The challenge
A telematics provider serving car dealerships needed to replace its existing telematics and lot-management platform. Dealers depend on it to know where every vehicle on the lot is, whether one is moving when it shouldn’t be, and whether devices are healthy — and the incumbent hardware was expensive.
What we built
We built the entire platform from scratch: device firmware and cloud ingestion, the event and alerting engine, and the dealer-facing lot-management application.
We sourced hardware manufacturing and devices below the client’s existing unit cost, then field tested on real dealer lots before rolling out to production.
Devices send health checks and movement events over a global cellular IoT connectivity platform. The platform turns those events into geofence-breach and speeding alerts, and keeps a live view of every vehicle on the lot.
Scope
- Platform built from scratch: firmware, cloud and dealer app
- Hardware sourcing and manufacturing below prior unit cost
- Field testing on dealer lots, then production rollout
- Device health checks and movement events over cellular IoT
- Geofence-breach and speeding alerts
- Lot management: live vehicle location and inventory
The result
The new platform is in production, replacing the client’s previous telematics and lot-management system on lower-cost hardware.
