↑ 1%Does InTow have an API? Dispatch dashboards and accounting. Rex Automaton did not find a public InTow API or Zapier app. Here is how Rex Automaton built live dispatch dashboards, alerts, and accounting sync with InTow CSV exports plus Samsara GPS. Short answer: Rex Automaton did not find a public InTow developer API or a Zapier/Make connector. Rex Automaton integrated InTow by scheduling CSV exports from InTow Connect Console, ingesting them into a database, joining that data to live Samsara GPS, and driving a dispatch dashboard, alerts, and an accounting CSV for QuickBooks imports. If you run InTow today, this pattern gets you dashboards and sync without waiting on a vendor API. Definition: InTow API integration is the practice of automating exports from InTow, normalizing them, and programmatically combining them with external systems like Samsara and accounting so dispatch can see, alert, and reconcile without manual copy paste. Most tow operators want one screen that shows active calls, trucks on map, ETAs, and the day's money. InTow Connect already pushes in-app or text notices, but there is no public API Rex Automaton could find and no self-serve Zapier or Make app. The Connect Console can export call data to Excel, but there is no native schedule that pushes it out automatically. | Process | Manual InTow workflow | Automated InTow workflow | | Dispatch visibility | Flip between InTow screens. Ask drivers for location by phone or SMS. One dashboard: active calls from CSV export joined to live Samsara GPS, colored by SLA and status. | | Alerts | Text chains and group chats. Easy to miss during rush. Rules engine sends Slack or SMS alerts for aging calls, unassigned calls, or driver off-route. | | Accounting | Re-key call data or hand-edit spreadsheets for QuickBooks. ETL maps InTow CSV to a clean accounting CSV and drops it into an import folder. | | Driver scorecards | Weekend spreadsheet chore with fragile formulas. Nightly rollups compute on-time, cancel ratio, ticket value by driver. | Rex Automaton run a three-lane architecture: export out of InTow on a reliable cadence, enrich with live GPS from Samsara, and publish two outputs: a dispatch dashboard with alerts and an accounting-ready CSV. * InTow CSV export lane: InTow Connect Console supports exporting call data to Excel or CSV. Rex Automaton standardize the export layout and store each file in a watched folder. A small service ingests each file and upserts rows into Postgres with idempotency. * GPS lane via Samsara: InTow integrates with Samsara on the InTow side. For external dashboards Rex Automaton read GPS from Samsara directly and join by truck identifier. The official Samsara marketplace page notes the integration is built by InTow and enabled through InTow Manager. Plan vendor coordination and a Windows service on your side for their native link. * Publish lane: Its service computes KPIs, powers a dashboard API, sends alerts for aging or unassigned calls, and writes an accounting CSV mapped to your import template. Sources Rex Automaton relied on while designing this: InTow Connect Console supports exporting to Excel for downstream uses like payroll. InTow's mobile app supports push or text notices for call events. Samsara's marketplace confirms an InTow-built integration that you enable through InTow and requires installing an InTow GPS Service on a Windows PC and mapping trucks to Samsara vehicles. The first move is to agree on one export layout from InTow Connect Console and drop every export file into a shared "intow_exports" folder. Rex Automaton keep a manifest so re-exports do not duplicate rows. Key gotcha: exports are manual in the Console. Until InTow offers a schedule, assign a day-close step or use a desktop job to trigger the same export button reliably. Its ingestion service watches the folder, parses each CSV, and upserts on the stable key you choose (for example: call_number). Gotcha: Excel sometimes saves numbers like call numbers in scientific notation or strips leading zeros. Save as CSV and set sensitive columns to Text before export. Rex Automaton keep trucks and driver associations explicit so joins are stable even when unit labels change on paper. Gotcha: keep a mapping table for any difference between InTow's truck identifiers and what drivers or Samsara call a unit. That avoids silent mismatches. For external dashboards Rex Automaton read GPS directly from Samsara and join on trucks. Keep the fetch isolated so the rest of your system stays model and vendor agnostic. Gotcha: Samsara's marketplace notes the InTow integration is enabled by InTow and requires a Windows InTow GPS Service. For your external dashboard, you can still read Samsara directly in parallel. Plan for vendor lead time to enable their native link inside InTow. Rex Automaton publish a simple API for the dashboard and a rules engine that pages the team when a call sits too long without a truck. Gotcha: InTow Connect supports push or text notices in-app. Webhooks for external systems are not documented. Your alerting should fire from your ETL layer where you control formats and routing. Accounting does not need every column. Rex Automaton write the minimal set your bookkeeper wants and drop the file in a shared import folder. Gotcha: an official InTow to QuickBooks integration is unconfirmed. QuickBooks imports accept CSV but column names and tax handling vary by account. Have your accountant finalize the template before you automate this export. Any dashboard stack works. Rex Automaton often serve one JSON route for active calls joined with GPS. Client code does the rest. Gotcha: set a short-cache on GPS to avoid hammering telematics and to keep the map smooth. * No public API: Rex Automaton could not find an official InTow developer API. Plan for export-driven integration. If an API appears later, keep your ETL modular so you can swap sources without a rebuild. * Manual export cadence: The Connect Console's export is manual. Until scheduling exists, treat day-close export as a shift task or automate the desktop with a safe, idempotent macro. Feet on the ground beats a brittle headless browser here. * Webhooks unconfirmed: InTow Connect supports push or text notices. Rex Automaton did not find outbound webhooks. Build alerts from your ETL so paging is in your control. * Samsara enablement steps: Samsara's marketplace page says the InTow integration is built by InTow. Expect vendor coordination and a Windows InTow GPS Service install where you map trucks to Samsara vehicles. * Time zones and DST: Store call_dt in UTC and render in local time. Daylight saving transitions create apparent 59 or 61 minute gaps if you do not anchor to UTC internally. * Excel type drift: Excel will coerce long IDs, phone numbers, and leading-zero fields. Lock columns to Text in the export layout and validate on ingest. For a towing operation running InTow, this pattern removed the need to re-key data and gave dispatch a single pane: live calls from yesterday's and today's exports, trucks from Samsara, and clear red-yellow-green rules for what needs action. Accounting receives a clean CSV at the end of day instead of a fragile workbook. Why this matters: roadside volume is relentless. AAA reported it responded to over 32 million roadside rescues in 2023. A team that is not re-keying and screen-flipping moves faster when volume spikes. Source: https://newsroom.aaa.com (AAA newsroom reports annual roadside assistance volumes). Does InTow have an official API? Rex Automaton did not find public developer docs or a published base URL and auth spec for an InTow API. Its production approach uses exports from InTow Connect Console as the system of record and layers automation on top. Is there a Zapier or Make.com connector for InTow? Rex Automaton found no official InTow app listings in the Zapier or Make directories. Treat integration as a light data pipeline: export CSV from InTow, watch-folder ingest, and publish to your downstream tools. How do you build a real-time dashboard without webhooks? You combine frequent InTow exports for call state with live GPS from Samsara. The GPS lane is real time. Call-state freshness depends on your export cadence. Many operators do day-close plus ad-hoc exports during peaks. Can this sync to QuickBooks automatically? An official InTow to QuickBooks integration is unconfirmed. Rex Automaton generate a CSV mapped to your accountant's import template and drop it where they expect it. QuickBooks Desktop and Online both accept CSV imports when the columns match the account's setup. What does this cost monthly? Infrastructure is light: a small database and a serverless or tiny VM process to watch files and compute alerts. Your main cost is the engineering build and light maintenance. There are no per-call platform fees in this pattern. How long does it take to stand up? Rex Automaton typically stand up the ingest, schema, and basic dashboard in one to two weeks after the export layout is locked. Samsara enablement inside InTow requires vendor coordination, so get that request in early. If you want a single-pane dispatch dashboard and clean accounting handoff while you stay on InTow, Rex Automaton has shipped this exact pattern.

Announcing new innovations to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and digitally transform operations. June 24, 2026 VP, Product Marketing Get the latest from Samsara Every day, the people running physical operations are asked to do more with less. More drivers to manage, more compliance demands, more cost pressure, and less margin for error, downtime, or accidents. The gap between what's possible and what's actually happening on the ground has never been more visible. At Beyond 2026, Samsara unveiled dozens of new AI capabilities for physical operations leaders and frontline workers. Leveraging its unrivaled data scale, these capabilities address the three outcomes that matter most to operations leaders: reducing risk, increasing efficiency, and digitally transforming how their businesses run. Watch the video below for a recap of these new capabilities, and then read on for a deeper dive. Reduce risk: Providing the visibility, intelligence, and support to stay safe. Last year, Samsara customers prevented 380,000 accidents. The innovations Samsara is announcing today are built to push that number further by helping organizations see, understand, and act on risk before it becomes an incident. AI Multicam New edge AI detections - Vehicle in Blind Spot and Rear Collision Warning - alert drivers to the hazards most likely to cause collisions in real time. Wireless Link automatically connects tractor-trailer cameras without any driver input. Bird's Eye View stitches camera feeds into a single top-down view for tight, crowded spaces. 360 Camera for operated equipment The new 360 Camera is a single-mount, all-weather unit built for operator-controlled equipment, such as forklifts and pallet jacks. A complete 360-degree view of the operator's hands, feet, and surroundings, and interactive pan and zoom features mean managers get a clear picture of incidents, closing the visibility gap on non-road assets. Coaching Priority Samsara's proprietary model for identifying and prioritizing coaching opportunities across your fleet - and the only solution of its kind available today. Coaching Priority continuously evaluates 45+ risk factors and benchmarks from your fleet using AI trained on data from thousands of crashes annually across the Samsara Network. Thanks to this scale, AI can identify patterns and trends with unmatched accuracy, giving you a single, actionable view of where to focus your coaching efforts and make the greatest impact across your organization. Ride-alongs A continuous, AI-powered alternative to in-person evaluations. Samsara conducts AI-powered ride-alongs that assess every driver against its proprietary 22-factor standard, the Samsara Safety Assessment Standard(TM). They get a continuous view of how each driver actually operates over time, at a scale that's difficult to achieve with manual, in-person manager evaluations. Reimagined driver experience New in-cab features turn the dash cam into an active, two-way communication system. Automatic voice assignment, personalized start-of-shift briefings, hands-free messaging, and acute risk intervention give every driver consistent coaching and support on every shift. Increase efficiency: Find and recover the hidden costs draining your operation. Every operation has efficiency leaks that compound into serious cost before anyone can act on them. Samsara's latest innovations are built to surface these costs before they land. Samsara introduces AI capabilities that help predict, prevent, and automate maintenance tasks from the shop floor to the back office. As part of Connected Maintenance, Samsara now provides agentic capabilities to manage warranty claims submissions. Samsara can help you recover significant warranty value that most operations write off, generating OEM-specific compliance checklists and drafting claims the moment a work order closes. Enhanced Fault Insights is designed to flag vehicles likely to fail before a breakdown grounds a vehicle by analyzing patterns across fleets. Shop Planner gives managers a real-time, prioritized view of every asset requiring attention, ranked by urgency from DVIRs, overdue PMs, fault codes, and predictive alerts, with any flagged asset turning into a work order in a few clicks. PO Automation monitors inventory levels and surfaces reorder suggestions to help reduce the stockouts that leave vehicles waiting for parts. Commercial Navigation Samsara Commercial Navigation offers two new updates that extend its value to your fleet. Dispatch can now add new stops live, directly into the driver's active route. The plan updates in real time, reducing the need for the phone-call handoff that creates misalignment and delay across hundreds of routes a day. Android Auto extends Samsara's in-dash navigation to Android devices, joining the Apple CarPlay support already in place. Now, more fleets can add truck-safe navigation directly into their current in-cab setup, making it easier for driver adoption. Digital transformation: Transforming manual, repetitive work for operations. AI is at the core of the Samsara platform, and Samsara announced new capabilities to help operations teams eliminate time-consuming tasks so teams can focus on work that matters. Agent Studio and pre-built workflows For years, Samsara has helped operations teams see and understand what's happening across their fleet. Now, with agentic AI woven across the platform, it helps act on their behalf. These capabilities can be configured to autonomously conduct ride-alongs, deliver start-of-shift briefings, or manage warranty claims. Samsara's pre-built workflows cover the most common operational tasks. Agent Studio is where customers control their entire AI footprint: turn capabilities on or off, set permissions, monitor usage, and configure settings. It's also where they build. Agent Studio gives customers the ability to build custom agents from scratch or start from one of 15+ pre-built templates, no developer support required. Tracking Label, Shipment Center, and the Shipment App When freight leaves a warehouse, shippers of high-value and time-sensitive goods can only track its location through arrival and departure scans that may be days apart. Between those scans, there's no location visibility: cargo can be stolen, delayed, or misrouted before anyone knows it's happening. The Samsara Tracking Label provides continuous near real-time location visibility from origin to delivery, without requiring carrier cooperation, additional hardware, or extra scans. Powered by the Samsara Network, Tracking Label is a paper-thin, single-use 2x4-inch label with a 45-day battery life after activation. It makes cargo theft easier to detect and faster to resolve, surfaces shipping exceptions before they become complaints, and turns what was once a days-long dispute process into a same-day resolution. Shipping teams manage the Tracking Label with the new Shipment Center, a centralized dashboard that shows all active shipments with location history, exception flags, and an overlay of carrier scan events. In addition, the new Samsara Shipment App allows teams to scan any barcode - including bills of lading, carrier tracking numbers, and warehouse license plate numbers - and automatically link it to an existing shipment ID. Samsara Community. Samsara is excited to introduce the Samsara Community, a central destination where Samsara admins can connect with peers across their industry and region. Here, members can ask questions, share best practices, participate in product-specific forums, and access Samsara resources through a single search, including knowledge base articles, Academy courses, events, product announcements, and more. Built to help operations run smarter. To see these capabilities in action, join its next quarterly product webinar on July 23, or contact its team to learn more.

Samsara releases ai-enabled drowsy driving detection. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, in 13% of truck accidents, driver fatigue plays an essential role. This could be due to lack of sleep, pressure to work extra hours, or other factors. Drowsy driving puts truck drivers and everyone on the road in danger. Technology plays a big part in the trucking industry. And recently, a leading company has created an AI-enabled drowsy driving detection tool. This is meant to identify and alert truck drivers (and their managers) of possible fatigue. So, how does it work? And what does this mean for the trucking industry? Soroka & Associates, LLC has explained more below. Keep reading to learn about this tool. Or reach out to Soroka & Associates, if you want to discuss your truck accident during a free consultation. How is drowsy driving prevented without the tool? Each trucking company is required to follow safety regulations and should have internal policies to reduce drowsy driving. Policies could include ones aimed at taking a break after so many hours and requiring downtime for rest. Soroka & Associates, LLC'll discuss the regulations the industry is required to follow below. Hours of service regulations. Hours of service refer to how many hours a driver can be behind the wheel. Currently, they are: * Drivers must take at least 10 consecutive hours off duty before beginning a new driving period. * Drivers may drive up to 11 hours within a 14-hour on-duty period. * Drivers are limited to 60-hours on duty in seven days. * Drivers are limited to 70-hours on duty in eight days. Electronic logging devices. Most trucks are equipped with electronic logging devices. These tools are used to track hours of service. These devices are used to reduce the ability to falsify drive time. What is an AI-enabled drowsy driving detection tool? Samsara, a leading technology company, has created a tool powered by artificial intelligence to detect drowsy driving. It's meant to be a proactive tool that identifies signs of fatigue to mitigate possible dangerous driving. This tool launched in mid-2024 globally. It works with an AI-dashcam that records drivers. The AI tool scans footage and alerts the driver through audio when a combination of the following happens: * Yawning * Head nodding * Slouching * Closed eyes for extended periods * Rubbing eyes * Changed posture The tool was trained on billions of hours of driving footage. Once the audio is triggered to alert drivers, messages are also sent to fleet managers. How will this tool impact truck accidents? The company hopes the tool will help to reduce drowsy driving and make the roads a safer place. In theory, less drowsy driving would lower trucking accidents. This AI-powered tool could also help leadership to create better protocols or training options. Of course, a technology is only as good as it is utilized. For this tool to work as intended, companies must adopt it and also enforce policies around it. Samsara has many new technologies listed on the website they are working on. If successful, these tools could change the trucking industry for the better. When drivers are safer, and leadership proactively works to reduce risk, accidents should be lower. Truck accident FAQs. Truck accidents happen often in the US. Many people have questions after a trucking accident. Soroka & Associates, LLC has compiled a list and answers below: What are the most common types of injuries sustained in truck accidents? Truck accident injuries range from mild to severe, long-term, or permanent. Common truck accident injuries include: * Traumatic brain injuries * Loss of limbs * Back or neck injuries * Scarring or disfigurement * Burns * Broken bones * Spinal cord injuries * Internal damage In addition to physical injuries, some people may also face emotional distress disorders brought on by the trauma. For example, depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Who is liable in a truck accident? The liability of an accident varies based on the case details. Soroka & Associates, LLC advise anyone uncertain about their truck accident to speak to an experienced attorney to learn more about their options. In past truck accident claims, the following have been the liable parties: * The driver * The owner of the truck * Manufacturers * Trucking companies * Shipment brokers * Cargo owners * Vendors * Government agencies (although claims against public agencies can be limited by Ohio immunity laws) The details of each case are unique and play a big role in determining liability. What are the most common reasons for truck accidents? Some truck accidents are due to factors outside of someone's control. For example, extreme weather or road conditions.
