Summary
A leading Indian two-wheeler OEM — one of the largest in the country by sales volume — set out to differentiate in one of the world's most technology-conscious markets, bringing up to 24 intelligent features, from geo-fencing and remote diagnostics to speed limitation, remote immobilization and over-the-air updates, to both its electric (EV) and combustion (ICE) motorcycles, as well as a premium partner brand it produces and distributes.
Each feature relied on two communication channels working in concert: the rider's phone talking to the motorcycle over Bluetooth Low Energy, and the motorcycle staying permanently connected to the OEM's cloud over 4G cellular.

Complete software layer
OTCEngineering delivered the complete software layer — an embedded SDK, a cloud platform and a mobile integration stack — that lets the phone, the motorcycle and OEM's cloud operate as a single connected system, across three vehicle programs running in parallel.
The result is a connected-vehicle foundation that ships advanced features today, is built to evolve through OTA, and turns vehicle data into a long-term competitive and commercial advantage.

THE CHALLENGE
Making
three environments
speak the same language
The connected features the OEM wanted had no market-standard, ready-made implementation that worked consistently across both EV and ICE platforms.
Many stakeholders, different realities
The client defined the features, an external supplier built the instrument cluster, and an internal team developed the mobile apps. Aligning every party technically was a challenge in itself.

Built to scale and monetize
Beyond features, the OEM needed a data foundation to differentiate competitively and unlock new revenue streams — across current and future vehicle platforms.
The Challenge
Three environments, three languages
Mobile apps (iOS/Android), the in-vehicle dashboard (TCU) and the cloud each operate under different technical constraints — with no shared standard to make them communicate.

OUR SOLUTION
A complete end-to-end technology stack, owned by OTCEngineering
SDKs as a common language
OTCEngineering's software libraries — the SDKs — are integrated into both the instrument cluster and the mobile apps (iOS and Android). Acting like drivers, they let three different devices speak the same language, making the target features straightforward to implement where no market standard exists.
Two always-on communication channels
Phone-to-vehicle over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and vehicle-to-cloud over 4G cellular — keeping every motorcycle permanently connected to OEM's cloud as the backbone for every connected feature.
A high-availability cloud as the central brain
An auto-scaling, high-availability cloud platform with continuous development and deployment, configured as the heart of the solution — consolidating all vehicle and user data in one place.
Cross-platform by design
OTCEngineering's stack runs across multiple environments while respecting each device's technical limits — giving both the dashboard team and the mobile app teams a consistent foundation to build on.
Enterprise system integration
The cloud to OEM's ERP (SAP) and CRM (Salesforce + Siebel) was connected, so motorcycles register to the cloud during production and end users are identified across the entire system.
Technology consulting throughout
Sustained consulting with every project participant — the client defining features, the cluster supplier, and the internal mobile teams — so the SDK adapted cleanly to each team's distinct constraints and shipped on time.
Project Map
End-to-end software solution with deep technology consulting at its core: a complete stack — embedded SDK + cloud + app — that lets three very different devices understand each other and brings the client's desired features to life.
IMPACT & RESULTS
From market leader to technology leader
EXECUTIVE & BUSINESS
Technology Leadership
Advanced connected features set Indian OEM apart in a market where buyers weigh technology heavily in their decision.
Positioned as a technology leader, not only a volume leader.
Technical & R&D
