A device that protects, tracks and alerts

On a moto-taxi there's no room for a bulky tracker, but you still need every protection a professional vehicle demands. Compagnon Mini is calibrated for this trade-off: 13 critical functions in 50 grams.

Anti-theft

Smart anti-theft

Motion + unauthorized ignition detection. Owner and server alerted within a second. SMS/push notification if the bike moves without a valid key.

  • Automatic parking mode
  • Parking geofence (zone-exit alert)
  • Continuous tracking if theft is in progress
Safety

Crash detection

6-axis MPU6050 with Kalman filtering. If a critical acceleration threshold is hit (fall, impact), an emergency alert is automatically sent to the Malambi Taxi control center.

  • GPS position of the impact
  • Optional 117 / emergency-contacts notification
  • No button to press after the crash
Score

Server-scored driving

The device sends events (speeding, hard braking, aggressive cornering) to the Malambi server, which computes a driver score — usable for Taximan rankings or bonuses.

  • 3 event types detected
  • 30-day history on the platform
  • Buzzer notifier + server alarms
Mesh

ESP-NOW between bikes

Multiple bikes from the same fleet can communicate as a mesh (2.4 GHz radio) without relying on 4G. Useful for convoys or zones without coverage.

  • Locate fellow riders nearby
  • Propagated alerts (radar, accident)
  • 4G relay: one bike without signal goes through another
Storage

Offline buffer

If the device loses 4G in a rural area, GPS positions are stored locally (SQLite WAL with recovery) and automatically resynced when the network returns.

  • No ride is lost
  • Automatic resume, no intervention needed
  • Recovery survives power outages
BOM

$8 to $12 BOM

Designed in Douala for the African market — not a rebadged OEM. Aggressively optimized BOM lets you equip whole moto-taxi fleets without breaking the unit economics.

  • ESP32-C3 RISC-V (low cost)
  • Volume discount above 50 units
  • 5-min installation under the seat
