Fuel is the largest variable cost in your fleet

With fuel prices across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, DRC and South Sudan well above regional averages, theft and waste hit harder than ever. Fuel management turns a hidden leak into a visible, fixable problem — often the fastest way to recover real money from your fleet operation.

Refuelling detection

Automatically confirm when and how much fuel was added, cross-checked against receipts.

Fuel drain alerts

Get notified the moment an unexpected drop in fuel level happens, wherever the vehicle is.

Consumption analytics

Track litres per kilometre and per hour to spot inefficient vehicles or driving habits early.

How it works

1

Fuel sensors are installed

Calibrated sensors are fitted to each vehicle's fuel tank alongside the GPS unit.

2

Levels stream continuously

Fuel level readings flow into the platform in real time, tied to location and time.

3

Anomalies get flagged

Sudden drops or unconfirmed refuels trigger an alert so you can act immediately.

Common questions

How accurate are the fuel readings?

Sensors are calibrated per tank for reliable readings, with alerts tuned to filter out normal sloshing or road vibration.

Can it detect siphoning specifically?

Yes — sudden, rapid drops in fuel level while a vehicle is stationary are the clearest signature of siphoning and are flagged immediately.

Does it work with generators too?

Yes, the same approach applies to generators and other fuel-powered equipment, not just vehicles.

Is this bundled with fleet tracking?

Fuel management works alongside fleet tracking so every fuel event is tied to a location and time.
