The Problem

Understanding how vehicles are used, whether in a company fleet or personal driving, is often fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to track. Most drivers lack visibility into their own behavior on the road, while organizations struggle to monitor trip details, detect aggressive driving patterns, or ensure vehicles are operated safely.

Without accurate data from the car, the driver, and the route, it becomes nearly impossible to identify risks, improve driving habits, or make informed decisions. Drivers and companies need a unified system that combines vehicle metrics, GPS data, and behavioral insights to support safer, more efficient, and more accountable driving.

Technical Challenge

DriveNtell was built as an advanced iOS telematics platform capturing vehicle data, driving behavior, and real-time trip insights. The system required seamless integration between hardware sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS tracking, and cloud processing to ensure accurate monitoring, reliable data flow, and a smooth user experience across all driving conditions.

What we worked on:

Bluetooth integration - real-time data

Scoring analytics - daily insights

Driving detection - speed and events

Cloud data sync - secure storage

GPS trip tracking - routes and times

Custom settings - drive preferences

Audio feedback - instant coaching

Trip management - history insights

Ecosystem and Benefits

DriveNtell combines a connected telematics ecosystem, linking vehicle sensors, a Bluetooth dongle, GPS tracking, and cloud processing through a single iOS application, with a clear set of practical benefits for everyday drivers and fleet operators. By centralizing trip data, behavior events, and driving patterns, the platform helps users build safer driving habits, understand their trips with precise insights, track performance through scoring, and maintain better control over how their vehicles are used. This unified system transforms raw driving data into meaningful guidance, making daily trip organization simple and empowering users to improve awareness, safety, and overall driving quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you integrate AI into an existing software product?

Absolutely. Our team can assess your current system and recommend how artificial intelligence features, such as automation, recommendation engines, or predictive analytics, can be integrated effectively. Whether it's enhancing user experience or streamlining operations, we ensure AI is added where it delivers real value without disrupting your core functionality.

2. What types of AI projects has ASSIST Software delivered?

We’ve developed AI solutions across industries, from natural language processing in customer support platforms to computer vision in manufacturing and agriculture. Our expertise spans recommendation systems, intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and custom machine learning models tailored to specific business needs.

3. What is ASSIST Software's development process?

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

4. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

5. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.

A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)
Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.
Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).
Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

6. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions.

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.
