Run your fleet from one account
Driver settlements, fuel tracking, route costs and expense management — all in one place. Built for Nigerian transport businesses.

- No monthly fee

Settle every driver and conductor before they leave the park
From danfo operations in Lagos to inter-state coaches running Lagos–Abuja, getting driver settlements right keeps the fleet moving. Niimbu calculates earnings, deductions and allowances from verified trip data. Whether a driver runs on salary, commission or a trip split, the settlement is ready the same day, no arguments, no delays.
- Trip-based and salary-based driver pay calculated automatically
- Conductor collections reconciled against trip revenue
- Advance payments and loan deductions tracked per driver
- Settlement receipts accessible to each driver from their phone
Know exactly where every litre of fuel goes across the fleet
Fuel is the largest variable cost in any transport operation. Without tracking, discrepancies between pump readings and driver claims run into millions a year. Niimbu logs every fill-up against a specific vehicle, trip and driver, so you see the real cost per kilometre and catch anomalies before they eat into your margins.
- Fuel logged per vehicle, per trip, per driver
- Average cost per kilometre calculated automatically
- Fuel card reconciliation with station and litre records
- Anomaly alerts when consumption deviates from the route norm
Running a transport fleet without systems costs more than you think
Without Niimbu
- You started a transport business to move people, not to reconcile fares. Without a system, driver accountability is weak. Fuel costs are untracked. Which routes make money is a guess.
With Niimbu
- Niimbu tracks every route, every driver settlement and every expense — so you know which routes make money.

Questions transport operators ask
Everything you need to know about running your fleet on Niimbu.
Is Niimbu built for Nigerian transport and fleet companies?
Yes. Niimbu is designed for Nigerian transport operations, from danfo and okada fleets in Lagos to inter-state buses running Lagos–Abuja and ride-hailing drivers across major cities. It handles trip management, driver settlements, fuel tracking and fleet accounting in Naira, with support for local bank transfers.
Can I manage different types of vehicles in one account?
Yes. Danfo minibuses, luxury coaches, trucks, okadas and ride-hailing vehicles are all managed in the same account. Each vehicle type can have its own pay structure, fuel profile and maintenance schedule, but everything rolls up into one dashboard.
How do driver and conductor settlements work?
You set up each driver's pay structure, salary, trip-based or a commission split with the vehicle owner. Conductor collections are reconciled against trip revenue. When settlement time comes, Niimbu calculates earnings, deductions and allowances from verified trip data and pays each driver on the agreed date.
Does Niimbu work for ride-hailing drivers?
Yes. Ride-hailing drivers using Bolt, Uber or similar platforms can reconcile their earnings against platform statements. Trip data, fuel costs and vehicle expenses are tracked per trip, so each driver sees their real take-home after platform commissions and running costs.
How does fuel tracking work for a fleet?
Every fill-up is logged against a specific vehicle, driver and trip. You can record litres, cost and fuel station. Niimbu calculates average cost per kilometre per vehicle and flags anomalies when consumption deviates from the norm, whether from excessive idling, route deviations or fuel diversion.
Can I track inter-state transport costs accurately?
Yes. Trips between states are tracked with route-specific costs including tolls, fuel, driver per-diem and loading fees. Revenue is linked to each trip, so you see the profit per route, whether it is Lagos to Abuja, Port Harcourt to Enugu or any other corridor.
Can drivers log trips from their phones?
Yes. Drivers, conductors or dispatchers can log trip details, departure, arrival, fuel, tolls, passenger count and expenses, from a mobile phone. The data is captured at the point of action, so trip records are complete and accurate by the time the vehicle returns.
How do I handle vehicle maintenance across the fleet?
Every vehicle has a record with registration details, insurance policy dates and road-worthiness certificates. Niimbu tracks service intervals and sends reminders when maintenance is due. Repair costs are logged against each vehicle so you know the total cost of ownership.
What does it cost to get started?
Opening an account is free and there is no monthly platform fee. You pay per transaction when money moves, driver payments, fuel purchases and settlements. A quiet month costs you nothing, and you can add vehicles, drivers and routes without extra charges.
How long does it take to set up a transport operation on Niimbu?
Most transport companies are running trips within a week. The setup involves registering your vehicles, adding drivers and conductors with their pay structures and importing your active routes. The Niimbu team supports you through the process.
