We Built Travada Because Logistics Companies Deserve Better Than Spreadsheets
Travada started from a simple observation: the most financially vulnerable companies in East Africa are transport businesses — and they're managing million-shilling operations with Excel files and gut feel.

The problem we kept seeing
Before Travada, every logistics operator we spoke to had the same three problems.
Spreadsheets that lie
By the time you finish reconciling last month's trips, the data is stale. Decisions made on outdated numbers cost you money you'll never recover.
Margins eroding invisibly
Fuel overcharges, unbilled detention, miscategorized repairs — each leak is small. Together they consume 10-20% of revenue you think you already earned.
No visibility until it's too late
You find out a driver or route is unprofitable months after the fact — after the damage is done. Not knowing is expensive.
2022
The problem became clear
Working with transport operators, we kept seeing the same pattern: profitable-looking fleets quietly hemorrhaging money through untracked fuel, missed billing, and zero per-trip visibility. No existing tool solved it.
2023
First version shipped
We launched a focused MVP — trip-level expenditure tracking with income reconciliation. The first users recovered unbilled fees they didn't know they were owed within 30 days.
2024
Fleet-wide financial intelligence
We expanded to driver analytics, vehicle performance tracking, automated reports, and real-time dashboards. Fleets went from monthly reconciliation to daily visibility.
Now
Built for the region
Travada is purpose-built for the East African logistics market — KES-native, designed for the way local fleets operate, and built to scale with your business.
Our Mission
"We built the tool we wish existed."
Travada exists because we watched logistics companies bleed money quietly — overcharged on fuel, under-billing clients, and reconciling finances weeks after the fact. In an industry operating on 3-6% net margins, every dollar of inefficiency is existential. We build tools that give logistics companies financial visibility they can act on — today, not next quarter.
We only serve logistics
No generic finance tool adapts well to transport. We built Travada from the ground up for trucking businesses — every feature, every workflow, every report.
We care about your P&L, not your feature list
Every decision we make asks: does this put more money in our customers' pockets? If not, we don't build it.
We grow when you grow
Our success is measured in customer retention and profit improvement. Your wins are our only metrics.
