Intangles, an AI-powered predictive maintenance platform for the trucking industry, has launched InRoute Connect, a product designed to speed up the turnaround time for commercial vehicles requiring maintenance on the road.
When an Intangles-powered fleet receives a predictive alert warning of a vehicle issue, the fleet manager can direct the truck to a preferred maintenance shop on the truck’s route 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.”

By detecting problems with a vehicle before a truck’s diagnostic trouble code is triggered, Intangles’ predictive maintenance platform allows fleet managers to direct drivers to a nearby service facility before the truck breaks down. Using patented and proprietary algorithms and software and hardware architecture, the technology helps Intangles clients avoid expensive repairs and towing charges and reduces downtime.
InRoute Connect includes:
- A robust 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 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
- The ability for customers and service providers to upload their location information into InRoute Connect
“We designed InRoute Connect as a foundation to give fleets complete visibility and control over the repair and maintenance process from beginning to end,” McMillan said. “Managing a fleet can be stressful. InRoute Connect puts the power and control over the entire process in their hands. Like all of our products, InRoute Connect is structured to make truck maintenance and repair as easy as possible.”
