Introduction
Transport operators in Africa have long battled cash leakage, fraud, and operational inefficiencies. Without reliable data, it’s difficult to optimize routes, monitor driver performance, or ensure accurate revenue collection.
Cheetah changes this story. It offers real-time revenue tracking, GPS-enabled route optimization, and digital fare collection — all from a single, easy-to-use platform.
How Cheetah Digitizes Informal Transport
Africa’s transport sector is highly informal, with buses, minibuses, tricycles, and motorcycle taxis forming the backbone of urban mobility. Traditionally, fare collection is cash-based, leading to:
- Revenue leakages caused by manual handling
- Inaccurate passenger counts
- Untraceable transactions, making it hard for operators to grow
Cheetah solves these problems by introducing digital payments via mobile apps, QR codes, and contactless cards. Every trip is recorded, reducing fraud and improving accountability for operators.
Instant Revenue Reports and Settlement
One of the biggest pain points for transport operators is knowing their exact daily income. With Cheetah, operators get:
- Real-time revenue dashboards showing how much each vehicle or route generates
- Instant settlement directly into their mobile wallet or bank account
- Automated financial records, making bookkeeping effortless
This means no more guessing or waiting until the end of the day to know how much was earned.

This level of location intelligence helps operators plan smarter and boost profitability.
Driver Performance Analytics
With Cheetah, it’s easier to track driver behavior and performance. Operators can see:
- How many trips a driver completes daily
- Average trip duration and passenger volume
- Instances of unauthorized stops or route deviations
These insights help reward high-performing drivers and improve overall service quality for commuters.

Cheetah has already delivered transformational results for operators across Africa:

- In Nairobi, Kenya, drivers reduced idle time by 30% thanks to better route optimization
By combining digital fare payments with data-driven insights, Cheetah helps operators move from informal chaos to organized efficiency.
