Telematics API
CarCollect, the telematics API that’s revolutionizing your fleet management.
Simplify access to telematics data from all your automotive manufacturers through a single, powerful API. CarCollect centralizes and standardizes multi-brand vehicle data to power your fleet management tools, business applications, and mobility services in real time.
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 level, 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 & compliance
Take advantage of a secure architecture designed for data protection and regulatory compliance.
Telematics
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 send 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 gateway, each vendor imposes its own portal, formats, and access rules, which complicates integrations and slows down your projects.
Bénéfices
Fleet management solutions for:
01
Cost reduction & increased productivity
Optimize your routes, reduce empty-run mileage, and minimize fuel consumption to improve the productivity of your field teams.
02
Enhanced driver safety
Analyze risky driving behaviors (sudden acceleration, sudden braking, speeding) to tailor coaching efforts and reduce accidents.
03
Proactive maintenance & fleet reliability
Use error codes, engine warnings, and actual mileage to schedule maintenance and minimize unplanned downtime.
04
Positive impact on sustainable development
Measure and reduce emissions, track energy efficiency, and support the electrification of your fleet.
05
Reduced insurance costs
Base your discussions with insurers on objective data regarding claims history and driving behavior to negotiate better rates.
06
Simplified regulatory compliance
Track driving times, route history, and emissions metrics to streamline audits and reporting requirements (CSRD, TCFD, etc.).
Use cases
CarCollect: your one-stop gateway to multi-vendor 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.
01
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.
02
For rental companies and mobility fleets
Track the usage of each vehicle in detail, detect misuse (excessive mileage, unauthorized use), and streamline billing.
03
For insurers
Speed up claims processing and detect fraud by leveraging secure, real-time vehicle data.
04
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 it works
How Echoes collects fleet data.
Echoes collects data from connected cars directly from automakers or built-in devices, regardless of make or model. This data is standardized into a universal format, enabling all mobility services to unlock the hidden value of their fleet data in just a few minutes.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a telematics API?
A telematics API is a software interface that allows your applications to communicate with in-vehicle systems to retrieve data (location, status, events, etc.) in a secure and standardized manner.
Is CarCollect compatible with all vehicle brands?
CarCollect aims for broad compatibility by gradually integrating the major automakers. We will work with you to verify the exact coverage of your fleet before the project begins.
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.
What are the requirements for using CarCollect?
You must have compatible connected vehicles, the necessary approvals from manufacturers, and teams or partners capable of integrating an API into your existing systems.
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 more reliable data.
