Developed the technology enabling smarter transportation for a global automotive company.
The brief.
Our client is globally known for high safety ratings and quality. They were seeking a partner to assist them with improving fleet logistics and enriching driver experiences. They needed a global team that could rapidly deliver inventive ideas and working prototypes. After an extensive search, the automotive enterprise selected Ascendum as their partners in innovation. Working closely with their internal teams, we created state-of-the-art auto technologies to drive their fleet business forward.
Our approach.
As part of this initiative we put together a global team of developers, UX designers, product owners, automation testers, and safety and liability experts in order to more rapidly provide ideas and working prototypes. We created multiple solutions, such as vehicle tracking, trip guides, equipment health monitoring, and fleet management solutions. We also became the first partners to showcase augmented reality for vehicle maintenance and fleet management, allowing drivers and managers less downtime for repairs.
We work with very few partners in the area of innovation and ideas, I can confidently say that Ascendum is our partner in innovation.
The outcome.
Because of our globally-distributed teams, we were able to rapidly deliver a growing portfolio of new innovations for this automotive giant at its international innovation hubs.We developed innovative solutions to accelerate their timeline on fleet logistics initiatives. The cutting-edge technologies have since become a part of several commercial rollouts and concept initiatives.
