AxleClear
Fleet maintenance governance

Every rand of maintenance spend should answer three questions.

Who approved this, against which quote, and when. AxleClear enforces the sequence and writes a tamper-evident record of it, so the answer exists before anyone asks.

How it works Engineering evidence

An enforced sequence, not a reminder

Most fleet maintenance is approved by phone and reconciled by memory. AxleClear makes each step a record, and an invoice that does not reconcile to an approved quote is flagged rather than paid.

01
Quote
Workshop submits over WhatsApp
02
Approval
Checked against a spend cap
03
Work authorised
Scope fixed at approval
04
Invoice
Received against the job
05
Reconciliation
Matched to the approved quote
06
Settlement
Released, or flagged

The record cannot be quietly edited

Every financial event is written into a SHA-256 hash chain. Each record incorporates the digest of the one before it.

event_hash = sha256( previous_hash + canonical_json(payload) )

Change or delete any historical record and the chain breaks from that point forward — detectably, and without needing a backup to compare against. This is what makes the system answerable to an auditor rather than merely useful to a fleet manager.

Built for how South African fleets actually work

The workshop needs no software

Quotes and job updates arrive over WhatsApp, on the production Meta Cloud API. An independent workshop needs no portal, no licence and no training to take part.

Your data stays here

Deployed to Google Cloud africa-south1, Johannesburg. Personal identifiers are hashed at system boundaries and never written to logs.

Approval limits that hold

Spend caps are enforced at approval time, scoped per organisation and per role — not applied as a report after the money has gone.

Portable deployment

Containerised, with a dedicated pilot configuration. Deployable to cloud standards compatible with public-sector requirements.

Where AxleClear is today

AxleClear is built and tested; it is not yet deployed to a paying customer. The platform was engineered for enterprise-scale fleets, and current development is adapting it for operators running 5–50 vehicles — a mobile-first interface, direct workshop integration and self-service onboarding.

We would rather say that plainly than have you discover it. If you run a fleet and the sequence above describes a problem you have, we would like to talk to you while that work is being done.
