Operational intelligence audit for Ghana fleet operations
Darikoda · Operational Audit

Find out what your operation is actually leaking.

Most fleet operations know money is walking out. They just cannot always prove where.

Thirty minutes with Theo. One-page leakage map. Three prioritised fixes. You keep it regardless of next steps.

Reply within the hour during UK and Ghana business hours

The free 30-min Operational Audit produces a one-page leakage map and three prioritised fixes for your operation. You keep the map regardless of next steps.

How the leak shows up.

Fuel numbers that do not add up. A machine that sat too long, accumulating idle time. A cert that took three weeks longer than it should. Parts that keep delaying the workshop. Approval cycles that slow the business down.

You can feel it. You cannot always prove it. The audit is built to map the leak so you can.

The free audit

Thirty minutes. One page. Your leak named.

A structured conversation off your site, no data room needed, that ends with a one-page leakage map you keep regardless of next steps.

What we look at

The reality of your operation, not just what the spreadsheet says.

In thirty minutes, we walk through the operating layer of your business:

  • How the fleet is currently tracked
  • How fuel is logged at dispense and reconciled at month-end
  • How operator hours are captured and attributed
  • How work orders move through the workshop
  • How approvals happen across sites, contracts, and chainages
  • How month-end reporting gets prepared

We walk the operating layer where the leak hides: fuel at dispense, hours at the event, work orders through the shop, approvals across sites and chainages.

Specific to your fleet size, your contract structure, and your reporting cadence. Not a generic walkthrough.

What you leave with

A one-page leakage map. Three prioritised fixes. No pressure.

By the end of the thirty minutes, you have:

  • A one-page leakage map.

    Where your operation is losing money, ranked by likely commercial impact, based on the operating flow we map in the call.

  • Three prioritised fixes.

    What to tackle first, with the rough magnitude of the recovery.

  • An honest fit assessment.

    Whether Darikoda is right for your stage, or whether you should fix something simpler first.

  • No pressure to continue.

    You keep the report regardless of next steps.

What a leakage map looks like

One page. Your leaks, named and ranked.

Example format only. Your audit uses your own numbers.

Fuel

Evidence gap
Litres not tied to a machine or operator
Commercial risk
Variance absorbed at month-end
First fix
Dispense record with operator PIN and machine

Hours

Evidence gap
Tracker and timesheet disagree
Commercial risk
Billable hours disputed
First fix
Shift-level machine-hour record, attributed

Downtime

Evidence gap
Cause recorded after the fact
Commercial risk
Idle cost buried in a single breakdown line
First fix
Downtime reason captured at the event

Cert evidence

Evidence gap
Chainage proof reconstructed late
Commercial risk
IPC cut or delayed
First fix
Section-level evidence pack

The 30-minute audit produces this for your operation, ranked by likely commercial impact. You keep it regardless of next steps.

Book it if

You run a live fleet and you have a fuel, hours, downtime, deduction, cert or approval problem, and you want to know where the operating leak is before buying anything.

Skip it if

You only want a generic software demo. The audit maps your operation, it is not a product walkthrough.

How it works

Five steps from first message to leakage map in hand.

  1. Send a WhatsApp message.

    Tap the WhatsApp button below. The message is pre-filled, edit it if you want, then send.

  2. Theo replies with 2 to 3 windows.

    Usually within the hour during UK and Ghana business hours. Pick the one that fits.

  3. 30-minute call.

    We walk through the operating layer of your business: how the fleet is tracked, how fuel is logged, how approvals happen, how month-end gets built.

  4. Leakage map drafted live.

    By the end of the call, you see the one-page leakage map. Three prioritised fixes ranked by recovery size.

  5. Map sent within 24 hours.

    Cleaned-up version emailed to you. You keep it regardless of what happens next.

Built for the ground reality

Built for the way Ghana sites actually run.

Patchy connectivity, WhatsApp approvals, mixed fleets, manual bowser logs. The audit starts where the work actually happens.

Ghana, specifically

Why a Ghana-specific audit matters.

In Ghana, the gap between the site and the office is where the margin disappears. Patchy connectivity at remote sites. WhatsApp-heavy approval cycles. Mixed fleets with mixed parts lead times. Manual paper trails at the bowser. Cert cycles that take weeks rather than days.

A generic software demo cannot solve this. The audit starts with the reality on the ground.

The audit starts where the work actually happens, not in the boardroom: the site, the mixed fleet, and the gap to head office where the leak lives.

Paid deep dive option

For operations that need a deeper diagnostic.

The free thirty-minute audit covers the operating-layer map. For operations that need more depth, there is a paid on-site Deep Operational Audit.

  • Half-day on-site review
  • Mutual NDA before any data is shared
  • Access to anonymised operational data with PIN-level worker attribution
  • Written diagnostic report with quantified leakage in cedis
  • Clear next-step recommendations, ranked by return
  • Quoted per scope (not per fleet size)

This is the right step for operations carrying serious contract exposure (Big Push, multi-site mining, multi-project construction). The deep audit pre-qualifies the Build & Activation phase.

Commercial structure

Engagements are structured as a fixed-fee Build & Activation phase followed by an ongoing subscription. The specific number comes out of the audit, calibrated to your fleet, contract structure, and reporting cadence.

What happens after the audit

From the free map to a live operating record.

  1. 01

    Fit, or no fit.

    Once you have the free map, an honest call on whether Darikoda is worth it for your operation.

  2. 02

    Optional Deep Audit.

    For operations carrying serious contract exposure. Half-day on-site, paid.

  3. 03

    Build & Activation.

    Fixed fee. The operating record configured to your operation, signed off on readiness.

  4. 04

    Pilot.

    Proves operational value in your live contracts.

  5. 05

    Ongoing subscription.

    Once the pilot proves out.

Everything up to the leakage map is free. You go further only if it proves worth it.

Audit FAQ.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. The 30-minute Operational Audit is free and no-obligation. You leave with a one-page leakage map you can act on whether or not you work with Darikoda.

What happens during the 30 minutes?

Theo maps the current flow across fuel, hours, work orders, approvals, and month-end reporting. Then identifies the three highest-leverage fixes for your specific operation.

Do I need to share confidential data?

No. The free audit is a structured conversation, not a data-handover. The paid Deep Operational Audit can be done under mutual NDA with anonymised operational data.

What size operation is this for?

It varies by vertical, not by a fixed fleet size. Mining contractors on day-works can qualify from around 3 heavy assets. Plant hire firms from around 20. Construction and civils main contractors typically run 50 or more across multiple projects. The common thread is contract structure or fuel exposure that justifies operational intelligence. The audit gives you an honest fit assessment either way.

How fast can I book?

Usually within 72 hours. WhatsApp Theo directly if you need same-day.

What's the difference between the free audit and the paid Deep Audit?

The free audit is a 30-minute structured conversation, off your site, that produces a one-page leakage map. The Deep Audit is a half-day on-site review under NDA, with anonymised data access, producing a written diagnostic report with cedi-quantified leakage. Free audit qualifies whether the Deep Audit is worth it.

Find the leak. Keep the map.

The first 30 minutes are free. The one-page leakage map is yours regardless of what happens next.

Patterns described here are drawn from extensive field audits and industry research across Ghana's mining, construction, roadworks, and quarry sectors. No specific operator is named or identifiable.
