Built from the ground up for African operators, not adapted from Western logistics software.

Passengers Know
Before They Go

H3 hexagonal location grid updated every 8 seconds. Your passengers see exactly where their matatu is and when it will arrive β€” before they leave the house.

  • Passengers see real-time ETA at their exact stop
  • Boarding intent β€” declare you want to board, conductor is notified

Ticketing

NFC & QR Ticketing β€”
Tap or Scan

Cryptographically signed tickets that work offline. ECDSA signatures mean even without internet, the conductor's device validates the ticket β€” no fraud possible.

  • Season passes with 30+ configurable limitations
  • ECDSA cryptographic security β€” offline verification
  • Works without internet β€” offline validation queue
  • iOS + Android: NFC tap or QR scan
  • Thermal printer support for conductors
Intelligence

Owner Intelligence β€”
Know Your Numbers

Revenue leakage is the silent killer of matatu SACCOs. FleetOptima compares what conductors should have collected against what they submitted β€” automatically, every trip.

  • Revenue leakage: compare expected vs collected per trip
  • Conductor accountability scoring across all routes
  • Fuel anomaly detection: off-route fills, price spikes, ghost fills
  • NTSA compliance calendar with 30/7/1 day reminders
  • Automatic payroll with NHIF/NSSF deductions
