Tensor Planet vs Intangles: no device to fit.
Intangles fits its own device in every vehicle. Tensor Planet reads the telematics and work orders you already have, so there is nothing to install.

The difference is a device in the OBD-II port.
Intangles
Intangles runs on InGenious, its own hardware, which plugs into the OBD-II port of each vehicle and reads ECU data directly. That is a unit per vehicle that someone has to fit and keep track of.
Tensor Planet
Tensor Planet installs nothing. We take a read-only key to the telematics already on the vehicle, plus six months of work order history. There is no install window and no hardware to source.
Four things worth checking before you sign either one.
| Intangles | Tensor Planet | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the data comes from | Its own InGenious device in each vehicle’s OBD-II port, reading ECU data directly. | The telematics feed you already pay for, plus your work order history, through a read-only key. |
| What goes on the vehicle | A unit per vehicle, fitted per vehicle. | Nothing. |
| What your shop receives | Alerts in the Intangles platform. | A work order in the maintenance system your shop already opens, with the recommended action for the technician. |
| How you try it on your own fleet | Starts with a demo request through its site. | A free one-week diagnostic on your own data, with the at-risk vehicles and the dollars attached. |

When Tensor Planet is the better call.
A fleet already running Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect or similar is already generating the data early failure detection needs. A second device buys a data feed you are already paying for.
- You do not want a second device fitted, tracked and replaced on every vehicle.
- You want the fix as a work order in the maintenance system your shop already opens.
- You want to see it work on your own data, free, before you sign anything.

We did not have to install any new hardware to get Tensor Planet set up. They were able to use everything that we already had in place.
Straight answers.
Which fleets can benefit from Tensor Planet?
Tensor Planet works across light, medium, and heavy duty commercial vehicles, including mixed fleets with different makes, models, and duty cycles.
What types of vehicle failures does your product detect currently?
We detect early failures in core vehicle systems such as the engine, aftertreatment, and many other systems.
Our telematics already gives us fault codes. Why do we need Tensor Planet?
Fault codes usually show up after a problem has already escalated. Tensor Planet detects degradation earlier, before failures turn into breakdowns.
How are you different from other predictive maintenance companies?
Tensor Planet detects and diagnoses failures 2 to 3 weeks early, creates work orders in existing systems, and helps technicians fix the issue with specific recommendations.
Which telematics and maintenance systems do you support?
We work with major telematics providers such as Samsara, Geotab, Motive, and Verizon Connect, and with maintenance platforms such as RTA Fleet, Whip Around, and Fleetio, through API-based integrations.
See it on your own vehicles before you choose.
Our diagnostic is free, takes a week, and runs on data you already have. You end it with the list of vehicles likely to fail in the next two to three weeks, whatever you decide to buy.
