FROM VEHICLE DATA TO REAL SERVICES

Connected Vehicle Solutions

A connected vehicle platform often sounds complex. It does not have to be. We build yours to fit, from a lean pilot to a full-scale service, and let it grow as you do.

A platform that grows with you

We work with motoring clubs, repair shops, and mobility providers to turn vehicle data into real services, from preventive breakdown assistance to fleet insights. A full platform, a single app, or an independent second set of eyes: we build exactly what you need.

  • Telematics Platform Engineering

    We build the backend that ingests, processes, and stores vehicle data reliably and exposes clean APIs for your services and partners. Scalable cloud infrastructure, sized to your data volume.

  • Connected Customer Apps

    We design and build the mobile experience for your drivers, from vehicle status and trip history to notifications, subscriptions, and service booking, all backed by the platform beneath it.

  • First Time Right: Reactive Breakdown Analysis

    Resolve breakdowns correctly on the first attempt. Drawing on years of data science expertise, we build reactive intelligence that predicts the likely fault from vehicle data and recommends the right action before dispatch, so your response team arrives prepared. Fewer repeat callouts, lower follow-up costs.

  • Fleet & Mobility Data

    We turn raw vehicle data into products you can act on: trip and usage insights, safety and eco scores, and fleet dashboards. Privacy-first and GDPR-compliant from the start.

Jim Kennedy
DRVN and OR have worked together since the earliest days of DRVN, and the relationship our teams built made the collaboration feel as if we were one company. OR's team was extremely knowledgeable and helped us deliver a very complex rewrite of a legacy connected vehicle system.

Shape your connected vehicle platform

Structured sessions to review your connected vehicle platform, check your data and compliance readiness, and shape vehicle data into concrete product ideas.

Connected Vehicle Architecture Review

Connected Vehicle Architecture Review

Target audience: CTOs / IT Leads / Product Owners / Architects Duration: 4-6 hours

A structured expert assessment of your connected vehicle platform, whether it already exists or is still on the drawing board. We look at scalability, data protection, integration risk, cost, and the build vs. buy question, and hand you a prioritised action list you can take straight to your team.

Data & Compliance Readiness Workshop

Data & Compliance Readiness Workshop

Target audience: Product Owners / IT Leads / Data Protection Officers / Legal & Compliance Duration: 4-6 hours

A focused session to check whether your handling of vehicle data holds up, before you build on it. We review data flows, consent and retention, GDPR obligations, and privacy-by-design, and leave you with a clear picture of the gaps, the risks, and the concrete steps to close them.

Design Thinking for Connected Car Use-Cases

Design Thinking for Connected Car Use-Cases

Target audience: Product Managers / Business Stakeholders / Innovation teams Duration: 6-8 hours

A hands-on, collaborative session to turn "what could we do with vehicle data" into concrete, prioritised product ideas. From new member and customer services to fleet and mobility offerings, we explore the possibilities and shape the most promising ones into tangible concepts.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most often about this service.

What is a connected vehicle platform?

A connected vehicle platform collects data from vehicles, processes it reliably, and turns it into services, from breakdown assistance and vehicle health to fleet insights and customer apps. It is the backbone that connects vehicles, data, and the services your customers actually use.

What does it cost to build a connected vehicle platform?

It depends entirely on scope, from a lean pilot to a full-scale platform. That is exactly why we start by sizing the solution to your needs and budget, so you know the cost before you commit. A pilot is deliberately scoped to keep the initial investment low. This allows you to validate its value using your own data first.

What does "First Time Right" mean in breakdown assistance?

First Time Right means resolving a breakdown correctly on the first visit instead of a second callout. Vehicle data predicts the likely fault before dispatch, so the first response arrives prepared, which raises the resolution rate and cuts repeat callouts and towing costs.
