Velio and Carvoyant form strategic partnership to deliver next gen connected vehicle solutions

Partnership marries high performance, cost effective Velio OBDII hardware and data with Carvoyant’s open platform and development community.
 
TAMPA, Fla. - Jan. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Velio and Carvoyant are partnering to provide developers with an end-to-end solution to launch and manage connected vehicle applications.

This partnership brings easier development options for Velio clients while offering Carvoyant clients more capabilities for vehicle data collection and transmission. Carvoyant’s position as an open data platform offers broader use of the data collected by Velio enabling a Velio connection to feed a wider range of connected car solutions.

“The connected car will be stuck at the dashboard unless developers get access to a universal and open development platform that is easy to work with,” said Renz Kuipers, Carvoyant’s COO. “In order for the connected car to become pervasive, developers of all sorts need an easy universal interface in which to engage.”

Carvoyant’s clients are currently building solutions for fleets, car dealers, and individual consumers to either optimize a business or help a consumer save money through a connected vehicle.  Carvoyant’s toolset enables developers across platforms; adding depth to Velio’s offerings by enabling greater uses of the data flowing from Velio’s devices.

“Velio is focused on continuously improving the data our devices collect so our clients know they are using a best in class system. Because Carvoyant offers a broad and open data management solution we wanted to partner with Carvoyant to enable easier translation of our data,” said Christian Kerssens, Velio’s CEO.  “Carvoyant makes it easier for developers to get more out of the outbound data generated by our devices. With Carvoyant’s API vehicles can connect to enhanced smart parking, engage with connected homes, provide relevant notifications for safety, maintenance and tracking of vehicles and much more.”

Velio offers R&D and manufacturing facilities in China with sales, support and an extensive partner network in the United States and Europe.  The company designed their small OBD-II devices to meet data requirements at a competitive cost, globally.  Packaged with monthly data connectivity, Velio focuses on delivering the most relevant vehicular data to the widest audience.

Carvoyant’s API is the interface that sits above the hardware but below the user interface. Similar to middleware common in the computer industry, Carvoyant’s service is this missing layer to broad development.

The Carvoyant API supports multiple hardware makers meaning developers can use Carvoyant’s API and launch today. Carvoyant manages this data flow allowing applications to respond the same whether the connected vehicle is a 1999 Japanese built or 2007 German made vehicle.  By partnering with companies specializing in device manufacturing, like Velio, Carvoyant clients can rest assured their devices are well tested and consistently gather the data they need to power their specific applications.
