Tango Brook Technologies Limited is expanding its energy technology footprint across Africa, betting on data and digital intelligence to help businesses gain tighter control over fuel spending, fleet operations and generator consumption.
The Nigerian energy technology company, which launched its Tango Fuel App in September 2025, said it has expanded from a fuel management platform into a broader energy technology and intelligence business operating across Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zimbabwe.
The company now serves more than 150 corporate customers, including Flour Mills of Nigeria, Seven-Up Bottling Company, LAGRIDE, United Bank for Africa, CardinalStone and ICS Outsourcing.
Its expansion comes amid growing pressure on businesses to control operating costs and improve visibility over energy consumption, particularly where petrol and diesel remain critical to transportation, power generation and daily operations.
Tango Brook said its growth accelerated significantly between January and August 2026, with wallet funding increasing 12.4 times and revenue growing by 46.7 per cent.
App transactions and active transacting cards also increased 3.4 times during the period.
At the heart of the company’s model is the Tango Fuel App, which combines payment cards with fuel tracking technology to enable businesses to monitor and control fuel transactions.
The platform is designed to provide organisations with greater visibility into fuel expenditure, allowing finance and operations teams to track transactions and identify unusual consumption patterns.
According to the company, the goal is to address the gaps created by manual fuel management processes, which can make it difficult for businesses to establish how much fuel is being consumed, where it is being used and whether expenditure corresponds with operational activity.
Chairman of Tango Brook Technologies Limited, Peter Atuma, said the company was created around the need to solve the accountability challenge in energy spending.
“Across emerging economies, organisations spend billions on petrol and diesel to power vehicles, generators and operations, yet rely on manual processes that create fraud, leakages and zero visibility,” he said.
Beyond fuel payments, Tango Brook has introduced Tango Fleet Management and Tango GenVault as it broadens its technology offering.
Tango Fleet Management uses telematics and fleet intelligence to provide vehicle tracking, route optimisation and operational visibility, while Tango GenVault monitors generator runtime, diesel consumption, refuelling events and unusual consumption patterns.
The integration of the three platforms gives businesses access to data covering fuel transactions, vehicles, generators and energy consumption.
Tango Brook said the combination is intended to give finance and operations teams real-time visibility into energy expenditure and operational assets, while providing data that can support better decision-making.
The development marks a transition for the company from fuel and fleet management into the broader energy technology and intelligence space.
Managing Director, Africa, Obiajulu Wemambu, said building the infrastructure, partnerships and governance required for expansion had been one of the company’s major milestones.
He pointed to Tango Brook’s ISO 27001:2022 certification as evidence of its focus on information security, customer trust and international standards.
“One of the most significant milestones in our journey has been the development of the infrastructure, partnerships, and governance required to scale beyond our original market,” Wemambu said.
He said the company was positioning itself for a pan-African future, with its technology being adapted to different energy, mobility and commercial environments across the continent.
Chief Executive Officer, Tango Brook Technologies Nigeria, David Ita, who assumed leadership in January 2026, said the company had rebuilt its technology architecture and strengthened key partnerships as part of its expansion.
“We had to rebuild our technology architecture, strengthen critical partnerships, and navigate resource constraints. The market has validated that work,” Ita said.
Tango Brook said it has established entities in five African markets as it works towards building an African technology company with global ambitions.
As it enters its second year, the company plans to deepen its use of data intelligence and predictive analytics, expand local teams and partnerships in its new markets, and develop products targeted at SMEs and individuals seeking greater control over energy costs.
The company’s broader strategy reflects an emerging shift in energy management from simply recording expenditure to using technology to understand consumption, detect anomalies and improve operational efficiency.
For Tango Brook, fuel is therefore becoming more than a payment transaction. It is increasingly a source of operational data that can help businesses understand, manage and optimise one of their most significant recurring costs.
