Intangles, an predictive maintenance platform for the trucking industry, announced InRoute Connect, a new aspect of its predictive maintenance platform which allows fleet managers to act on predictive alert warnings while trucks are on the road.

According to Intangles, after a user receives a predictive alert warning that there’s an issue with a vehicle, Intagles says the fleet manager can act immediately to direct the truck to a preferred maintenance shop on the truck’s route right from the Intangles platform.

“Fleet owners can’t afford to have their trucks broken down by the side of the road or spend time scrambling to find a suitable repair shop on the route,” said Alan McMillan, president of Intangles, Americas. “InRoute Connect leverages our AI-powered insights and marries them to a network of maintenance shops across North America. Intangles’ predictive alerts coupled with InRoute Connect allow fleet managers to turn predictive insights into action, and avoid having an impact on the truck’s delivery schedule.”

Intangles adds that its predictive maintenance platform detects issues with a vehicle before a truck’s diagnostic trouble code is triggered, giving fleet managers time before a breakdown to act on the alert and direct the driver to a nearby service facility. Intangles says the technology is now installed in 175,000 vehicles globally.

InRoute Connect includes the following features highlighted by the company:

• A database of registered service centers across North America;
• The ability for fleets to choose preferred service centers in the platform;
• A list of services at any given service location;
• Functionality that allows for users to rate and comment on preferred service stations (ratings are kept private and segregated by account to keep reviews honest);
• Routing instructions and service center contact information; and
• The ability for customers and service providers to upload their location information into InRoute Connect.
