Where your data lands.

This is what your AI produces after it processes your Trimble data.

DATA

State mileage totals

The AI identifies every state entered during the trip period. You get a clear count of miles for each jurisdiction.

REPORT

Compliance-ready lists

The tool organizes the data into a format that matches IFTA requirements. This replaces manual spreadsheet entry.

AUDIT

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI submit my IFTA report directly to the state?

    No. The AI calculates the mileage and prepares the data, but you must handle the actual submission to the regulatory authorities.

  • 02

    Does the AI change any data in my Trimble account?

    No. The AI only reads trip and mileage data to perform calculations. It cannot edit or delete your existing Trimble records.

  • 03

    What happens if a trip crosses multiple states?

    The AI uses the calculate_state_mileage tool to split that trip into the correct mileage segments for each state involved.

  • 04

    Do I need to manually export CSV files from Trimble first?

    No. Once the Connector is live, your AI pulls the data directly from Trimble.

  • 05

    Can the AI calculate fuel consumption as well?

    No. This specific task is limited to calculating mileage per state based on the available tools.
