AI for Fleet Management

We build the backend that runs your fleet operation.

We delete the software you do not use, connect what is left, and install the systems and AI that run dispatch, routing, maintenance, and driver compliance. In 30 days your fleet runs on systems, not on you. You own it.

What TMI Builds

The entire fleet operation, on one system.

Not six point tools bolted together. One operating system that runs every lane, from the first work request to collected cash, built for how a fleet actually runs.

Front office

Work Request Intake

Every job, pickup, and service request lands in one queue with location, time window, and load requirements attached. Nothing gets lost between a phone call and the dispatch board.

Front office

Route & Dispatch Optimization

Routes and stops sequence by real-time location, load capacity, and customer windows, and update as traffic, new pickups, or cancellations change. More deliveries per truck per day with less fuel burned.

Front office

Driver Assignment

Jobs match to the closest qualified driver by hours available, certification, and equipment. The board fills itself instead of a dispatcher working the phones to figure out who can take what.

Field

Preventive Maintenance

Service schedules build from mileage, engine hours, and predictive risk per vehicle, set into planned downtime. Parts orders trigger before the service date so a truck does not sit waiting on a part.

Field

DVIR & Repair Orders

Driver vehicle inspection reports flow straight into repair work orders, with defects tied to the unit. A flagged brake or tire becomes a tracked job, not a note that gets lost between shifts.

Field

Telematics & GPS

A live asset map shows every vehicle's location, status, and utilization. Idle units flag automatically and unauthorized movement triggers alerts, and dispatch uses the same live position to assign work.

Money

Cost-Per-Mile Billing

Service-billed jobs invoice off actual miles, hours, and stops run, at the agreed rate. The number the customer sees matches what the truck actually did, with nothing left off.

Money

Fuel & Asset Costing

Fuel card spend, maintenance cost, and utilization post per vehicle so you see true cost per mile by unit. Underperforming trucks and unprofitable routes surface instead of hiding in a fleet average.

Money

Collections

Open invoices age in one view with the job and customer attached. The system flags what is past terms so receivables get worked before they turn into a write-off.

Compliance

DOT & ELD Hours

Hours of Service, ELD logs, license and inspection expirations track in one place and flag violations before they become citations. When a DOT audit hits, you produce records in minutes, not days.

People

Driver Safety

Safety events, training, and certification status track per driver so a lapsed qualification never makes it behind the wheel. The record sits on the same system, not in a folder no one updates.

Command

One Dashboard

Dispatch, maintenance, compliance, and cost pull into one daily picture. Ownership sees where the fleet stands without anyone manually pulling data from three separate systems.

How TMI Compares

Operations infrastructure. Not another telematics dashboard.

How It Works

Three steps from audit to live fleet operations.

01

Complete Audit

We map your current dispatch workflow, telematics setup, maintenance process, compliance gaps, and fuel cost exposure. You get a complete operational analysis, quantified cost savings projection, and a specific build plan for your fleet.

02

Build

TMI builds the dispatch automation, predictive maintenance models, and compliance tracking against your actual fleet data - your vehicle types, routes, customer requirements, and existing telematics systems. Three to six weeks. Built to the way your fleet operation actually runs, not adapted from a generic template.

03

Install and Hand Off

Systems go live. Dispatchers, drivers, and maintenance staff get trained on the controls. One to two weeks. Dispatch automation shows immediate results from the first week. Predictive maintenance accuracy improves over 60 to 90 days as models learn your fleet's patterns. You own the infrastructure with no per-seat fees.

FAQ

Questions about AI for fleet management.

The most impactful intelligent systems for fleet management are predictive maintenance - preventing breakdowns before they strand assets on the road - and autonomous dispatch with route optimization that reduces fuel consumption and driver idle time. Together, these two systems address the two largest cost categories in fleet operations. Most operators see the project return inside the first year from fuel savings and maintenance cost reduction alone.

Autonomous dispatch assigns jobs to drivers based on real-time location, availability, load capacity, driver certification, and customer time windows. The system optimizes routes dynamically as conditions change - traffic, new pickups, cancellations - without a dispatcher manually reassigning. Your dispatchers stop spending their day on phone calls and spreadsheets and start managing exceptions instead of routine assignments.

TMI builds predictive models that monitor vehicle telemetry - engine diagnostics, brake wear, tire pressure trends, transmission behavior - and identify failure patterns before breakdowns happen. A roadside breakdown costs three to five times more than a scheduled shop visit when you factor in towing, emergency repair rates, and the delivery that does not get made. Predicting failures and scheduling maintenance during planned downtime eliminates those costs.

Driver compliance tracking monitors Hours of Service regulations, license and certification expiration, vehicle inspection requirements, and safety protocol adherence. The system flags violations before they become regulatory issues and generates compliance reports automatically. When a DOT audit happens, you produce records in minutes instead of spending days assembling log books from multiple sources. Compliance stops being a scramble.

Samsara is hardware and software your team manages. TMI builds systems that run your fleet operation. Samsara provides data and dashboards - your dispatchers still make the decisions. TMI builds the automation layer that acts on that data: dispatch assignments happen automatically, maintenance alerts trigger work orders, compliance violations escalate before they become citations. TMI is built around your specific operation and routes, not a generic fleet platform.

Yes. TMI builds fleet systems that handle mixed asset types - trucks, vans, specialty equipment, trailers - with different maintenance schedules, compliance requirements, and dispatch rules for each asset type. The dispatch system understands load capacity and job requirements and matches the right asset to each job automatically. Each asset type gets its own maintenance model and compliance tracking rules.

Yes. TMI integrates with existing ELD providers and pulls HOS data into the compliance monitoring layer. If you have an existing telematics provider, TMI builds on top of that data rather than requiring you to replace it. The goal is to connect the data you already have into a unified system that acts on it automatically - not to add another hardware layer to your operation.

Most fleet operators are fully operational in 6 to 10 weeks. The Audit takes two weeks to map your current dispatch process, telematics setup, maintenance workflows, and compliance gaps. Build runs three to six weeks depending on fleet size and integration complexity. Installation and driver onboarding takes one to two weeks. Dispatch automation shows measurable results from the first week of operation.

Every engagement starts with the Complete Audit. The Audit maps your current operation, quantifies your fuel waste and maintenance cost exposure, and produces a specific build plan with ROI projections. Full project scope is determined after the Audit based on fleet size, existing systems, and the capabilities prioritized.

TMI connects to your telematics and GPS data and builds a live asset map that shows vehicle location, status, and utilization in real time. Idle vehicles are flagged automatically. Unauthorized movement triggers alerts. Asset utilization reports show which vehicles are underused and which are being overworked. The dispatch system uses live location data to assign the nearest available and qualified asset to each job without dispatcher intervention.
