Giving connected tires room to scale with an AWS IoT migration
Vervint’s client is a world leader in tire management technology, providing real-time data on tire use, status, and wear through connected pressure automation and predictive analytics. Their technology helps fleet operators improve forecasting, reduce emergency roadside service calls, and plan maintenance proactively, keeping vehicles safer and more efficient on the road.
As an early adopter of connected tire technology, the client’s original web-based IoT platform had become difficult to maintain and scale, so Vervint helped migrate the entire system to AWS, rebuilding it with modern IoT best practices and integrated data analytics to support the company’s next phase of growth.
Modernize without disrupting customers
Move off an aging, hard-to-maintain platform onto a fully cloud-based system without interrupting service for existing fleet customers.
Build in room to grow
Architect a scalable solution that could handle rapid future growth in a cost-effective way.
Turn data into more value
Integrate AWS data analytics to give customers deeper insight beyond the core connected-tire product.
An early mover ready for what’s next
This client was an early adopter of IoT, pioneering connected tire inflators that could work even while a vehicle was in motion, as a way to improve fleet management at scale. But the company’s original web-based IoT platform was challenging to maintain and difficult to scale, and they needed a fully cloud-based system that could improve cost control and scalability to accommodate rapid future growth, all without disrupting current customers. Referred to Vervint through the AWS partner program, the client found a transparent, trustworthy partner for the migration ahead.
Blowing past capacity expectations
Vervint re-platformed the connected tire product onto AWS, integrating AWS data analytics using IoT best practices to improve functionality, scalability, and cost control. The client had expected the new platform to support around 200,000 vehicles per stack; in production, it’s actually handling 300,000 to 400,000, a 50-100% improvement over expectations.
Beyond capacity, the migration drove meaningful savings in casing life, fuel consumption, uptime, and accident and service failure avoidance, giving customers more flexibility to address tire health issues economically. The quality of the migration also helped bridge the gap between business and technical teams internally, and inspired the rest of the organization to raise its own ambitions.
With a platform already outperforming expectations, this tire management leader is positioned to keep pushing connected tire technology further, helping fleets everywhere get more miles, more safety, and more value out of every tire.
