Missed Maintenance
Drivers ignore standard service intervals because they don't know they are due, leading to massive warranty claims and broken vehicles.
Engineering the post-purchase experience
Owner & Service Portals
Connect your drivers to their vehicles in real-time.
We build secure "connected car" portals and progressive web apps for vehicle owners. Integrate live telematics, automate service scheduling, and manage vehicle financing in one unified dashboard.
- Integrate live telematics APIs (battery range, tire pressure, location)
- Build secure portals for OTA (Over-The-Air) update management
- Automate maintenance scheduling based on live odometer readings
Disconnected post-purchase experiences cause brand churn.
Modern drivers expect their car to feel like a smartphone. If your post-purchase experience consists of a paper manual and a generic phone number to call for service, you are severely damaging brand loyalty.
Telematics Data Silos
The car is generating gigabytes of data (GPS, engine health), but the owner has no interface to actually view or benefit from that data.
Fragmented Ownership
A user has to visit one website to pay their car loan, another to book service, and use a clunky app to check their battery.
The deliverables
Secure, unified connected-car architecture.
We build the Next.js portals that act as the central nervous system for your drivers, securely pulling data from the car to the cloud.
Connected Vehicle APIs
Integrating with OEM or third-party telematics providers (like Smartcar) to display live odometer, fuel/battery level, and tire pressure data.
Predictive Maintenance
Writing logic that monitors the live odometer API and automatically prompts the user to schedule a service appointment at the nearest dealer.
Remote Command APIs
Implementing highly secure, authenticated API calls that allow an owner to lock/unlock doors or flash the lights directly from the web portal.
Loan & Subscription Dashboards
Integrating with automotive finance engines to allow users to view their loan payoff amount or manage their premium connectivity subscriptions.

Connected Car EngineeringNext.js + Telematics APIs
Connected Fleet Owner Portal
Ending the oil change guessing game.
A commercial van manufacturer was suffering from high warranty costs because fleet owners were constantly missing critical maintenance intervals.
ChallengeThe vans had onboard telematics hardware, but the fleet owners had no easy way to view the data. They relied on drivers manually writing down odometer readings.
BuildWe built a secure Owner Portal integrated directly with the vehicle's telematics API. The dashboard tracks the exact engine hours of every van in the fleet and automatically flags vehicles that are 500 miles away from a required service.
ImpactPreventive maintenance compliance skyrocketed. Catastrophic engine failures (and associated warranty claims) dropped by 30% because the software prompted service before the vehicles broke down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Connected Car Portals.
Answers covering telematics integrations, security, and remote commands.
How do you get data from the car to the website?
Modern vehicles have cellular modems that push data to the OEM's secure cloud. We build backend Node.js microservices that authenticate with that cloud API, pull the specific vehicle's data, and display it securely on the web portal.
Can you integrate with older cars that don't have modems?
Yes. We often integrate with OBD-II telematics dongles (like Geotab or Samsara) that plug into older vehicles, allowing the same fleet-tracking and diagnostic capabilities.
Is it safe to allow remote locking from a web browser?
Security is paramount. Remote command APIs require incredibly strict authentication (Multi-Factor Authentication, short-lived tokens, and rate limiting). We ensure that even if the website is compromised, the core vehicle API enforces its own security checks.
Can users schedule service directly with a dealer?
Yes. We integrate the portal with the dealership's service scheduling software (like Xtime). The portal passes the vehicle VIN, current mileage, and diagnostic fault codes directly to the mechanic before the car even arrives.
Do you build native iOS/Android apps or Web Apps?
While we often build Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) that work beautifully on mobile browsers (and are much cheaper to maintain), for connected car remote commands (like using your phone as a Bluetooth key), native iOS/Android apps are usually required.
