Cloud & Platform
The PACE Cloud Is the Heart of PACE
The PACE Cloud is a powerful, flexible and secure IoT platform for the connected car, everything to do with mobility and many other use cases. Based on the PACE Cloud, you can implement your solution as you wish.
Apps & User Interfaces
The PACE Cloud is Maximally Flexible – in Many Respects
We connect to your customers according to your wishes via apps & user interfaces on the smartphone, in the web browser or in the vehicle display (HMI), which are fed from the PACE Cloud.
As a partner, you can directly access our API interfaces. We can alternatively provide you with browser applications tailored to your needs.
In addition, any sensors can be integrated into the PACE Cloud as data suppliers.
The PACE Ecosystem consists of many microservices and thus forms a modular composition of various applications and functions. You can customize your own system and thus implement exactly the solution that suits you best.
Apps & User Interfaces for Your Customers
Smartphone apps (iOS and Android), browser applications and vehicle displays (HMI) are the home of your end users.
Smartphone apps based on PACEKit technology bring your end users many features before, during, and after a trip. This turns their cars into smart cars and thus makes driving safer, cheaper, and more comfortable. An example is our own PACE Car app, which is also based on the PACEKit.
The constant growth of the range of features ensures that apps based on PACE technology always offer added value and remain exciting. All apps are developed natively for iOS and Android. This guarantees maximal usability and first-class user experience through high technical flexibility on the smartphone.
If your end users surf at home with an internet browser, they have access to their account through browser applications such as the PACE Cockpit in order to conveniently view and manage their data. Of course, we can also integrate such solutions into the vehicle display (HMI) for your end users.
All smartphone apps and browser applications are constantly synchronized and are therefore always up-to-date. Like this, your users always have their car with them on their phone and also quickly within reach when using their computer or laptop.
Your Connection to PACE
Realize disruptive business models by connecting to PACE and offer innovative services to your own customers or the PACE Community.
You can connect to PACE via our APIs or our browser dashboards. Using an API connection, you can integrate PACE functionalities and data directly into your own existing software systems. And as nowadays, integration is often everything, the PACE Cloud can be connected via REST APIs, Trigger APIs and Streaming APIs.
Alternatively, you can use the browser applications developed by PACE to integrate our solutions quickly and easily into your processes and workflows – the choice is yours.
An example of our browser applications is the PACE Dealer Dashboard for garages and car dealers.
Data Sources & Sensors
To provide cars with connectivity, data streams from multiple data sources and sensors can be uploaded into the PACE Cloud
This data input can be flexibly configured – depending on what you need for your application today or in the future.
OBD retrofit adapters, vehicle control units, partner backends, pure app applications, and many other transmitters connected to mobile assets can be included as data sources and sensors into the PACE Cloud.

PACE Link One
(Bluetooth LE) -
PACE Link Pro
(Bluetooth LE + SIM) -
PACE Hub
(Connectivity Hub)
The PACE Link One is a retrofit OBD2 adapter that connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth LE (4.1). This allows high data volumes to be transferred and real-time data from the vehicle to smartphone apps to be displayed – all of it with only the costs of a pure app solution. Combining extremely high compatibility (over 100,000 vehicle models) with attractive design, the PACE Link One is one of the smallest and safest adapters worldwide.
In addition to the Bluetooth LE (4.1) connection, the PACE Link Pro also establishes a mobile data connection via the built-in SIM card. This makes it ideal for usages with frequent driver changes (car sharing, car pools, etc.).
The PACE Hub has numerous interfaces which allow a direct connection to the Can-Bus among others. It is connected directly to the vehicle's power supply with the lowest possible energy consumption. The PACE Hub has a number of digital and analogue interfaces. On request, it can be equipped with connectivity (e.g. GSM, LTE, etc.) and can also act as a Bluetooth master. This allows all BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy 4.1) capable components in the vehicle to be connected, read out and controlled.

etc.
PACE can also easily be used with external hardware, such as OBD adapters, 12V connectors, fixed-mounted boxes, telematics boxes, or other retrofit solutions. Your desired hardware will be integrated into the PACE Cloud and the embedded mobile SDK PACEKit.
-
OEM controller
-
Output via manufacturer display
-
etc.
In order to connect production vehicles with the cloud, PACE software is integrated into vehicle control units. This integration is made possible by connectivity being installed in the series and/or by Bluetooth-capable control units.
-
Any kind of API
(e.g. BMW CarData)
Data from backends of car manufacturers or other telematics providers can be streamed into the PACE Cloud and integrated into your users' applications.
-
Smartphone used as sensor
If you want to fully rely on an app – without any hardware, PACE is the right partner for you. In this case, we maximize the data output of existing smartphone sensors. This enables you to implement elegant solutions in a simple and cost-effective manner.
PACE Ecosystem
The PACE Ecosystem consists of self-developed technology in the cloud, on mobile devices, and on browsers.
The PACEKit is the communication center on the mobile device.
The Mobile SDK PACEKit manages data, synchronizes it with the PACE Cloud, and keeps a cool head regarding the variety of smartphones (with different states of operating systems) and many communication protocols (Bluetooth, OBD, etc.).
The PACE Emergency Center manages location-based services.
It controls the Automatic Emergency Call (so-called eCall), Breakdown Call (so-called bCall) and many other location-based partner services. The system communicates securely, quickly, and purposefully with connected service providers and enables trigger/event-controlled services based on geo-positions.
The PACE Cockpit is the main focus for users online.
The web service PACE Cockpit forms the frontend and backend online. It is always synchronized with the mobile apps & applications of the users. It transmits all user-related, encrypted data and stores it securely.
The mobile apps are the users’ home on their smartphones
They are natively developed for the operating systems iOS and Android to guarantee first-class usability as well as technical flexibility. Mobile Apps from PACE are based on the Mobile SDK PACEKit.
The PACE Cloud is the control center of PACE
The telematics and IoT platform PACE Cloud is based on numerous microservices with interfaces for connecting partners. No matter whether you want to integrate your services into PACE or use the PACE streaming services to extend your services. On this basis, countless Internet of Things applications can be implemented.
The PACE Dealer Dashboard is the application for the aftermarket
On the basis of the Dealer Dashboard, garages and car dealers can implement new digital service models and thus strengthen their customer loyalty. In addition to remote diagnosis, a 1:1 communication with customers on vehicle-related topics (service offers, tire changes, reminders for HU/AU appointments, etc.) is possible.
