PrePass, the leading provider of weigh station bypass, fleet toll intelligence and optimization, and safety and compliance solutions, has launched the first phase of PrePass Intelligence, helping fleets unlock unrealized value from their bypass and toll activity. The new fleet intelligence capabilities help commercial fleets surface insights that reduce costs, improve operational outcomes, optimize program performance and identify potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Fleets already know when a bypass occurs or a toll is charged. The harder task is determining what those events mean to the business, whether they reveal an opportunity or problem, and what action should follow. That often requires fleets to analyze large amounts of data across separate systems.
PrePass Intelligence closes that gap. The initial release uses bypass, safety, toll, and available vehicle GPS data to help fleets quantify the value of weigh station bypass, optimize toll spend and identify exceptions that might otherwise go unnoticed. Forecast CSA also provides earlier visibility into potential fleet safety and compliance impacts.
"A bypass, a toll transaction or an inspection is just an event. The real value comes from understanding what those events mean to the business," said Chas Wurster, Chief Technology Officer at PrePass. "Because PrePass operates across bypass, tolling and compliance, we see operational signals that often exist in separate systems. PrePass Intelligence helps fleets understand and focus on the most meaningful events, what they mean to the business and where action is needed."
The offering helps fleets connect safety data to operational decisions by unifying inspection, violation, and bypass insights to identify patterns, anticipate potential ISS score impacts, and act sooner. It shows the true value of bypass with fleet-specific calculations for driver time, fuel and estimated operating costs saved.
Fleets can identify additional bypass opportunities where adding eligible vehicles, transponders or the PrePass mobile app could generate additional savings. Toll spend optimization is driven by AI Toll Insights, consolidating toll-rate savings, violation savings, dispute credits and volume discounts into one view. PrePass also identifies likely maximum-rate toll overcharges and disputes eligible transactions on the customer's behalf.
The platform spots operational issues sooner by correlating bypass, toll and available GPS data to identify transponder mismatches, assignment issues and possible fraudulent or unauthorized activity. It predicts potential compliance impacts as Forecast CSA estimates how points from recent inspection activity may affect a fleet's ISS score before changes appear in standard reporting.
"Fleet theft continues to evolve, and tolling transponders have become another target," said Patrick Gates, Senior Manager, Operations Equipment, Estes Express Lines. "PrePass Intelligence helps surface potential anomalies and suspicious toll activity that might otherwise go unnoticed, giving our team the visibility needed to investigate potential issues, make informed decisions and take corrective action."
PrePass Intelligence builds on capabilities already delivering measurable value. Since 1997, PrePass has helped fleets save 584 million gallons of fuel and 136 million driver hours, the equivalent of nearly two million workweeks. More than $7 million in Express Lane spend is surfaced monthly to help fleets understand premium route usage, and more than $1 million in potential unauthorized toll activity was identified in a single month by comparing toll and GPS data.
PrePass Intelligence is available now at no additional cost to customers using Bypass and Toll solutions and is part of a broader strategy to help fleets derive greater value from data flowing through connected roadside moments. The offering is being showcased at the American Trucking Associations' Management Conference & Exhibition in Charlotte, North Carolina.
