Anyline, a mobile data capture and analytics company, has formed a partnership with Treads, an AI-driven car management subscription service. This collaboration aims to enhance the Treads mobile app with advanced data capture and analytic features for car owners.
Treads, launched in May 2021, focuses on simplifying car ownership. It operates in 21 major U.S. markets, serving over 4,000 customers. The company offers subscriptions for various car maintenance services, including tires, oil changes, alignments and wiper blades, alongside a full auto insurance marketplace. With its expansion, Treads sought a method for car owners to independently verify tire tread depth. This need led to the partnership with Anyline and the integration of the Anyline Tread Depth Scanner into the Treads app. The addition of this technology aims to protect car owners from unforeseen expenses and reduce the overall cost of vehicle ownership.
“Anyline’s Tread Depth Scanner is cutting-edge technology that no one else has delivered to the market in a reliable way,” said Zach Olson, CEO of Treads.
He attributed the company’s rapid growth to its AI technology-first approach and described the partnership with Anyline as a natural progression that enhances its technology offerings.
The Anyline Tread Depth Scanner employs advanced AI and computer vision to accurately measure tire tread depth using any mobile device. This tool can be integrated into both workforce and consumer-facing apps through an API. With this technology, Treads aims to ensure that its customers are always driving on safe tires.
Lukas Kinigadner, CEO and co-founder of Anyline, expressed his excitement in partnering with Treads, noting that Treads’ subscription model aligns well with Anyline’s goals. He emphasized the partnership’s role in driving innovation and enhancing safety in the automotive industry.
The Anyline Tread Depth Scanner is currently available on Treads’ mobile app for both iOS and Android users. In the coming months, Anyline and Treads plan to deploy more automotive scanning tools.
