OREYAFRICA Cuts Fleet Costs by 13% and Takes Control of Route Compliance with Frotcom

Discover how OREYAFRICA strengthened operational control, improved route security, and reduced fleet costs by 13% across its distribution network.

Logistics Company Strengthens Fleet Operations Across Africa

OREYAFRICA Transport & Logistics is an integrated logistics and transport engineering company. It operates across Angola, Mozambique, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The company provides a wide range of services, including road transport, distribution, freight forwarding, warehousing, project logistics, and supply chain management, tailored to meet the complex needs of industrial, commercial, and energy-sector clients.

The company operates a fleet of 65 heavy and light vehicles, 33 of which are equipped with Frotcom. OREYAFRICA manages multi-point distribution and transport operations where operational reliability, safety, and compliance with planned routes are essential. Its focus on quality, innovation, and customer-oriented logistics solutions has positioned it as a trusted partner for complex transport operations across the region.

Limited Fleet Visibility and Route Compliance Control

As its operations became more complex, OREYAFRICA needed a fleet management solution that could provide stronger operational control and better data visibility.
The company required a solution that could deliver:

• Advanced alarm functionality;
• Advanced analytics based on vehicle and driver data;
• Real-time route monitoring;
• Seamless integration with internal management systems.

Its main challenge was finding a system flexible enough to integrate with existing management tools, while still providing strong operational control features the company needed.

For a distribution-focused organization, ensuring strict adherence to planned routes, reducing risky driving behavior, and maintaining high safety standards were essential priorities.

Route Monitoring, Driving Behavior Analysis, and Fuel Management

To address its operational challenges, OREYAFRICA implemented several key Frotcom functionalities that provide structured oversight and actionable insights across its fleet.

With Route Planning and Monitoring, the company can define planned routes and track vehicles against them in real time. This ensures route compliance, reduces deviations, and strengthens control over capillary distribution operations where following predefined routes is essential.

Fleet Alarms provide proactive notifications for predefined events, such as route deviations, speeding, or unauthorized vehicle usage. These alerts reinforce operational discipline and enable immediate corrective action when necessary.

Through Driving Behavior Analysis, OREYAFRICA can assess indicators such as harsh driving events and risky driving patterns. This data-driven approach supports safer driving practices, reduces operational risk, and improves fleet reliability.

In addition, Fuel Management provides detailed visibility into fuel consumption patterns, helping identify inefficiencies, control fuel usage, and reduce unnecessary costs. By combining fuel insights with route compliance and driving behavior monitoring, OREYAFRICA achieved an overall 13% reduction in fleet-related operational costs, significantly improving cost efficiency across its distribution network.

Improved Fleet Safety, Route Compliance, and 13% Cost Reduction

With Frotcom's fleet management software, OREYAFRICA achieved significant improvements in operational safety and route control.
The system enabled:

• Real-time visibility of vehicle movements;
• Stronger route compliance control;
• Continuous monitoring of driving patterns;
• Reduction of risky driving behavior;
• Increased safety across distribution activities;
• Enhanced support for traffic controllers;
• Greater operational reliability in complex environments;
• A 13% reduction in overall fleet-related costs.

By combining advanced monitoring tools with structured analytics and alarms, OREYAFRICA strengthened both driving behavior and route security, reinforcing compliance and operational discipline across its logistics network.

André Gonçalves Pinto, Supply Chain Manager at OREYAFRICA Transport & Logistics, said: “Frotcom stands out for its powerful route control and real-time monitoring features. These tools have been essential for improving driving behavior, enhancing safety, and ensuring route compliance, especially in complex distribution operations.”

With Frotcom, OREYAFRICA gained stronger visibility, better operational control, and improved safety across its fleet. The system helped the company optimize its distribution operations while reducing operational costs.
