Question 1

What is Kora Fleet?

Accepted Answer

Kora Fleet is a Kenya-built fleet operating system for any vehicle fleet — freight and logistics, PSV, school transport, car hire, distribution, construction, and field service teams. From one system it runs dispatch and trip tracking, live GPS vehicle tracking, fuel monitoring with anomaly detection, driver settlement records, maintenance, and document expiry tracking for insurance, NTSA and inspection — with M-Pesa as the payment rail and an offline-capable field app for areas with weak network.

Question 2

How is Kora Fleet different from a normal GPS car tracker?

Accepted Answer

A GPS tracker shows where a vehicle is. Kora Fleet connects that live location to the rest of the operation — dispatch, fuel accountability, driver settlements, maintenance, document expiry, and cost reports — so you run the whole fleet, not just watch a dot on a map. It works with supported tracking devices, but it is a fleet operating system rather than a standalone tracker.

Question 3

How does Kora Fleet help stop diesel theft and fuel loss?

Accepted Answer

Every fuel fill is recorded in the workspace against the vehicle with its receipt attached — deliberately not by the driver, since the person whose consumption is being measured should not own the measurement. Kora Fleet cross-references litres filled against tank capacity, distance driven, and expected consumption, then flags excess fills, mileage mismatches, rapid back-to-back refuels, and suspected siphoning for review. This makes fuel variances visible for investigation instead of hidden inside monthly totals — it surfaces suspected anomalies for a human to review, rather than claiming to prevent theft on its own.

Question 4

Does Kora Fleet work with M-Pesa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Companies pay their Kora Fleet subscription by M-Pesa, and driver settlement and advance records can carry M-Pesa transaction references so every payment is recorded and visible in the ledger. Kora Fleet keeps the settlement records; it does not hold or disburse customer funds — your company pays drivers through its own M-Pesa or bank channels.

Question 5

Can Kora Fleet track NTSA, insurance and speed governor expiry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each vehicle carries document records for insurance, NTSA inspection, speed governor certificate and other compliance documents, and Kora Fleet raises expiry alerts 30 days in advance so nothing lapses unnoticed. This is document expiry tracking to help your team stay on top of renewals — it tracks and reminds, it does not certify legal compliance for you.

Question 6

Does Kora Fleet work offline or on a weak network?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The field app for drivers and mechanics is offline-capable. It queues actions such as trip updates, vehicle inspections and issue reports in the browser when there is no connectivity, then replays them automatically once connection returns — built for Safaricom 3G conditions and coverage gaps common on East African routes.

Question 7

Can I track my lorry or truck from my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kora Fleet is mobile-first. Managers and dispatchers see live vehicle location, speed and trip progress from a phone browser, and drivers run their trips from the field app. You can follow a single lorry or an entire fleet from your phone.

Question 8

Does Kora Fleet work for matatus, buses, or PSV SACCOs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kora Fleet supports passenger and school transport operations with route records, vehicle readiness, driver records, fuel accountability, live tracking, and document expiry tracking for insurance, NTSA, speed governor and inspection. Available features follow the operator's plan and profile.

Question 9

Do we need to buy new trackers, or can we use our existing ones?

Accepted Answer

You can start with records, dispatch, maintenance and reporting without any tracker, and add tracking when you are ready. If your vehicles already have GPS trackers, the Kora team can review your current devices or provider to confirm whether they can be connected, or recommend a supported device.

Question 10

How much does Kora Fleet cost?

Accepted Answer

Kora Fleet is a monthly SaaS subscription billed in Kenyan Shillings (KES) via M-Pesa, priced per vehicle per month. Plans start from KES 2,125 per vehicle per month on annual billing (KES 2,500 month-to-month), and you can start free with no card required. See the pricing page for current plans.

Question 11

Which countries does Kora Fleet support?

Accepted Answer

Kora Fleet is built in Kenya and optimized for Kenya's operating environment — NTSA documents, M-Pesa, Safaricom coverage and KES. It also serves operators in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia, including cross-border transporters running the Northern Corridor between Mombasa, Nairobi, Kampala and Kigali.

Question 12

How do we get started with Kora Fleet?

Accepted Answer

You can start free or request a demo. The Kora team will review your fleet size, current operations and tracking setup, then recommend the right plan and, if needed, supported tracking devices to get your vehicles connected.
