Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, and Volvo each ship their own OEM telematics platform  SmartLINQ, TruckTech+, Detroit Connect, Volvo Connect. Each one is excellent at reading its own trucks and useless at reading the others. In a mixed fleet, that's four portals, four logins, four defect streams. Our Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software pulls all four onto one timeline per VIN. Contact our team to connect your OEMs.

OEM Telematics Integration: Peterbilt, Kenworth & Freightliner

Our software connects to each OEM's native telematics platform, pulls mileage, engine hours, fault codes, and location onto a per-VIN record, then raises graded work orders the moment any signal demands one — regardless of what badge is on the hood.

The Four OEM Platforms — What Each One Ships

Each major OEM runs its own telematics system, with its own portal and data model. Our software connects to each so you keep what the OEM does well — and get a unified fleet view on top.

The mixed-fleet problem Four OEMs = four portals, four logins, four fault-code streams. A dispatcher cannot sit on four screens; a shop foreman cannot copy DTCs into the WO system by hand. Our software is the one layer sitting on top of all four.

The Data Layer — What Comes Out of Every OEM Feed

Underneath their branding, every OEM telematics platform exposes a similar data set — most of it standardized on SAE J1939. Our software reads the common data and the OEM-specific extras.

How Our Software Wires the OEM to the Shop

Integration is not a one-way read — it is a loop. OEM data comes in, our software decides what matters, a graded work order goes out, the repair closes with proof, and the next OEM read confirms it.

01OEM Portal

SmartLINQ / TruckTech+ / Detroit Connect / Volvo Connect streams live data per VIN

→
02API Pull

Our software reads mileage, hours, DTCs, location — on the OEM's own refresh cadence

→
03Grade & Route

Our software grades the signal (safety-critical / scheduled / monitor) and raises a WO

→
04Close with Proof

Mechanic closes the WO with parts, labor, photos — the record ties back to the DTC that started it

Start free and run the OEM-to-shop loop on your fleet.

What Integrated OEM Data Actually Powers

Pulling the data is not the point — using it is. Six jobs our software runs on OEM data the moment it lands.

01Automatic PM triggers

Live mileage and engine hours fire the next oil service on first-hit — no odometer calls to drivers.

02DTC → graded WO

Every J1939 fault becomes a graded, routable work order with context — not a code sitting in an OEM portal.

03Pre-derate catches

DPF soot, DEF faults, NOx sensor flags routed to the shop before the truck limps.

04Idle-adjusted schedule

Hour-heavy units shift to engine-hour intervals automatically from the OEM feed.

05Mixed-fleet reporting

Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo on one dashboard — not four portals.

06Audit-ready history

Every DTC, every WO, every repair tied to the VIN — a full file for the next FMCSA review.

One Software. Every OEM Portal. One Record Per Truck.

Our Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software connects to SmartLINQ, TruckTech+, Detroit Connect, and Volvo Connect, reads live mileage, engine hours, and fault codes per VIN, raises graded work orders the moment a signal demands one, and keeps the full repair history behind each truck. A mixed fleet that stops being four portals and starts being one program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your software replace Peterbilt SmartLINQ or Detroit Connect?
No — our software runs alongside them. Keep SmartLINQ, TruckTech+, Detroit Connect, or Volvo Connect for warranty telematics and dealer service, and let our software pull their live data (mileage, engine hours, DTCs) onto one unified fleet record for PM, DVIR, work orders, and compliance. Start free and layer our software over your OEM portals.
What data does an OEM telematics integration actually bring in?
Live mileage, engine hours, J1939 fault codes (SPN/FMI pairs), location, fuel use, idle time, aftertreatment status (DPF/DEF/NOx), and driver behavior metrics — the exact set depends on the OEM platform and the truck's option content. Our software reads whatever the OEM exposes and maps it to its per-VIN record.
Can you integrate a mixed fleet of different OEMs?
Yes — that's one of the main reasons fleets integrate at all. Our software connects to Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, International, and major aftermarket telematics providers in one place, so a mixed-brand fleet runs as one program instead of four or five portals.
How does integrated OEM data help with DOT compliance?
Live mileage from the OEM feed means PM triggers fire on the real odometer, not a phoned-in guess. Fault codes become graded work orders instead of ignored portal entries. Every DTC, DVIR, PM, and annual inspection sits in one filterable file per VIN — ready for an FMCSA audit under 49 CFR Part 396 in seconds. Contact our team to walk the compliance file on your fleet.
