“Can a purpose-built, Africa-first TMS become the default operating system for road freight fleets?”
CtrlFleet was founded in 2024 in South Africa by two operators-turned-founders (a supply-chain MSc and a fintech-experienced applied mathematician from a family transport business) to unify disparate telematics, scheduling, and compliance tools for road freight fleets. It is a pure vertical SaaS play — priced in ZAR per vehicle per month — targeting African transporters and their cross-border customers. There is no embedded finance layer in the product today; the platform integrates with third-party tracking, fuel networks, and ERPs rather than issuing accounts, cards, or credit.
CtrlFleet was founded by Renko Bergh and Wichard Sullwald and is founded in 2024, headquartered in Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa.
