Slipstream
Move with less drag.
Telemetry, weather, routes, fuel, drivers, fused into a single picture, then surfaced where decisions are actually made. Slipstream is the Transport vertical of Inflect: the same loop, applied to anything that moves.
An old trick, made digital.
Cyclists call it the slipstream. Race drivers call it the tow. Geese crossing a continent call it formation. The trick is the same: ride the wake, lose the drag, go further on the same energy.
We're building it for fleets. Every metre of drag is fuel, time, and carbon. Take the drag out of decisions: the routing call, the dispatch swap, the maintenance window. The three of them move together.
Less drag. Less fuel. Less Scope 1. Same fleet.
What it does.
Decision support and data fusion for fleet, route, and operations teams. The same loop runs for road, rail, sea, and air.
One stream from many sensors.
GPS, telematics, fuel-burn, weather, dispatch, operator notes. Fused into a single trusted view across the fleet. Sensors stop being silos. The picture stops being assembled by hand.
Routes that learn the wind.
Predictive weather, traffic, and re-route assist baked into the dispatch loop. CO₂-per-leg surfaced alongside time and cost, so the lower-drag choice is the visible choice, at the moment the call is made.
Patterns before incidents.
Operational deviations and precursor events surfaced in near-real-time. Idling, off-route, over-fuelling, drift. The quiet patterns that cost money and emissions long before they cost a vehicle.
Drag becomes data.
Per-shipment carbon accounting. Fleet-level Scope 1 / 3 disclosure. Modal-shift impact analysis. Generated from the same operational ledger that runs dispatch, not a separate ESG spreadsheet.
+ Modes
Same Objects. Different velocity.
Slipstream is a Surface on the Inflect platform.
Lumen provides the Sources, Objects, and Decisions layers. Slipstream is the Surface the operations team sees.

A fleet that could move with less drag?
We onboard a small number of partners at a time. Tell us what you're seeing in the data, what decision keeps slipping, what the dispatcher already knows but can't prove.
