Our Tailored AI Forecasting Built for Your Fleet
With over a decade in logistics AI, we've empowered 50+ trucking firms to achieve industry-leading accuracy in parts forecasting.
Why Choose Us
Generic inventory tools fail trucking companies—they ignore the chaos of variable routes, weather disruptions, and regulatory shifts. We build custom AI models from scratch, integrating your telematics data, historical maintenance logs, and real-time route analytics. This creates a flexible system that predicts demand for critical spares like brakes or engines with 92% accuracy, ensuring your rigs stay rolling without excess capital locked in warehouses.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Trucking Operations
Minimize Downtime with Precise Predictions
Minimize Downtime with Precise Predictions: Our AI analyzes historical breakdown patterns from ELD telematics and route mileage data to forecast parts needs, reducing unplanned roadside stops by 45%. For a 50-truck fleet averaging 100,000 miles annually, that's 200 fewer hours of idle time, preventing $15,000 in lost revenue per incident from delayed LTL shipments.
Optimize Cash Flow by Cutting Overstock
Optimize Cash Flow by Cutting Overstock: Eliminate tying up $100,000+ in unused inventory for high-turnover items like brake pads. Custom models incorporate seasonal peaks such as harvest hauls in the Midwest or holiday surges on I-95, ensuring you stock just enough—freeing funds for bulk diesel purchases or adding flatbed trailers while maintaining 99% parts availability for OTR drivers.
Streamline Maintenance Scheduling
Streamline Maintenance Scheduling: Predictive insights automate reorder alerts integrated with your drivers' electronic logs and CMMS, slashing manual checks by 60%. This enables faster turnarounds at satellite yards, with real-time adjustments for disruptions like I-80 winter closures or FMCSA inspection holds, keeping your fleet's CSA scores optimal.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were constantly short on oil filters and air brakes during summer cross-state rushes, costing us up to two days per truck in downtime and delaying perishable loads. Their custom forecast integrated our ELD data with route analytics and cut our stockouts by 50% in just three months—now our 120 rigs maintain 98% uptime on Midwest lanes."
Mike Harlan
Fleet Manager, Midwest Freight Lines
"Overstocking tires and alignments was draining our margins, especially with volatile cross-border loads from Mexico to the Southwest. The AI model they developed for us leverages our route GPS and fuel telematics to predict exact needs, saving us $45K in inventory costs last year alone. It's like having a dedicated dispatch for parts procurement."
Sara Lopez
Operations Director, Horizon Trucking
"We were buried in spreadsheets tracking engine parts and clutches across our 80-truck fleet, but errors spiked during peak seasons like Q4 e-commerce surges. AIQ's solution ingested our maintenance history from TMW systems and supplier EDI feeds—boosting forecast accuracy to 95% and letting us proactively stage parts at key depots instead of scrambling after breakdowns."
Tom Reilly
Supply Chain Lead, Apex Logistics
Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Data Mapping
We audit your fleet's telematics, maintenance records, and supply chains to pinpoint forecasting gaps. This tailored assessment ensures the AI aligns with your exact routes and rig types.
Custom Model Development
Our engineers build and train AI models using your historical data, incorporating variables like weather impacts on hauls. We iterate until predictions match your workflow perfectly.
Integration and Launch
Seamlessly embed the system into your operations with custom dashboards and alerts. We provide hands-on training, then monitor performance to refine forecasts over the first 90 days.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting handle variable trucking routes?
Our custom AI ingests GPS and ELD data from your fleet to model route-specific demands. For instance, if your trucks frequently run I-95 corridors with higher wear from traffic, the system weights those patterns heavily. We train on your historical breakdowns, achieving forecasts that adapt to changes like new contracts or seasonal shifts. This beats generic tools by 30% in accuracy for dynamic logistics, ensuring you stock for actual usage—not averages. Implementation starts with a data audit, and we fine-tune over 60 days for optimal fit.
What data sources do you integrate for trucking inventory?
We pull from your core systems: telematics for mileage and location, maintenance logs for part usage history, and TMS for load details. Add in external factors like weather APIs or fuel price feeds to predict impacts on breakdowns. For a reefer fleet, we'd include temperature logs affecting engine strain. Everything flows into a unified model via secure APIs, creating a single truth source. No manual uploads—it's automated, reducing errors by 70% and giving dispatchers instant visibility into parts needs across yards.
Can this scale if my trucking company expands?
Absolutely. Our architecture is built modular, so adding trucks or routes triggers automatic model retraining without downtime. We've scaled solutions for clients from 30 to 150 rigs in under a year, maintaining 95% uptime. Unlike subscription platforms that charge per user, you own the system—expand freely. We include performance benchmarks in the contract, monitoring key metrics like forecast error rates to ensure it handles growth seamlessly, from regional hauls to national operations.
How accurate are the forecasts for spare parts like tires?
We target 90-95% accuracy by combining machine learning with your domain data—think tire wear correlated to load weights and terrains. Industry benchmarks show trucking firms average 75% with off-the-shelf tools; ours exceeds that through customization. For example, a client saw tire stockouts drop from 15% to 2% after integrating their dashcam analytics. We validate with backtesting on your past 24 months of data, then deploy with ongoing adjustments to hit your SLA, minimizing overbuying on high-cost items.
What's the timeline for implementing this in our fleet?
From consultation to live system: 8-12 weeks for most trucking ops. Week 1-2: Deep dive into your data and workflows. Weeks 3-6: Build and test the AI model with your inputs. Weeks 7-8: Integrate and train your team. Post-launch, we monitor for 30 days, tweaking for nuances like vendor lead times. This phased approach ensures minimal disruption—your dispatchers see value in pilot testing on 20% of the fleet first. Faster than piecing together tools, with ownership from day one.
Do you address regulatory compliance in forecasting?
Yes, we embed FMCSA and DOT rules into the models, like ensuring inventory supports HOS compliance by predicting parts for timely repairs. Audits become effortless with automated reports on stock levels and reorder histories. For hazmat haulers, we factor in special equipment needs under 49 CFR. This proactive design avoids fines— one client reduced compliance risks by 40% after implementation. Our engineers stay current on regs, updating the system annually to keep your operations audit-ready without extra effort.
