Intangles opened its first U.S. headquarters in Dallas-Fort Worth, the company said Tuesday. The digital twin platform previously operated as a virtual team.
It chose the Dallas area for its central location, proximity to major trucking corridors and access to fleet, logistics and technology talent. Intangles has 15 employees in the region and expects to reach 100 by the end of 2027, adding roles in customer success, commercial operations, installation and other jobs.
According to RigDig, owned by TPS parent company Fusable, there are more than 100,000 vehicles in a 150-mile radius of the new headquarters at 5601 Executive Drive, Irving, Texas.

"North America has quickly become one of the most crucial markets in our growing global story, and this headquarters makes that commitment tangible," says Anup Patil, CEO. "We are no longer serving U.S. fleets from a distance. The Irving office gives our clients a home base, our team a hub to operate from and puts us in the middle of one of the country's most important transportation corridors."
Intangles offers the InGenious solution that reads more than 450 real-time signals from a vehicle's engine, aftertreatment, brakes, battery/alternator and air intake systems and aggregates them into a physics-based digital twin. A digital twin is a live virtual model of a specific vehicle in the company's InRoute platform. Artificial intelligence (AI) layered on top of the model can flag developing issues in real time based on how the vehicle is actual condition rather than on a fixed schedule. The InRoute solution then delivers a technician-ready diagnosis and repair recommendation built from the vehicle's actual condition.
Intangles says it has a 96% accuracy predicting major component failures, up to 75% reductions in unplanned breakdown events and 2-10% better fuel efficiency.
"For a fleet operator, the difference between a repair you can plan and a failure you have to react to is significant, and that lead time pays off in greater uptime and fewer trucks stranded on the side of the road," says Siddharth Singh, CRO. "Our technology is shifting this industry away from reacting to big breakdowns and toward catching issues while they're still small, so fleets can plan around them instead of around losing a truck. Keeping U.S. goods moving depends on it."
Intangles is celebrating the new headquarters with the InRoads Rodeo, a multicity roadshow running Sept. 28-Oct. 1. It will kick off in Irving before heading to Austin, San Antonio and Houston.
