Built in Africa for all types of fleet
Authentic Fleet Intelligence (AFI) turns raw tracking, workshop and cost data into decisions – then connects fleets to verified loads, finance and insurance across Africa. One platform for trucks, drivers, loads and cash flow.
One platform, three engines
AFI is more than tracking. It’s a logistics intelligence platform and marketplace that runs across every truck, route and transaction.
Know exactly which trucks are killing profit
AFI ingests workshop logs, parts, telematics and trip costs to show true cost-per-km and risk per truck, route and customer.
- Cost, downtime & defects per vehicle and lane
- Predictive maintenance triggers – before breakdown
- Driver behaviour linked to actual financial impact
- Ready-to-use reports for EXCO, auditors & financiers
Connect verified fleets and shippers
A corridor-aware marketplace that matches loads to fleets with the right risk, compliance and pricing profile – starting in SADC and scaling Africa-wide.
- Digital posting, bidding and allocation of loads
- AFI Fleet Score used to verify carriers and pricing
- Empty-mile reduction through smart backhaul matching
- Corridor analytics for government and large shippers
Turn data into better pricing and faster cash
With clean telematics and cost data, AFI enables new financial products for fleets and shippers.
- Usage-based insurance using AFI Fleet & Driver Scores
- Invoice factoring & fuel credit partners
- Trusted data layer for banks and underwriters
- Analytics subscriptions for investors & financiers
Driver & mobile experience
AFI is built for the people doing the work on the road. The mobile app keeps trips, PODs and safety events digital – even when data is limited.
Simple, focused and low-friction
- Trip assignments and route instructions
- Digital PODs with images & signatures
- Pre-trip & post-trip inspections from the phone
- Incident reporting: breakdowns, delays, border issues
- Offline-first design for low-coverage corridors
From WhatsApp chaos to controlled operations
- Live view of where trucks, drivers and loads actually are
- Exception alerts instead of noise – only when risk changes
- Direct chat & escalations for high-priority loads
- Clean timeline of each load for shippers and EXCO
Africa-wide load marketplace, starting in SADC
AFI’s marketplace focuses first on SADC and Great Lakes corridors, then scales across Africa. Fleets, shippers, insurers and governments all see corridor-level data, not spreadsheets and guesswork.
From pilot routes to continental coverage
- Port & cross-border corridors (e.g. Kigali ↔ Mombasa, Kigali ↔ Dar)
- Backhaul and empty-mile reduction as a core KPI
- Compliance & delay visibility at borders and weighbridges
- Government & donor-friendly data for safer, more transparent trade
Each role gets clear, measurable benefits
- Shippers: reliable fleets, predictable pricing, live tracking
- Carriers: consistent loads, faster payments, better credit
- Drivers: safer routes, fewer delays, clearer instructions
- Insurers & financiers: real-time risk & performance data
Three phases, one platform
Start simple with clean operations data. Then plug in tracking, marketplace and predictive models when you’re ready. AFI is designed to grow with your fleet – not drown you in complexity on day one.
Replace WhatsApp & scattered spreadsheets
Give operations and workshop teams one place to capture:
- Breakdowns, call-outs and roadside repairs
- Tyres, brakes, suspension & major component changes
- Planned vs. unplanned workshop visits
- Fuel, tolls and other trip costs
- Basic revenue per trip / lane
Bring tracking and behaviour into the same story
Plug AFI into your GPS/telematics provider:
- Route & lane performance – where you really make money
- Idling, speeding & harsh events linked to actual spend
- Fuel card / tank irregularities flagged for investigation
- Driver scorecards that workshop, insurers & owners can trust
From rear-view reporting to forward decisions
Once your data is clean, AFI starts surfacing intelligence:
- Cost-per-km per truck, with early warnings on outliers
- Failure risk signals tied to parts, routes and driver history
- Dynamic corridor pricing & Fleet / Driver / Corridor Scores
- AI-driven load matching and financial product eligibility
