Every vehicle. Every route. Fully visible.
Africa's roads move everything — and every vehicle that moves without visibility costs you money, safety, and control. AdvaIoT connects your entire fleet, from the first matatu departure at 5 AM to the last tanker delivery at midnight.

What's broken in Transport & Logistics today
Transport and logistics in Africa operates in one of the world's most challenging environments. Matatu SACCOs lose thousands monthly to fuel skimming by drivers. Long-haul hauliers have no idea where their trailers are once they cross into Tanzania or Uganda. Boda boda operators can't prove accident liability without evidence. Courier companies lose parcels and can't tell clients where their packages are.
Manual fuel dipping is inaccurate and easily manipulated. Paper waybills get lost or falsified. Speed governors are bypassed with cheap bypass devices. Insurance claims collapse because there's no data. Regulators demand digital tachographs but operators don't know where to start. Every gap in visibility is money leaving your business.
AdvaIoT gives every vehicle in your fleet a persistent digital identity. The moment an engine starts, data flows: live GPS coordinates every 10 seconds, fuel level from a tamper-resistant probe, engine RPM, vehicle speed, door sensor state, and passenger camera feeds — all into one dashboard your dispatchers and managers can access from any browser or smartphone.
Our platform is built specifically for Africa's infrastructure realities. We buffer GPS data through connectivity dead zones along the Northern Corridor and Mombasa highway and sync it when signal returns. Our hardware is ruggedised to survive the potholes of Thika Road or the dust of northern Kenya. Local engineers in Nairobi handle hardware replacement within 24 hours — no waiting for shipments from Europe.
Turning transport & logistics data into decisions
- Live GPS tracking for matatus, PSV buses, boda bodas, and trucks
- Matatu SACCO route compliance and passenger load monitoring
- Fuel theft detection, consumption analytics, and tanker load sensors
- Driver behavior scoring: harsh braking, speeding, idling, and fatigue
- Cross-border tracking with offline buffering across dead zones
- Integrated dashboards for dispatchers, SACCOs, and fleet managers
Capabilities
Purpose-built IoT solutions for transport & logistics operations across Africa.
Live GPS Tracking
10-second position updates for every vehicle. See your entire fleet on a live map, replay historical routes, and export trip reports by driver, route, or date range.
Fuel Theft Detection
Capacitive fuel-level probes that cannot be bypassed by magnet or bypass cable. Instantly detect draining, pump skimming, and consumption anomalies against route distance.
Driver Behaviour Scoring
Automatic scoring of harsh braking, rapid acceleration, speeding, and night driving. Driver league tables give SACCOs and operators the data to reward safe drivers and manage repeat offenders.
Geofencing & Alerts
Draw virtual boundaries around depots, routes, and restricted zones. Receive instant SMS and app alerts the moment a vehicle deviates — perfect for matatu route compliance and tanker security.
In-Cab Cameras
Dual-lens cameras capturing driver-facing and road-facing footage. Automatic clip capture on hard braking events. Footage accessible remotely for insurance and disciplinary purposes.
Fleet Analytics Dashboard
Aggregated reporting for SACCOs, operations managers, and finance teams. Cost-per-km, idle time, trip completion rates, and maintenance scheduling based on engine hours.
Cross-Border Tracking
Continuous tracking across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and beyond. Offline buffering stores data through dead zones and syncs on reconnection. Border crossing alerts included.
Tanker Load Monitoring
Axle load sensors and compartment-level fuel monitoring for tankers. Know exactly how much product left the depot and how much was delivered at every pump stop.
How it works in the field
Matatu SACCO Route Compliance
The Situation
A Nairobi matatu SACCO with 120 vehicles was losing 40,000 KES daily to route deviation — drivers were skipping stops to serve private clients. Passengers complained constantly and revenue was unpredictable.
The Outcome
AdvaIoT installed GPS units on all 120 matatus with geofenced routes. Dispatchers received instant alerts on any deviation. Within 30 days, route compliance hit 97%, passenger complaints dropped to near zero, and the SACCO recovered its projected daily revenue.
Fuel Tanker Theft Prevention
The Situation
A petroleum distributor supplying fuel across three counties was experiencing 8–12% fuel variance per delivery run. Manual dipping at loading and offloading points was being manipulated by drivers in collusion with site operators.
The Outcome
Tamper-resistant capacitive probes with load cell verification on the tanker axles eliminated manipulation. Every litre loaded and delivered is now reconciled automatically. Fuel variance dropped to under 0.3%, saving over 2 million KES per month.
Boda Boda Insurance & Accountability
The Situation
A boda boda aggregator needed to prove accident liability for insurance claims, enforce safety speed limits across its 800-rider fleet, and reduce the rate of vehicles going offline — indicating theft or abandonment.
The Outcome
GPS trackers with automatic crash detection and footage upload gave the aggregator irrefutable accident evidence. Speed compliance improved 60% within 3 months of driver score publishing. Vehicle loss incidents dropped to zero.
How we deploy
Fleet Audit
We catalogue every vehicle, route, and driver in your operation. Our team identifies the highest-cost problems — fuel theft, route deviation, idle time — and prioritises accordingly.
Hardware Installation
Our Nairobi-based installation team fits GPS trackers, fuel probes, and cameras across your fleet. Most vehicles take under 90 minutes. We work weekends and nights to avoid disrupting operations.
Platform Onboarding
Your operations team gets live dashboard access, custom alert configuration, and driver profile setup. We build your geofences, routes, and reporting templates before go-live.
Monitoring & Support
24/7 live monitoring with alerts to your team. A dedicated account manager reviews your monthly analytics and flags emerging patterns. Hardware faults are replaced within 24 hours.
Proof in the field
A major PSV operator running 200 buses across Nairobi County
Challenge: The operator was experiencing 35% fuel variance on their highest-volume routes, with no visibility into which buses, drivers, or routes were responsible. Manual checks were slow and easily manipulated.
Result: AdvaIoT deployed GPS trackers with capacitive fuel probes and in-cab cameras across all 200 buses in under 3 weeks. Within 60 days, fuel variance dropped to 1.8%, three drivers were dismissed for documented theft, and the operator saved over 4.5 million KES in the first quarter.
