The automotive industry is projected to reach 2.5 billion connections by 2030. This growth is driven by the increasing number of mobile, high-bandwidth cellular connections within the connected car ecosystem. Among 1NCE's 30,000 customers, over 16% are from the automotive sector. One notable success story we are excited to share is Ikon's.
1NCE has always put our needs first—they delivered exactly what we needed to support our growth. Their flexibility, global reach, and the dedicated support from the team have made a real difference.
Charles Stilwill, Executive Vice President , Ikon
Ikon Technologies, is a U.S.-based leader in automotive dealership solutions, which specializes in lot management, vehicle tracking, and customer retention tools. Their Find the Car, Find the Keys™ technology and Connect App empower streamline processes across sales, finance, and service departments. Ikon devices are installed on consignment at OEM dealerships, gathering data on vehicle location, driver's behavior, battery health, safety records, and more. The Toolbox App allows access to safety records, Carfax reports, and maintenance reminders.
Ikon is rapidly growing in dealership operations. However, with rapid growth often comes the need for scalability and smart approaches in business. The major requirement of the company was to make sure the devices were functioning across thousands of vehicles. Being focused on the US market, Ikon intended to grow in Canada, LATAM, and beyond, which means the solution for connected devices should bring more cost-efficiency and security. They also expected to 'top up’ connectivity on demand for better cost control.
1NCE supported Ikon to securely and instantly deliver vehicle data to the cloud. While Ikon remains focused on the U.S. market now, we're laying the groundwork for future steps into international markets. The top-up option and availability of High-data IoT can support the company within specific use cases. With dedicated support from the 1NCE team, Ikon can rely on consistent, responsive assistance for ongoing deployments.
Backed by our partnership with SoftBank Corp, teams across APAC use 1NCE to launch in local markets without the usual setup. Read how they did it.
