The problem

The equipment-hire business leaks money in the gaps.

Fleets grow, demand swings, and the margin disappears where the tools don't reach. These are the leaks Kokeb Equipment Hire is built to close.

Margin bleeds out on re-rent

When you sub-hire to meet demand, true cost versus price gets lost across spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Deals look profitable — and quietly aren't.

No single view of the fleet

Owned kit and hired-in kit live in different systems. Nobody knows real utilisation, which units sit idle, or where a machine is right now.

Tax and invoicing done by hand

Fiscalising every sale to ZRA Smart Invoice manually is slow and error-prone — and mistakes turn into penalties.

Cash arrives late, if at all

Without credit control, deposits and damage end in disputes and receivables age silently while the work is already done.

Breakdowns become blame games

When equipment fails on site, who pays and who responds isn't clear. Downtime costs the customer, the supplier and you.

The real work happens offline

Sites have poor signal. Paper job cards and phone calls never reconcile cleanly back to the books.

One platform, end to end

Everything the trade needs, in one system.

From the first quote to a fiscalised, settled and reconciled hire — built for how the work really happens on African sites.

Margin-protected quoting

A real cost model — ownership, maintenance, operator, fuel and sub-hire — sits behind every quote, with markup and leakage watched end to end.

Unified fleet & telematics

Owned and hired assets on one board with live position, utilisation, geofences and fuel-theft alerts.

ZRA Smart Invoice, built in

Fiscalise sales straight to ZRA (VSDC v1.0.8) with valid signatures and QR codes — no side systems, no re-keying.

Every payment rail

MTN, Airtel and Zamtel Mobile Money, cards via DPO, and on-account credit with statements and automated dunning.

Field-ready, offline-first

A driver, operator and inspection app that works with no signal and syncs when it returns — plus WhatsApp intake for requests.

Trust & compliance

Explainable supplier sourcing, KYC and sanctions screening, and structured deposit-dispute and breakdown-responsibility workflows.

Owned or sub-hired — one fleet, one standard.

From a single excavator to a full site of plant, every machine quoted, dispatched and tracked in one place.

How it works

One thread from enquiry to reconciled cash.

Every hire follows the same clean path — owned or sub-hired, the margin and the tax are handled at each step.
