Integration

Reliable vehicle data is crucial for maintaining efficiency and uptime. Volvo provides extensive possibilities to share data with your existing systems – as well as the systems you are developing. A true benefit for operators, PTAs and third-party system suppliers.

Features for fleet management connectivity

In a bus or coach operation you are likely to find several digital tools and applications which can benefit from accurate and timely vehicle data. Volvo Connect has an API as well as a developer’s portal to simplify integration with other systems, based on each customer’s need. Volvo strongly supports integration and third-party development of new functions and services.

Real-time and historical data

The need for information is diverse. Reports and statistics are essential to follow trends and see the effects of changes. You will also want to set triggers to get notifications on certain events and when critical values are reached. For your integration purposes we provide both, through Volvo Connect and our fleet management connectivity.

 

Volvo fleet management connectivity and ITxPT

Volvo supports the idea that hardware and software must be designed so that modules can be integrated in a coherent architecture. That’s why Volvo has engaged in the ITxPT initiative, where we are a founding member. The non-profit association ITxPT enables an open architecture, data accessibility and interoperability between IT systems. The members of ITxPT develop the IT architecture for public transport and other mobility services together, based on standards and best practices.

Volvo Connect integration possibilities with external fleet management solutions

All bus and coach operators rely on several digital tools for the daily work. Fleet management systems provide data for energy and economy reporting, purchasing, HR management, traffic planning and more. To be able to integrate real-time and historical vehicle data seamlessly would, and will, simplify the operation and increase efficiency.

Endless opportunities with fleet connectivity

Volvo Connect is more than a fleet management solution. In addition to all the functions of the portal and access to vehicle data, it opens for the operator to create their own views and applications. By access to APIs and the associated developer portal, Volvo Connect provide the tools needed for the creation of efficient solutions.

Automated analysis for reduced TCO

Volvo Connect and our fleet management connectivity offers a range of useful functions. If you want to use vehicle data from Volvo in other bus fleet management software or systems, there is an open API that lets you capture certain types of data in a standardised format. All you need is to apply for an API account.
