Our product predicts maintenance problems in trucks weeks in advance that allows our customers (fleet managers and owners) to better manage unscheduled repairs, thus keeping their trucks on the road and not on the side of the road.

6. Truckish

Founded: 2017

“Truckish is a comprehensive SaaS platform that integrates the tools that trucking companies need into a single, convenient, and affordable system.

Problem:
Although carriers with fleets of 20 trucks or less make up over 92% of all trucking companies in the United States, they must compete with larger fleets without the benefit of the premium-priced software tools and economies of scale savings available to their more resourced competitors. Thus, many carriers juggle multiple software subscriptions and/or manual processes to carry out their day-to-day fleet and business operations. Synthesizing the various outputs from separate tools costs small business owners time and money that could be better utilized elsewhere.”
