Single multi-brand API

Connect your vehicles from different manufacturers without having to manage dozens of technical interfaces.

Harmonized telematics data

View mileage, fuel/charge levels, GPS location, engine alerts, and more in a standardized format.

Quick integration with your tools

Integrate with your internal platforms, fleet management solutions, or mobility apps via REST API or streaming.

Built-in security and compliance

Take advantage of a secure architecture designed for data protection and regulatory compliance.

Understanding telematics: a cornerstone of modern fleet management

Onboard telematics combines computing, sensors, and cellular communications to collect, analyze, and transmit real-time data from your vehicles. It is the foundation of any data-driven fleet management strategy.

How does it work?
Built-in sensors and telematics units measure position, speed, engine status, and driving events, then transmit this data via cellular networks to processing platforms.
Why is this key for your fleet?
This data makes it possible to optimize routes, monitor fuel consumption, schedule maintenance, and improve driver safety.
The limitations of not having a unified API
Without a common interface, each vendor imposes its own portal, formats, and access rules, which complicates integrations and slows down your projects.

Fleet management solutions for:

Cost savings & increased productivity

Optimize your routes, reduce empty-run mileage, and minimize fuel consumption to improve the productivity of your field teams.

Enhanced driver safety

Analyze risky driving behaviors (sudden acceleration, sudden braking, speeding) to tailor coaching strategies and reduce accidents.

Proactive Maintenance & Fleet Reliability

Use error codes, engine warnings, and actual mileage to schedule maintenance and minimize unplanned downtime.

Positive impact on sustainable development

Measure and reduce emissions, track energy efficiency, and support the electrification of your fleet.

Reduced insurance costs

Base your discussions with insurers on objective data regarding claims history and driving behavior to negotiate better rates.

Simplified Regulatory Compliance

Track driving times, route tracking, and emissions metrics to streamline audits and reporting requirements (CSRD, TCFD, etc.).

CarCollect: Your one-stop gateway to multi-manufacturer vehicle data

CarCollect is the API developed by Echoes to provide you with seamless access to data from major automakers, without the need for multiple integration projects.

1. For Dealers & Repair Shops
Optimize your after-sales services by triggering maintenance campaigns based on actual mileage and error codes. Manage your loaner vehicles with precise visibility into their usage.
2. For rental companies and mobility fleets
Track the usage of each vehicle in detail, detect misuse (excessive mileage, unauthorized use), and streamline billing.
3. For insurers
Speed up claims processing and detect fraud by leveraging secure, real-time vehicle data.
4. For developers & innovators
Quickly build new mobility apps (car sharing, ride-sharing, on-demand services) by focusing on the user experience rather than telematics integrations.

How Echoes collects fleet data

Echoes collects data from connected cars, either directly from automakers or via built-in devices, regardless of the car's make or model. This data is standardised into a universal format, enabling all mobility services to unlock the hidden value of their fleet data within minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a telematics API?
A telematics API is a software interface that allows your applications to communicate with vehicle onboard systems to retrieve data (location, status, events, etc.) in a secure and standardized manner.
2. Is CarCollect compatible with all vehicle brands?
CarCollect aims for broad compatibility by gradually integrating the major automakers. We work with you to verify the exact coverage of your fleet before the project begins.
3. How does CarCollect ensure data security?
Communications are secured using encrypted protocols, access is managed through keys and controlled permissions, and data is processed in compliance with the GDPR.
4. What are the requirements for using CarCollect?
You must have compatible connected vehicles, the necessary approvals from vehicle manufacturers, and teams or partners capable of integrating an API into your existing systems.
5. How does CarCollect differ from traditional telematics devices?
Unlike hardware-based solutions that require installation, CarCollect directly leverages OEM data, eliminates equipment costs, reduces operational complexity, and provides greater data reliability.
