Archer Software: New Solutions for the Connected World

“Much time, many changes.” Decades ago, automotive industry focused on inventing cars for various segments and the methods to increase performance. Today, the scenario is different. There’s a lot more that goes into a modern automobile. Sensors, software, processors—innovations have given rise to the ‘connected car.’ And therein lies the problem—classic Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are facing challenges in designing these modern machines which in addition to aligning with industry regulations also need to provide consumers a seamless experience. A veteran in the industry, Archer Software—a premier software development firm—is well positioned to help these firms tackle the issues. The company uses advanced technology to pro¬vide reliable, energy-efficient, and secure connected car solutions. Headquartered in New York, the company specializes in mobile, web, embedded and UX/UI development. “We help clients build products for Telematics, Infotainment and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),” says Alexey Tulin, President, Archer Software.

For monitoring the quality of driving, Archer Software offers driving behavior monitoring and safety management solutions, which provide insight about map analysis and accident prone zones. Customers in the fleet management space are benefited from this feature as they can pay the employees based on the driving behavior. As many customers approach Usage Based Insurance (UBI), the employees’ quality of driving will be directly connected to the insurance payments. The safety management solution detects collisions and dangerous road locations with its sensors to avoid accidents. “Our solution’s real-time tracking system provides in-vehicle feedbacks on aggressive driving and speeding to the clients,” delineates company COO, Alex Sharko.

In one instance, the firm worked with a client in an embedded technology and programming project—on building a specific application for monitoring and examining the vehicles of the major OEMs. The client was able to examine and analyze the behavior of the vehicle through the data retrieved from the Passenger Car Units (PCUs) and Electronic/Engine Control Units (ECUs).
