Focusing on the user

For users, the digital exchange of mobile order and telematics data internally and beyond company boundaries is often not yet possible, or only possible with disproportionately high investments. The necessary interfaces to existing ERP, transport management systems and other applications must then often be implemented by solution providers at great expense in terms of time and money. However, flexible data exchange between individual solutions plays an important role in the digitization of different business processes.
The OpenTelematics e. V. association, founded by four telematics specialists in 2018, is therefore committed to the simple exchange of vehicle and logistics data.
For this purpose, the founding members Jens Uwe Tonne (Couplink AG), Daniel Thommen (LOSTnFOUND AG), Hans-Jörg Nolden (AddSecure) and Thomas Gräbner (YellowFox) developed a software-independent, uniform standard interface.

Only if as many solution providers as possible make use of the new standard can digitization ultimately be driven forward in the broad masses. Then users will be happy about time and cost effective solutions and manufacturers will remain competitive in the long run.

The idea of our own association was born during NUFAM 2017. We have noticed that we and above all our customers face the same challenges.

Customer projects stagnated or often took a long time, as the interface connection to the primary system had to be carried out first. However, many companies are still downright afraid of digitization. After many intensive discussions, it was therefore clear that the know-how would be bundled in one association and a common solution would be created for all companies that generate mobile data.

The standard interface developed by OpenTelematics now enables customers to better exploit the potential of digitization, and projects can be implemented much more quickly.
