Zuba SDM connects customers who need freight moved with verified drivers, manages every load from request to delivery, and gives both sides arrival times that account for how African roads actually behave.
Preparing to launch — the platform below is built, but commercial operations have not started.
Booking, matching, tracking and settlement — built as a single system rather than stitched together from separate tools.
Drivers are onboarded with documents, vehicle records and a verification step before they can carry a load. Matching considers vehicle type, location and route.
GPS updates stream from the driver's phone throughout the job, so customers see where their cargo is and when it will arrive — without phoning anyone.
Arrival times are modelled across five layers — driver performance, traffic, road quality, route reliability and per-country calibration — instead of assuming highway conditions everywhere.
Every stage is tracked and auditable: request, assignment, pickup, transit, drop-off and completion — with photo proof at pickup and delivery.
When a delivery fails or a job is contested, both parties can open a dispute with photo evidence and follow it through to a documented resolution.
Wallets, escrow and a full ledger sit inside the platform, so money moves alongside the load rather than in a separate conversation.
Route models, pricing and country rules are calibrated per market rather than applied globally.
A customer books a load with pickup, drop-off and cargo details, and sees the price before confirming.
The platform offers the load to suitable verified drivers, who accept or decline within a time window.
The driver's app streams location through the journey. The customer follows progress and a live ETA.
Pickup and delivery are confirmed with photo proof, the load is completed and payment settles.
