Data Access Management

Secure and targeted access to the data and services of a defined group of vehicles for selected OEM business customers

Data Access Management provides vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) the key elements of data processing and permissions in order to make connected vehicle data and services available to their business customers. The product offers flexible connected vehicle integration options and provides APIs that enable OEM business customers to build solutions with the features that their end users need. All the data collected provides opportunities for data analysis and a better understanding of how/where cars are used on an aggregated level. This greater visibility of vehicle health and usage leads to increased vehicle utilization and safety as well as better operational effectiveness for the business customers of the OEM.

The Opportunities

On average more than 60% of OEM vehicles are sold into the B2B channel. Many of these vehicles become part of a fleet, whether it is an OEM test car fleet, leasing company, rental car company, mobility provider or other fleet-based service models. Regardless of the owner and fleet type, there are a few common areas of concern:

Increasing usage and realizing ROI

Reducing environmental impact and CO2 emissions

Efficiently managing the health and location of assets

Building attractive pricing models and features for end users

To address these areas of concern and to obtain visibility of individual vehicles in the fleet, connectivity, data, and fleet-centric services are key. Data Access Management ensures roles and rights to access vehicle data are managed while data and services are delivered securely to any business customers.

Our Product

Our Data Access Management API makes it possible for the OEM to give access to the vehicle data to mobility providers or fleet management providers. There is no locked-in solution for one specific fleet management portal. This allows OEMs to offer a rich set of features that improve operational excellence, strengthen brand loyalty, and provide positive user experiences.
