Our Automotive Software Solutions

At Prodgrade, you get automotive software development services shaped to real programs and milestones. We work with product owners, plant managers and dealer leaders to deliver automotive software solutions that stay reliable through launches and model years.
If you are rolling out a connected vehicle platform, improving parts operations or building tools for drivers, we design for clarity, scale and long service life. Each building includes clear logs, strong security and documentation that your teams will use.

Vehicle Platforms

We build platforms that collect telematics, send over the air updates and run remote diagnostics. Systems speak CAN, LIN, UDS and DoIP so data moves from ECU to cloud without guesswork. Health events raise precise alerts, maintenance plans update in real time and drivers see simple messages they can act on.

Fleet Management Systems

We deliver tools for live location, driver behavior and route logic. Operators view trips, stops and idling in one place, then adjust plans to cut fuel waste and increase up time. Service tasks link odometer and fault codes so visits happen before a small issue becomes a breakdown.

In Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)

We design custom HMI with maps, media and voice that fit your brand and region. Screens match iOS and Android patterns where they help, then adapt to the vehicle context for fewer taps on the road. We integrate Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, add offline maps where needed and keep startup time short.

Driver Assistance Systems

We create software that supports lane keeping, forward collision alerts and blind spot checks. Camera and radar signals feed a sensor fusion layer that stays stable at speed and in changing light. Logs capture edge cases for engineers and clear events for service.

Automotive CRM and Dealer Platforms

We build platforms where sales, service and parts share one record. Leads flow to appointments, repair orders match parts and labor, and invoices close without manual reentry. Reports show store health by day and by model so leaders coach teams with facts.

Spare Parts and Inventory Systems

We design stock and warehouse tools that keep counts accurate across sites. Orders, pick lists and cycle counts sync with VIN and model, which reduces delays and returns. Buyers see supplier performance, pricing and fill rates so decisions improve over time.

Manufacturing Execution Systems

We deliver plant software that links lines, robots and quality checks. Real time views surface rejects, stoppages and takt time, while OPC UA bridges to PLC and SCADA. Supervisors see patterns by shift and station and can act before yield drops.

Mobility and Ride Sharing Apps

We create rider and driver apps with booking, fares, status and secure payments. Riders see arrivals, receipts and support. Drivers see clean shifts and payouts. Dispatch and risk tools sit behind the scenes to keep trips safe.

Car Rental Software

We build booking flows that match counters and kiosks. Fleet health, inspections and contract logic live in one dashboard. Payments, holds and refunds work cleanly with providers, so lines move quickly and customers leave with clear records.

Custom Automotive Software Development

If your case does not fit a template, we deliver custom automotive software development that matches your workflow, vehicle class and partner stack. We keep what works, replace what slows you down and leave room to grow without rework.

Our Automotive Software Development Process

We follow a path that fits real programs with fixed milestones. If your plan is a connected car stack, a plant wide ERP or an embedded app for a new model year, we shape work, so owners stay aligned and risk stays visible. Each stage ends with something you can review which keeps decisions close to facts and not assumptions.

Discovery and Planning

We map your current stack, target platforms and partners. Short workshops turn goals into user stories, non-functional needs and a first release that proves value without waiting for a full cycle.

Architects draw system boundaries, data flow and failure points. Designers prepare screens for drivers, technicians and back-office teams. Patterns follow iOS, Android and in vehicle HMI so tasks feel familiar the first time someone picks up the device.

We connect maps, telematics, CRMs, ERPs, payment rails and dealer tools. Contracts are versioned, retries are sane and errors surface with clear messages so teams know what to do.

We connect payment providers, cores, CRMs and data feeds with strong auth, versioning and performance checks.

Suites cover units, integration and end to end paths. Load checks protect peaks like campaigns and quarter close. For embedded work we add HIL and SIL, so logic holds when sensors get noisy or a bus drop frame.

Cloud or on premise. We set CI and CD, secrets, logs and alerts. Rollouts are staged with a clean rollback path. Runbooks give support a simple way to act when something drifts.

After launch we watch signals, remove bottlenecks and plan the next wins. Each release makes the platform faster, safer and easier to run which is how automotive software development services keep value growing.

Security and Compliance in Automotive Platforms

Connected vehicles and factories demand routine security not a onetime sweep. We embed controls into design, code and rollout so your automotive software solutions protect users and meet rules without slowing delivery.

  • End to end encryption: Data stays protected in transit and rest. Keys rotate on schedule and secrets live in a vault that matches your policy.
  • ISO 26262 awareness: Safety goals guide software for electronic systems. Assumptions and traces stay clean, so functional safety reviews move quickly.
  • UNECE WP.29 CSMS and SUMS practices: Processes support cyber management and update management. Evidence is captured as part of normal work not as an afterthought.
  • Secure OTA updates: Packages are signed, rollouts are staged and rollbacks are ready. Devices report status so you always know what is current.
  • Role based access control: Least privilege by default. Fine controls and audit trails cover driver apps, dealer portals and admin tools.
  • Cybersecurity frameworks: We follow AUTOSAR and NIST guidance along with GDPR where data laws apply. Threat models and regular scans reduce surprises later.
  • Privacy and consent: Collection is clear and limited. People can see records, export them or request removal where laws require it.
  • Penetration tests and scans: Routine testing finds weak points early. Findings turn into tracked fixes not shelf reports.
  • Cloud and on-premise safeguards: AWS, Azure or your data center. Network rules, backups and disaster plans keep services ready when traffic spikes.

 

By treating compliance as part of design, your automotive software earns trust with buyers, partners and regulators while staying ready for audits.

Advanced Technologies We Use in Automotive Software

We add technology where it helps then keep the stack lean so change is simple later. These choices support safe vehicles, calm operations and data you can act on today.

Models score driver behavior, predict failures and tune routes. Vision assists with lane lines and objects, so alerts feel timely and clear.

Firmware and microcontroller code talk to sensors and ECUs in real time. We work with CAN, LIN and automotive Ethernet for diagnostics, tracking and control.

iot systems

BI dashboards show health, usage and cost. Forecasts guide stocking levels, service slots and charging plans so planning feels simple.

Cloud native stacks process streams, manage fleets and run analytics. Logs and metrics help operators act before users notice an issue.

Chores like claims checks, invoices and stock updates run without clicks. Staff focus on exceptions and customers which improves cycle time.

Secure SDLC, code reviews, signed binaries and anomaly detection keep threats in check while teams ship on time. This is core to our automotive IT services approach.

Third Party Integrations and Embedded Systems

New builds must fit the tools you already use. We connect platforms, devices and cloud services so your automotive software development solutions work as a system with secure sync, clear logs and real time feedback.

  • Automotive CRMs and Dealer Management Systems DMS:
    Links to dealer platforms align leads, sales, service and parts so teams share one view. Appointments, RO status and parts availability stay in step which lowers wait times.
  • Fleet Management Systems:
    Trackers, driver apps and route engines connect for live trips and maintenance needs. Dispatch sees location, stops and idling in one board which keeps vehicles available.
  • ERP and Supply Chain Platforms:
    SAP, Oracle and Dynamics manage orders, stock and supplier data. Events move both ways so finance, plant and purchasing see the same truth.
  • Vehicle Telematics and IoT Platforms:
    APIs bring telemetry, alerts and diagnostics into a stream support can act on. Rules convert raw signals into tasks for service or roadside help.
  • Payment and Billing Gateways:
    Rentals, subscriptions and charging sessions post with clear receipts. Refunds and disputes follow a simple path which helps front line teams close cases.
  • Insurance and Compliance Systems:
    Usage data supports pricing and claims while reports meet regional rules. Integrations cut reentry and shorten investigations when events occur.
  • Cloud Hosting Providers
    AWS, Azure and Google Cloud provide scale and reach. Regions and networks match your policy and your users, so latency stays low.
  • Analytics and Reporting Tools:
    Power BI, Tableau or custom boards turn raw feeds into views leaders and operators can use. Shared dashboards improve calls in daily standups and quarterly reviews.

If you need a specific vendor or device integrated, we add it to the plan then prove it with a small slice before scaling. That is how an automotive software development company keeps risk low and momentum high.
