Plaid for Telematics Data in Commercial Trucking
Terminal is Plaid for telematics data in commercial trucking. Companies building next generation insurance products, financial services and fleet software for trucking use our Universal API to access GPS data, speeding data and vehicle stats. Raghav (CEO) and Connor (CTO) led product and engineering at a series b-funded neobank where they spent 2.5 years integrating middleware APIs like Plaid & Stripe. Before that, Connor spent 3 years building software for his family-owned logistics company which was acquired by a private equity firm. Raghav’s family is in fleet operations and owns an HVAC company in San Francisco where they operate a fleet of 13 commercial vehicles.
Terminal provides a universal API for telematics and ELDs, allowing applications to connect to multiple telematics services through a single API with pre-normalized data models. It aims to reduce data transformation and integration time by offering a unified data layer and easy authentication for users.
Terminal offers a single API to access telematics data (vehicles, drivers, locations, hours of service, safety events) with a normalized data model and constant synchronization. Developers authenticate via an in-app modal, integrate multiple telematics providers through Terminal’s directory of platforms, and leverage the unified data to build fleet management, TMS, digital brokerage, insurance, factoring, fuel-card insights, and other telematics-driven solutions.
Who it’s for: Companies building fleet management, carrier TMS, digital brokerages, insurance, factoring, or fuel-card services that require integrations with multiple telematics providers.
