Mobility and mobile apps
Mobility is a major challenge in most of today’s jobs and the automobile repair and sales world is no exception. Ensure people’s mobility is now a whole new job, and as a result new players appear on the market.
In the mobile apps field, the players that are already present on the DMS market try to meet the growing demand of cars drivers, but also of dealers/repairers and of manufacturers themselves.
We can see apps for mobiles and tablets emerging, which allow to find quickly and easily the answers or pieces of information we are looking for. Privates and professionals may find their niche with them, however – when developed in “closed” mode – very few of these solutions are capable to communicate and to exchange pieces of information or data. If they could use or offer APIs or Webservices, theses apps may find a new outlet.
The general trend is currently with smart devices, from the manufacturer to the car to the dealer, the repairer, the hirer etc… even the tyres are soon to be smart and inform you of their wear. Regarding the brand-new innovation on the matter, some operators now offer artificial intelligence solutions installed into the car which learn to interpret your driving and listen to the performance of the car.
Far from being “spies” which observe each and every one of your actions, these solutions bring real answers to improve road safety and car maintenance thanks to predictive maintenance and targeted communications operations. All the operators and players of the automobile life cycle are involved and affected by these new technologies.
Solware Auto works on these aspects of mobility and smart vehicles in order to give meaning to the exchanges and make the car and driver life cycle more fluid.
