Through a partnership with Platform Science, Phillips Connect’s DriverAssist will be available on Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle Marketplace. The integration will enable actionable trailer insights such as tractor-trailer pairing and TPMS directly into the cab for drivers.
“By partnering with Phillips Connect, we are integrating innovative real-time tractor-trailer pairing validation directly into any workflow app, scaling a fleet’s existing setup without the need for complex changes,” Jake Fields, co-founder and CTO, Platform Science, said. “Drivers are at the center of everything we do, and this partnership not only streamlines fleet operations but also enhances driver satisfaction.”
DriverAssist is accessible to all current Platform Science fleets through the Virtual Vehicle Marketplace. This solution delivers trailer insights, sending alerts to drivers in near real time.

DriverAssist delivers key trailer data, including real-time tractor-trailer pairing validation, tire pressure monitoring, and many more expansion options, ensuring drivers stay informed about their load and trailer health at all times.
Tractor-trailer pairing not only boosts driver confidence but also gives the back office the assurance they need by strengthening verification protocols, enhancing security, reducing the risk of trailer theft, and streamlining fleet operations overall, according to Phillips Connect. Real-time alerts on tire pressure problems enable drivers to react immediately.
