About Karibia Solutions
Karibia Technology Solutions Limited, based out of Nairobi, Kenya specializes in a variety of speed governor, tracking & logistics services. One of the business units, the Speed Governor product unit helped Karibia achieve the leadership position in the country. Karibia is one of the few vendors approved by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) of Kenya for Speed Governor solutions.
Speed Governors play a critical role in minimizing incidents of high-speed road accidents and collisions. Hence the compliance certificate issued for such Speed Governors must be secure, tamper-proof and verifiable.
Kenya’s National Transport Services Authority [NTSA] mandated that all transport vehicles must be installed with certified speed governor devices, with associated certificates that are secure, tamper-proof and verifiable. Fake certificates on unsafe vehicles had caused accidents leading to loss of lives in addition to monetary losses. By implementing a secure QR code solution, Karibia not only gained the trust of NTSA but also became a leader in the industry in a short time.
Karibia’s Challenge
The biggest challenge that Karibia faced, as one of the largest logistics and fleet management companies in Kenya, was the rampant racket of fake certificates. This affected Karibia’s traditional vehicle tracking certification business since vehicle owners would create a fraudulent Karibia certificate to get financing from banks. Consequently, when the bank checked with Karibia, this would be discovered with negative implications for their credibility and business prospects. With a significantly higher rate of 30 to 50 such fake certificates (for corresponding loan disbursements), their business from banks was shrinking

Solution Summary
1. Qryptal Solution helps them to secure the entire certificate information in the form of a secure QR Code digitally signed with Karibia’s private key
2. This solution is being used for physical certificates that are printed
3. Qryptal provides a comprehensive solution to generate a PDF (having the Qryptal secure QR code) as per Karibia’s templates with both dynamic variable data and static information. This is printed on a special paper by Karibia
4. The solution involved a one-time integration and configuring templates
5. At a later stage, once Karibia can do better system integration, an API call with relevant information can be sent from the MIS and Qryptal will return the finished certificate
