Fuel Management & Tracking for Transport & Logistics in South Africa

AFTECH has been providing the South African transport and logistics industry with effective fuel management and tracking solutions since 2009. It is our aim to equip transportation and logistics operators with the necessary solutions in order to turn fleet data into simplified and measurable outcomes.

For too long, operators in South Africa have been sold solutions that have been designed and tested for European or American conditions, leaving them to figure out the rest once issues inevitably arise. Hence, we have dedicated our time to building, testing, deploying, and supporting integrated solutions that are specifically engineered to cater to South Africa’s distances, infrastructure, and operating realities.

AFTECH Solutions for the Transport & Logistics Industry

For carriers who regularly run the N1 and N3 between Johannesburg’s City Deep and the ports of Cape Town and Durban, AFTECH’s integrated technological solutions such as live GPS tracking, fuel management systems, and AI dashcams can significantly cut costs per kilometre, provide proof of delivery, and simultaneously offer driver protection.

From depot pick-ups to tracking driver routes and destinations, AFTECH provides South African transportation and logistics operators with a straightforward, integrated overview of every vehicle on the road, the litres used, and deliveries made.

Solutions that Work:

Advanced Fleet Telematics

Our Advanced Fleet Telematics can optimise operations by offering real-time tracking, fuel monitoring, and analytics on driver behaviour for every truck, trailer, and light vehicle in your fleet. Our telematics will enable you to optimise routing plans, driver scheduling, and accurate ETA tracking, actively cutting down on fuel burn and preventing missed deliveries on long-haul and last-mile corridors.

Video Telematics (AI Dashcams)

AFTECH’s Video Telematics places external as well as in-cab cameras on your vehicles that are directly connected to an on-device AI. Our video telematics allows operators to instantly detect driver fatigue, distraction, and collision risks during long trips as they are happening. Operators can stream footage at any time while being immediately notified when risk events occur on the road. This system simultaneously protects drivers while also reducing insurance claims.

PoC Radio Communications

PoC Radio Communications delivers instant push-to-talk voice communication between drivers, dispatch, and depot. PoC radio offers clear nationwide cellular coverage without the licensing and range restrictions of traditional VHF radio.

Workshop Management Software

Equipping our Workshop Management Software will streamline operations by automating job cards, overseeing part inventory, as well as service scheduling. This software will reduce downtime and prevent manual errors while providing a full audit trail on every repair, keeping your fleet on an efficient maintenance schedule.

Fuel Management System

Our Fuel Management System helps prevent theft, fraud, and errors across fuel bays. This system automates fuel dispensing, offers driver and vehicle authentication, and reconciliation across depot fuel bays. Bluetooth fuel level sensors will instantly detect siphoning, monitor consumption, and match fuel burn to route data, delivering measurable savings on every machine on site.

Locally Based Support

At AFTECH, all of our training and support teams are based in-country. No matter the problem, our engineers will travel to your site to address any issue in person. We make a point of holding both our spares and expertise in-region, ensuring we have support running in your time zone and not from an office centre a continent away. We believe that it is our on-the-ground support that makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our advanced fleet telematics allows logistics operators to actively monitor vehicle location, fuel consumption, idling, and driver behaviour as it’s happening. This hands-on approach will allow managers to immediately identify inefficient routes, excessive idling, and unusual fuel usage that can lead to an increase in operational costs. Our system allows operators to make decisions that are data-driven to improve efficiency while reducing unnecessary fuel expenditure.

Yes. AFTECH’s fuel management systems can work alongside our fleet telematics, AI dashcams, and workshop management software to provide a clear and complete overview of fleet operations. Operators will be able to link fuel transactions to linked vehicles and driver information, while our telematics can provide mileage and engine-hour data. Integrating AFTECH’s systems enables you to monitor fuel consumption, vehicle performance, driver behaviour, and maintenance requirements from a single, central platform.

Our active fuel tracking can significantly boost productivity for transport and logistics companies by improving cost control, accountability, and operational visibility. Our system will automate records, helping to reduce reliance on manual fuel logs and making it much easier to reconcile fuel purchases with actual consumption. For businesses managing large or cross-border fleets, having accurate data on fuel consumption can help optimise operations.
