Tensor Planet
About

Fleet health and vehicle uptime is all we do.

Tensor Planet catches fleet breakdowns weeks ahead, no new hardware. It is based out of New Jersey and is a member of the organizations below, where we volunteer and speak.

What we do

Catch the breakdown weeks early. Hand the shop the fix.

Tensor Planet reads your existing telematics and maintenance data, flags failures two to three weeks out, and writes the work order. Four things set it apart.

  1. From alert to action, ready for your team

    The moment a risk is flagged, a work order lands in the maintenance system for your team to schedule into the next PM. A $50 fix caught 21 days out beats a $5,000 repair on the roadside.

  2. Decisions in dollars, not fault codes

    Every flagged issue carries its repair cost and the revenue at risk if it waits. Each one resolved adds to a running total of cost avoided, ready for the budget conversation.

  3. One clear instruction for the technician

    Each alert comes with a single, specific fix in plain language, so a technician without years on that engine family can act on it straight away.

  4. No new tool, no behavior change

    No hardware, no workflow overhaul, no months of integration. We plug into Samsara, Geotab, Motive, Verizon Connect, RTA Fleet, Fleetio or Whip Around and put alerts where technicians already work.

Brains Behind The Product

Where fleet expertise meets AI engineering.

Our team spans telematics specialists, AI engineers, product leaders and fleet experts, with years spent building AI models and intelligent vehicle systems.
