Commercial fleet tablet OS with OEM integration in Daimler Freightliner and Western Star trucks; flexible platform for ELD compliance and fleet apps competing with Samsara and Motive.
Platform Science is an enterprise fleet technology platform providing a flexible operating system for commercial vehicles — enabling trucking companies and fleet operators to deploy, manage, and customize digital applications across their truck cab tablets and connected vehicle systems at scale. Founded in 2015 in San Diego, California by Jack Kennedy (former Apple software engineer) and Paul Singh, Platform Science has raised approximately $155 million and counts major trucking fleets including Daimler Truck North America and Werner Enterprises as partners and investors.\n\nPlatform Science's core offering is a tablet-based platform (deployed in truck cabs) that runs ELD compliance software alongside a suite of fleet applications: route navigation, fleet messaging, IFTA reporting, driver coaching, tire pressure monitoring, and third-party app integrations. The "open platform" architecture allows fleets to run applications from multiple vendors on a single standardized tablet, eliminating the proliferation of separate devices that fleets have historically deployed. Platform Science partners with Daimler Truck to ship tablets pre-integrated with new Freightliner and Western Star trucks.\n\nIn 2025, Platform Science competes with Samsara, Motive (formerly KeepTruckin), and Omnitracs for fleet telematics and cab technology platform share. The company's OEM integration with Daimler Truck provides a significant distribution advantage — new truck buyers receive Platform Science as standard equipment, creating a large installed base without the fleet sales cycle. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing its application marketplace (attracting more third-party fleet app developers to build on Platform Science), deepening its Daimler Truck partnership, and expanding autonomous vehicle integration as Daimler's autonomous trucking programs develop.
