Maintenance, Repairs & Service Contracts for Industrial Equipment

Afrivex Equipment provides professional maintenance, breakdown support and service contracts for forklifts, mining equipment, port equipment, construction machinery and material handling fleets across South Africa.

Smart technician dispatch

Uber-Style Equipment Support, Built for Industrial Operations

Afrivex operates a smart digital technician dispatch system that works similarly to Uber — but for forklifts, mining equipment, port equipment, construction machinery and industrial fleets.

When a breakdown is logged, the Afrivex platform identifies the nearest qualified technician based on location, equipment type and technical skill. The technician receives the job instantly on mobile, accepts the call, and live tracking begins automatically.

Customers can track technician movement in real time, receive live status updates, approve repairs digitally and access completed job cards, inspection reports and service history.

How it works

From contract to back-online in nine tracked steps

  1. 01

    Sign a Contract / SLA

    Customer and Afrivex agree the service contract or SLA — coverage, response times, rates and equipment list — so dispatch can begin.

  2. 02

    Log a breakdown

    Customer logs the call through the Afrivex platform in seconds — equipment, location and severity captured automatically.

  3. 03

    Closest qualified technician located

    The system finds the nearest technician with the right skills for the equipment type — no manual dispatching.

  4. 04

    Technician accepts on mobile

    The job hits the technician's mobile app instantly. They accept and confirm ETA back to your team.

  5. 05

    Live GPS tracking begins

    Watch the technician en-route in real time, just like you would on a ride-hailing app.

  6. 06

    On-site inspection

    Technician arrives, runs a structured digital inspection and captures the condition of the equipment.

  7. 07

    Photos & job card uploaded

    Findings, parts required and photo evidence are uploaded to the platform for full transparency.

  8. 08

    Customer approves digitally

    Quote and scope of work are sent for digital approval — no paperwork, no phone tag.

  9. 09

    Work completed & closed out

    Job is closed digitally with a full record kept against the machine for future reference.
