The webinar will be held on May 19, 2026 (Tuesday) from 11:00. This webinar will cover the product features of "Will-Fleet," which can be easily introduced without complicated wiring, usage scenarios for both shippers and transport operators, implementation steps, and information for sales partners. Transport operators and shipper companies considering compliance with the revised Logistics Efficiency Act (CLO), effective April 2026, as well as companies considering becoming sales partners and media representatives, are welcome to participate.

Background of the Event
Will Smart positions logistics DX as a key area in its medium-term growth strategy and promotes operational efficiency and data utilization support for approximately 63,000 small and medium-sized truck transport businesses nationwide. With the revised Logistics Efficiency Act (CLO), effective April 2026, "specific shippers" handling over 90,000 tons of cargo annually are obligated to track and regularly report data on waiting, loading/unloading, and operation. For shipper companies, it is difficult to complete the required "plan → execute → verify → report" cycle if they cannot accurately grasp the waiting and operation data of the entire logistics chain, including their contractors. On the other hand, for transport operators, the complexity of wiring work and high initial costs have been barriers to digital tachograph adoption, making it an urgent task to achieve the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's target of 85% installation rate by 2027. Against this backdrop, "Will-Fleet" has received many inquiries as a product that combines the simplicity of OBDⅡ connection, which eliminates complicated wiring, with high-frequency and high-precision data acquisition. In this webinar, Will Smart representatives will carefully explain the product's features, usage scenarios, and implementation steps, incorporating specific usage examples for both shipper companies and transport operators.
