Develop a Scalable, Modular Mobile Telematics SDK for Connected Insurance Applications

Insurance providers are experiencing increasing demand for telematics-based policies to offer personalized rates and improve road safety. However, the existing development processes involve high maintenance costs and lengthy onboarding for new clients due to bespoke codebases. This hampers scaling efforts, delays time-to-market for new applications, and inflates operational costs.

A rapidly growing insurance provider seeking to implement telematics-driven connected insurance products that tailor premiums based on driver behavior and safety metrics.

• Create a modular, white-labeled mobile SDK that facilitates rapid deployment of personalized telematics applications with reduced onboarding time.
• Reduce the average app release cycle from over 6 months to approximately 4 months to enable faster market entry.
• Implement a shared, maintainable codebase to decrease ongoing maintenance costs and simplify updates across multiple client applications.
• Enable the client to onboard new insurance partners and expand their user base efficiently, supporting growth in a global market.

• Client-specific configuration engine for rapid customization of app features and user interface.
• Sensor data integration to collect accelerometer, GPS, and other relevant telematics information.
• AI & machine learning modules to generate driver scores and safety insights from sensor data.
• Crash detection and emergency response functionality for driver safety support.
• Secure data handling and encryption to comply with privacy regulations.
• Easy-to-use SDK interface to streamline integration and testing processes.
• Automated deployment and update mechanisms for quick release cycles.

• Sensor data collection APIs from device hardware
• Cloud-based data storage and analytics platforms
• Partner insurance backend systems for policy management
• Crash detection algorithms and telematics data pipelines

• Scalability to support millions of drivers globally
• High-performance data processing with minimal latency
• Availability of 99.9% uptime for SDK functionalities
• Compliance with data privacy standards such as GDPR and CCPA
• Ease of integration and minimal onboarding time for new clients

Implementing a modular, scalable telematics SDK will enable the insurance provider to rapidly onboard new partners, reduce application deployment cycles from over 24 weeks to approximately 16 weeks, and cut ongoing maintenance costs by up to 40%. The solution supports expanding the user base across multiple regions, ultimately making roads safer through improved driver safety insights and personalized premium offerings.
