Car-sharing
Car-sharing telematics that replace the key with a digital one: keyless vehicle access over BLE, identity checks, usage-based billing and remote immobilisation. Built for car-sharing operators, short-term rental and shared leasing fleets.
Trusting someone with a vehicle, not with a key
A car-sharing service, a rental company or a shared leasing fleet all face the same questions. How do you hand out access to the vehicle without swapping physical keys? How do you react fast to theft, fraud, an unpaid balance or a vehicle that is not returned? How do you bill real usage, by time and distance, without ending up in a dispute? And how do you stay on top of the state and availability of the fleet, continuously? Our telematics answer those four points on a single platform, developed in-house in Nivelles.
The technical building block of your car-sharing service
Temporary digital key over BLE
The key is generated for a set driver and duration, then revoked remotely. The smartphone talks to our device over BLE to unlock and start the vehicle. The physical key stays inside, secured, with no handover at a counter.
Identity and licence checks
The user is verified before access: identity, driving licence, and depending on your model, payment and score. The vehicle only activates for the right person, through your sign-up flow connected to our API.
Secure remote immobilisation
In case of fraud, an unpaid balance or non-return, engine immobilisation is triggered remotely by cutting the starter, only when the vehicle is at a standstill. A moving vehicle is never cut off while driving.
The vehicle under watch
Real-time position, geofencing, mileage, fuel or charge level, impacts: every rental is documented. Disputes are settled with time-stamped data, not conflicting accounts.
Keyless access and usage-based billing
Our devices, developed in-house, drive unlocking and starting through a digital BLE key. The driver's smartphone replaces the physical key, which stays secured inside the vehicle. Connected to the CAN bus, they read the fuel level, speed and odometer to calculate billing by time and distance from real data.
The same connection handles control: remote engine immobilisation by cutting the starter, only at a standstill, in case of fraud or an unpaid balance. All driven from your own application, white-labelled, through our API.
- Digital vehicle key over BLE: unlock and start with no physical key
- CAN bus reading: fuel level, speed and odometer for billing
- Remote immobilisation by cutting the starter, only at a standstill
- Real-time tracking, geofencing and driver identification
What telematics change for your fleet
Fewer thefts and frauds, fewer losses on vehicles that are not returned, automated billing that cuts disputes, faster rotations and better availability. The gains depend on your model and your fleet, and we quantify them with you.
A vehicle that is not returned on time
The booking is over and the vehicle does not come back. The platform flags the overrun, locates the car in real time and checks its state on the CAN bus. After a contact attempt and according to your rules, the digital key is revoked. If the vehicle is at a standstill, the next start is blocked and the position keeps being tracked until recovery.
The same sequence covers unpaid balances and abusive use. Every decision rests on a time-stamped history, not on one account against another.
- Alerts for booking overrun and zone exit (geofencing)
- Remote revocation of the digital key
- Next start blocked, vehicle at a standstill
- Time-stamped history to settle disputes
Frequently asked questions
How do you give access to a car-sharing vehicle without a physical key?
The digital key is generated for a set driver and duration, then revoked remotely. The smartphone communicates over BLE with our device to unlock and start the vehicle. The physical key stays secured inside and no handover at a counter is needed.
Can you remotely block a rental vehicle that is not returned?
Yes. In case of non-return or an unpaid balance, engine immobilisation is commanded remotely by cutting the starter, only when the vehicle is at a standstill. A moving vehicle is never cut off while driving. The position keeps being tracked until recovery.
How do you bill a shared vehicle based on usage?
Our devices read usage time, mileage via the odometer and the fuel level on the CAN bus. That real data feeds your billing by time, distance and consumption, which reduces disputes and speeds up rotations.
How do you secure a leasing fleet against fraud?
Real-time tracking, geofencing, alerts on zone exit and abnormal behaviour, access control through the digital key and secure remote immobilisation. Every rental is documented, which limits theft, fraud and losses on vehicles that are not returned.
How do you validate the driver's identity and licence?
The driver is verified before access: identity, driving licence, and depending on your model, payment and score. The vehicle only activates for the right person. Validation integrates into your sign-up flow through our API.
Can we integrate your technology into our own application?
Yes, that is the main use case. Our API and white-label platform drive digital keys, activations, immobilisation and vehicle data from your own application, under your own brand. A clean, reversible installation is carried out by our team for the unlocking command and the immobiliser.
