Internet of Things) solutions in the vehicular sector through telematics solutions, has positioned itself as provider of Connected Car solutions for the vehicle insurance industry in Latin America.

  TEDx Quito was held for two days at Teatro Sucre, and it brought together important figures who have worked in different social, political, cultural and innovation spheres. They all agree on the same idea of ​​contributing to a better world. This scenario was the right place to talk about disruptive entrepreneurship with one of the best exponents in the area for Latin America: Daniel Wainmann, founder of  Location World.

This is how Location World experienced the ExpoTransporte Argentina 2022, one of the biggest exhibits in the transport industry in Latin America, alongside YPF and its innovative digital transformation. This alliance represents an important step in the field, thanks to the reboost of the YPF Ruta tool, and its wide spectrum of digital services. Since 2020, YPF has been working together withLocation World on the digital transformation of one of its most important businesses: YPF Ruta. Thanks to this alliance, YPF Ruta was able to introduce digital services, which have high value for its clients, since they allow them to optimize their businesses in the transport and logistics field. Digital transformation also allows companies to reach important cost reductions to continue walking through the path of technological evolution. People could learn about every important detail of this breakthrough in this exhibit that normally attracts around 30000 people every year. We were able to talk to Erica Bernasconi, from the Marketing Department of YPF Transport, about the presence of YPF, a transport and fuel giant, in the 12th edition of the ExpoTransporte that this year took place in La Rural of Buenos Aires, from August 9th and 11th. This was an international exhibit during which people could learn about equipment and technology regarding the autopart, cargo and passenger transport. ExpoTransporte gathers manufacturers, providers and professionals of the field, creating a space to create and strengthen business exchanges, but mainly, to share the new trends with the audience, as well as the benefits of digital transformation, when it comes to optimizing all types of fleets.

  Technology is changing the user experience across industries, and insurance is no exception. Telematics is propelling the usage-based insurance (UBI) market. In fact, the UBI market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 36.4 percent between now and 2022. One survey found that currently there are 20 million active UBI policies in 58 countries. This technology is a win-win, providing drivers with decreased premiums and insurance companies with an accurate method of assessing risk.

  Location World was featured as part of the latest edition of the magazine América Economía, where it was recognized as one of the leading companies in technological services oriented towards security.

  If you own a vehicle, you know how traditional vehicle insurance works. However, this model has become obsolete. It has evolved thanks to technology, giving rise to Insurtech.

More than 20 years ago, YPF Argentina, one the largest oil companies in the region, launched its YPF Ruta program. This program targeted users involved in the fleet management industry. Through this program, YPF continues to provide consumer credit to its customers by launching an exclusive credit card that can be used throughout its gas station network which also grants their users discounts on their fuel refills.In 2020 YPF Ruta took a leap by implementing a digital transformation in its already successful concept: vehicle connectivity. They did this hand in hand with its strategic partner , Location World.Now, this credit card works as a sophisticated digital solution that not only makes fuel supply easy, but also optimizes costs associated with fleet management through advanced analytics, real-time monitoring of fleets and the strengthening of security protocols.
