Fleet management for African operators
Zanda Fleet takes the dots on your GPS map and turns them into dispatch, deliveries, fuel, maintenance and compliance — one system, one set of numbers, from the yard in Lusaka to the gate at the mine.
Illustration of a live trip — not customer data.
The gap
Most operators have solved location and nothing else. The rest of the operation — what moved, what it cost, what expires next week — is spread across WhatsApp, a delivery book and three spreadsheets.
The tracker knows the truck reached the mine. It does not know what it carried, who signed for it, whether anything was short, or which invoice that trip belongs to.
Fitness, insurance, road tax and the driver’s licence all expire on their own dates, on paper, in different drawers. The first you hear of it is usually at a roadblock.
Litres go in at a dozen pumps against a dozen slips. Without the odometer beside them, consumption per hundred kilometres is a guess, and a siphoned tank looks like a bad week.
Services come due by kilometres, not by dates. When the person who remembers is on leave, the service is missed and the engine pays for it.
What it does
A trip carries its vehicle, its driver, its stops and its cargo. Dispatch it and everyone who needs to know, knows.

Your hardware
Changing fleet software should not mean changing every device in every cab. Zanda Fleet reads the trackers you own today and starts from the fleet already on them.
Connect the account you already have. Zanda Fleet reads your device list, matches each IMEI to a vehicle and keeps pulling positions — no new hardware, no re-fitting, no second subscription for the same trackers.
A Traccar-compatible webhook accepts location from other platforms and from devices we have never seen. If it can send latitude, longitude and a timestamp, it can feed the fleet.
Scoped API keys — telemetry-write separately from read — so an integration that pushes positions cannot also read your consignments. Keys are issued and revoked per tenant, from the settings screen.
Built for here
Costs, fuel and invoices are in kwacha. Timestamps are local time, so 06:00 on a dispatch sheet is 06:00 at the yard — not a figure somebody has to convert in their head.
The driver app installs from the browser, no store account needed. Inspections, proof of delivery and fuel entries are captured on the phone and queue until the phone finds a network again.
Alerts and delivery notifications go out by SMS through a Zambian gateway, to the 26 09 numbers your drivers and customers actually carry.
Vehicles, drivers and users belong to a branch. A depot manager sees their own yard; head office sees all of them side by side.
A trailer is a unit with its own fitness and insurance, not a note in a field. Couple one or two to a prime mover and the combination carries its own capacity and its own compliance.
Built against the Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021: each operator’s data is separated at the database, access is by role, and personal information stays out of third-party logs.
Plans
Every plan includes live tracking, dispatch, deliveries, fuel, maintenance and compliance. What changes is how many vehicles and people it has to carry.
Small fleets getting organised.
Growing operators with several depots.
Large and cross-border fleets.
Pricing depends on fleet size, the number of depots and whether you need us to bring your existing records across. Tell us what you run and we will quote in kwacha.
Getting started
Your TrackSolid or Jimi credentials go straight into the integration screen. Your device list appears within minutes.
Vehicles, trailers, drivers and branches import from a spreadsheet. Units without a registration get a plant number so nothing is left out.
Speed limits, working hours, geofences around the yards and the mines, and who may see which branch.
Drivers install the app from a link and start the day with an inspection. Dispatch sees the trip open in real time.
Fuel, maintenance, deliveries and compliance all land in the same place. At the end of the month the numbers reconcile themselves.
We will connect your trackers, import the vehicles you already run, and set it up with your team — then you decide whether the rest of the fleet follows.
