Johannesburg - Cargo doesn’t go missing when it moves. It goes missing when no one is watching it move. With South African supply chains losing hundreds of millions of rand to in-transit theft, and roughly 30 to 35 truck hijackings recorded every week, the riskiest moments in any operation are the temporary ones — the hand-over, the transfer, the unplanned leg where a permanent tracker was never fitted. DigitFMS has launched the Digit D-Sticker (Model PB708) to close exactly that gap: an ultra-thin, disposable tracking label that you cut, stick and track in seconds, with no installation, no wiring and no operational delay. Its promise is deliberately understated: silent, disposable, traceable. Some things simply work better quietly. Not everything needs to be permanent Permanent tracking is powerful — but not every asset justifies installation, and not every risk waits for a procurement cycle. Short-term assets, temporary movements and unplanned risks fall into a blind spot that structured tracking systems were never designed for. Installation requires planning, planning requires time, and time is exactly where exposure lives. Every transfer introduces risk. Every hand-over creates a gap. Goods get transferred, vehicles change hands, and packages move through unknown environments — and somewhere along the way, visibility disappears, not because a system failed, but because no system was ever there. The D-Sticker is built for those moments that matter: when visibility is needed now, not next week. Cut it, stick it, track it At its simplest, the Digit D-Sticker is applied directly to an asset and activated on the spot, delivering immediate, temporary tracking without complexity. There is no installation, no wiring and no disruption to the workflow — intelligence without infrastructure. Like the recently launched Digit D-Pod, the D-Sticker operates on the Apple Find My network rather than a traditional SIM or GSM connection, drawing on a vast, constantly …
DigitFMS D-Cam AD Plus 2.0: the Dashcam That Looks Inward
Johannesburg, July 21, 2026 - As South Africa records close to 2,000 truck hijackings a year — roughly 30 to 35 every week, with business-owned vehicles far more likely to be targeted than private ones — DigitFMS has launched the Digit D-Cam AD Plus 2.0, an AI video telematics system built on a deliberately different premise: that the highest-value intelligence in any fleet is happening inside the cab, not just on the road ahead. Most dashcams look outward. This one looks in. Where conventional cameras capture what happens around the vehicle, the AD Plus 2.0 verifies who is inside it — and intervenes in real time the moment something is wrong. Its message is simple: one driver, zero passengers, total control. The costliest passengers are the ones who aren’t authorised Hijackings, cargo loss, unauthorised stops, side-jobs and personal pick-ups have one thing in common: none of them show up on a tracker, but all of them show up on the bottom line. A vehicle is dispatched with one driver, one route and one purpose — and somewhere between the depot and the destination, that contract quietly changes, with the fleet the last to know. A second person in the cab is rarely a single event. It starts as a habit, a favour, a “just this once,” and becomes a route deviation, a delayed delivery, a missing pallet, a claim form. Until now, the only proof came after the fact — after the claim, after the loss, after the investigation. The AD Plus 2.0 closes that gap in real time. From reaction to prevention Using special firmware, the AD Plus 2.0 detects unauthorised passengers the instant they appear, pushing real-time overcrowding alerts to the operations centre and enforcing policy before a trip becomes a problem. In doing so it directly targets the crew-assisted theft and route-deviation hijackings that thrive in cab blind spots — restoring full driver accountability and turning the vehicle interior from an unmonitored space into a controlled one. “Most tracking tells …

DigitFMS Launches D-Pod: a Covert, No-SIM Asset Tracker
Johannesburg, July 21, 2026 - With roughly 85 vehicles reported stolen every day in South Africa, and countless unpowered assets — trailers, generators, plant and bulk-fuel equipment — moving between sites with no eyes on them at all, DigitFMS has launched the Digit D-Pod (Model PB705): a compact, magnetic, self-contained tracking device that deploys in seconds, hides in plain sight, and reports location without a SIM card, wiring or any visible infrastructure. The message behind the launch is deliberately blunt: visibility doesn’t ask permission. Where traditional tracking depends on installation, connectivity contracts and being switched on, the D-Pod is built on the opposite principle — it depends on being unseen. The blind spot most operations don’t see until it’s too late Not every loss is dramatic. Most are silent. Trailers get relocated. Equipment gets reassigned. Generators disappear between sites. Not stolen, not lost — just unaccounted for, until it becomes a problem. “Last seen” is not real visibility. Time delays hide an asset’s true location, accountability evaporates between hand-overs, and movement happens without instruction. The result is a chain of operational blind spots: misplaced trailers, unauthorised movement, delayed recovery, growing insurance exposure and escalating replacement costs. As DigitFMS puts it: “If you’re not tracking it, you’re guessing.” Tracking without installation The Digit D-Pod removes the three things that slow conventional tracking down — time, planning and downtime. There is no wiring and no fitment appointment. The unit is activated by unscrewing the housing and connecting the internal battery, placed on any metal surface via its magnetic base in seconds, and left to work. Crucially, the D-Pod does not depend on traditional networks. Instead of a SIM card or GSM signal, it leverages the Apple Find My ecosystem — a vast, constantly moving global network of nearby devices. Every compatible device that passes …

Diesel Hits Record R26.11 Per Litre as Fleet Fuel Theft Costs SA Operators R1.5 Billion Annually — DigitFMS Launches Digit D-Fuel to Close the Gap
Real-time fuel intelligence system measures actual tank volume to detect theft, fraud, and consumption anomalies within seconds — delivering verified data where dashboard gauges and fuel cards fall short Johannesburg, South Africa - DigitFMS, a South African fleet intelligence and security technology provider with over 20 years of industry experience and more than 100 franchise partners nationwide, has officially launched Digit D-Fuel — an intelligent vehicle fuel monitoring system designed to eliminate uncertainty in fleet fuel management and prevent losses before they occur. The launch comes as South African fleet operators face the most severe diesel pricing environment in a decade. On 1 April 2026, the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources confirmed that diesel (0.005% sulphur) increased by R7.51 per litre — a 32.5% operating cost shock. Wholesale diesel now stands at R25.35 at the coast and R26.11 in Gauteng. Road Freight Association CEO Gavin Kelly has warned that smaller transport operators may close within weeks if additional relief does not arrive, describing the adjustment as an increase of 32.5% on a basic cost input that represents between 35% and 55% of total operating costs. Against this backdrop, industry estimates place annual diesel theft losses to South African logistics firms at approximately R1.5 billion per year through siphoning alone — excluding refuelling fraud, fuel card manipulation, and the slower drain of inefficient driving behaviour. Why Traditional Fuel Controls Are No Longer Adequate Most South African fleet operators currently rely on fuel card reconciliation, driver-reported receipts, or vehicle ECU (dashboard) readings to monitor fuel consumption. Each of these methods shares a critical weakness: they detect loss only after it has already happened — typically days or weeks later during manual reconciliation. Vehicle dashboard fuel gauges, in particular, rely on CANBUS data that manufacturers filter and …

DigitFMS Launches D-Fuel: Real-Time Vehicle Fuel Intelligence System to Combat South Africa’s R3.6 Billion Fuel Loss Crisis
DigitFMS Launches D-Fuel: Real-Time Vehicle Fuel Intelligence System to Combat South Africa’s R3.6 Billion Fuel Loss Crisis A new generation of in-tank fuel monitoring gives fleets indisputable visibility, proactive loss prevention and operational accountability South Africa — DigitFMS has officially introduced Digit D-Fuel, an intelligent vehicle fuel monitoring system designed to eliminate uncertainty in fleet fuel management and prevent losses before they occur. Fuel theft and undetected consumption irregularities remain one of the largest hidden operating costs for transport, mining and construction fleets across the country. Industry estimates indicate that fuel adulteration and related crimes cost South Africa approximately R3.6 billion annually, while unmonitored fleets can lose 5% to 15% of total fuel consumption — sometimes exceeding 20%. Digit D-Fuel directly addresses this challenge by measuring fuel inside the tank in real litres, rather than relying on estimated dashboard or CANBUS data. From Estimation to Evidence Traditional fleet fuel monitoring depends on receipts, driver reporting or vehicle ECU readings — all of which detect loss only after it has already happened. Digit D-Fuel changes that model. Installed directly inside the vehicle’s fuel tank, the system continuously measures fuel volume and instantly detects: Refuelling events Abnormal drops Siphoning or theft Fuel leaks Consumption anomalies The data is automatically recorded and transmitted to the cloud in real time, providing fleet managers with verified fuel intelligence without paperwork or manual checks. “Control doesn’t come from trust — it comes from data,” the company states in its product launch briefing. Why Existing Systems Fall Short Many fleet operators rely on CANBUS fuel readings, which are filtered and smoothed by vehicle manufacturers for driver convenience rather than auditing accuracy. These readings …

DigitFMS Expands Franchise Opportunities Across Africa
DigitFMS Expands Franchise Opportunities Across Africa Johannesburg, South Africa: As African economies continue to scale, demand is rising for reliable fleet management, fuel security, and asset protection technologies. Across logistics corridors, mining operations, agriculture, construction, and public sector transport, operational losses linked to fuel theft, vehicle misuse, and limited asset visibility remain a persistent challenge. In response, DigitFMS, one of Africa’s most established fleet and security technology brands, has announced the expansion of its franchise model beyond South Africa—opening exclusive Master Franchise opportunities across selected African countries. A Market Ripe for Scalable Fleet Technology Africa is widely recognised as one of the fastest-growing regions for fleet-based industries. However, many imported tracking and monitoring solutions struggle to perform in African conditions, where unreliable connectivity, vast rural operating areas, and harsh environments are common.

DigitFMS Launches Digit PS Autonomous Vehicle Defence System
DigitFMS Launches Digit PS Autonomous Vehicle Defence System DigitFMS, a leading African fleet management and vehicle security solutions provider, has officially launched Digit PS, an industry-first Autonomous Vehicle Defence System designed to counter modern vehicle theft, hijacking, tampering, and device stripping — without requiring any human action. Unlike traditional vehicle tracking and recovery solutions that rely on driver intervention and reaction time, Digit PS operates autonomously. The system is engineered to detect, decide, and respond to security threats in real time, removing human dependency from the vehicle protection equation. “Vehicle crime has evolved. Criminals no longer evade tracking systems — they actively hunt and neutralise them,” said a spokesperson for DigitFMS. “Digit PS represents a fundamental shift in how vehicles are protected. This is not tracking. This is autonomous defence.” A Response to a Changing Threat Landscape Across South Africa and the African continent, insurers and fleet operators face increasing losses due to highly organised and technologically advanced vehicle crime syndicates. The traditional response — installing multiple tracking and recovery devices — has increased costs while reducing overall effectiveness. Digit PS addresses this challenge by introducing autonomous logic that identifies theft and tampering scenarios and responds instantly, without relying on panic buttons, driver input, or delayed reaction times. How Digit PS Works Digit PS autonomously counters multiple high-risk scenarios, including hijacking, theft while parked, tampering, signal jamming, and device stripping. Once a threat is detected, the system initiates an automated defensive response to protect the vehicle when seconds matter most. Beyond Security: Intelligence-Driven Protection In addition to its defence capabilities, Digit PS functions as a high-level intelligence platform, offering driver behaviour analysis, fuel …
