OKOA Rescue

What OKOA Rescue does

OKOA Rescue is a Nairobi-based B2B fleet rescue and maintenance provider founded in 2023 to reduce vehicle downtime for commercial fleet operators in East Africa. The company operates as a single-turnkey supplier managing a nationwide network of vetted mechanics, electricians, tow and crane partners across Kenya (reported as 800+ on the homepage and 1,600+ in product materials), delivering 24/7 emergency rescue, on-site repairs, towing and preventative maintenance. Its service mix is anchored on two product lines: Emergency Rescue (rapid-response roadside assistance with real-time tracking) and Preventative Maintenance (OEM-aligned scheduled service plans, remote field maintenance, condition monitoring, workshop optimisation and reporting dashboards), supported by digital job cards, parts-and-payment management, ETR-compliant invoicing and monthly data insights on uptime and cost per km/hour.

The underlying technology is a dispatch-and-workflow platform with real-time tracking, timestamped digital job cards, and analytics dashboards that surface breakdown patterns, MTTR by route/vehicle, and repeat-fault flags. Distribution is direct enterprise sales to commercial fleet operators and global OEMs; pricing is quote-based and customised per fleet, with revenue generated through managed-services contracts on a per-service or subscription basis. OKOA's customer base includes named enterprise accounts such as Siginon Global Logistics, Fargo Courier, Lori Systems, G4S Kenya, Proto Energy, Freight In Time, SGR Security, Bulk Stream and Blue Jay, with company-reported outcomes of 98% asset uptime, 15,000+ completed repairs and KES 880M+ in customer idle-hour savings. The company closed a $1.08 million seed round in 2024 and operates with 11-50 employees from its Katko Complex headquarters on Old Mombasa Road.
