Phillips Connect has launched a new integration with McLeod Software that brings real-time smart trailer insights directly into the McLeod Transportation Management System (TMS).
The integration delivers critical data including tire, light and brake condition, location and advanced AI-powered freight intelligence to help fleets gain a clearer and more complete picture of their operations.
The integration, now available to fleets in North America, addresses a long-standing industry challenge: trailers are treated as invisible “boxes on wheels” that create costly blind spots in fleet operations.
The partnership marks Phillips Connect’s first step in a broader platform strategy aimed at delivering smart trailer insights within the software systems already in use. Phillips Connect CargoVision uses an AI-powered camera to show planners and dispatchers exactly what’s inside each trailer, including volumetric measurements that support accurate load planning for part shipments and multi-stop operations.
“Having Phillips Connect smart trailer data flow directly to McLeod has been a game changer for us,” said Mike Narkys, president of MNS1, the first fleet to complete the integration. “Our planners and dispatchers can look inside each trailer, see how much space is left and quickly decide which trailers are ready for deployment.”
Ahmed Ebrahim, senior vice president of strategic partnerships and integrations at McLeod Software, said the integration gives mutual customers “better visibility into their networks and helps them plan more effectively for their fleets.”
Todd Hodges, director of product management at Phillips Connect, said trailers become “active contributors to fleet strategy” when data is accessible on trusted platforms. “This integration is the first of many that will help fleets take their trailer intelligence to the next level, regardless of which software platforms they use to run their business.”
