The solution is attracting a growing number of users in the local market, showing how AG Partners Africa was right when, in 2021, it selected Pozi among one of the promising African IoT and SaaS startups.  

Pozi is a tracking solution developed by a Gabonese eponymous startup launched in November 2020. It allows car owners and fleet managers to track their vehicles in real time. 

The solution is accessible through web and mobile apps -the mobile app is available for Android and iOS users- and requires registration. After registration, new users have to arrange a meeting with Pozi staff for the installation of the tracking device. That tracking device must be installed on every car or vehicle in a said fleet.  

"Pozi analyzes the performance of your movements and identifies risks and opportunities related to operations on all your vehicles (fuel economy, mastery of traffic timetables, etc.),"  the Gabonese startup informs on its website.

Pozi also notifies car owners or fleet managers of drivers’ risky behaviors, therefore contributing to the improvement of their driving habits. In addition, it allows real-time monitoring of drivers’ activities (mileage, time in traffic) or the routes and areas most visited by a said vehicle. 

The services can be accessed with free, monthly, or yearly subscriptions. Its Smart and Genius subscriptions cost respectively XAF25,000 (US$37.88) and XAF35,000 per vehicle. For paying users, there is a one-time fee of XAF15,000 for the installation of tracking devices (called Pozi Connect). 

In April 2022, Pozi crossed the bar of 500 active users. By 2024, the startup hopes it would become the tracking leader in Gabon. It also plans to conquer Africa by 2030. 

“Crossing the 500-vehicle milestone marks the beginning of a new growth stage for our startup. Our ambitions are bold but we believe that we will achieve them thanks to our ability to focus on user satisfaction daily,” explains Pozi co-founder Loïc Kapitho.
