What CTOs Say
Smartbrain.io delivered two Kotlin coroutines gurus in 4 days. They plugged into our IVI team, refactored legacy Java, and cut cold-crank start-up time by 18 %. The rapid onboarding let us hit the Tokyo Motor Show deadline without overtime.
Carla Jenkins
CTO
VectorDrive Systems
Their KMM specialists integrated cross-platform telematics libraries, enabling Android & iOS parity in one sprint. Build failures dropped 42 %, and OTA update cycles shortened from 3 weeks to 5 days. Pure Kotlin excellence.
Miguel Carter
Engineering Director
FleetCore Logistics
We had zero luck sourcing Jetpack Compose talent locally. Smartbrain.io sent a screened shortlist overnight; our new lead shipped a custom HMI theme in ten days. Cost per release down 27 %.
Emily Ross
Product Owner
InnovaDash Mobility
Their Kotlin multiplatform engineers fortified our CAN bus analytics module with coroutine Flow, cutting heap usage by 35 %. QA found 60 % fewer regressions in the very next sprint.
Robert Nguyen
Head of Software
DataTorque Analytics
Smartbrain.io’s senior architect mapped an end-to-end vehicle-to-cloud path, then guided our devs via pair-programming. Release readiness advanced by six weeks, saving our marketing budget.

Where Kotlin Augmentation Delivers Value
OEM & Tier-1
Automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers rely on Kotlin-powered teams to build IVI, ECUs, and secure OTA pipelines. Augmented specialists handle protocol parsing, Kotlin coroutines for real-time data, and Jetpack Compose HMIs, trimming release cycles while meeting MISRA-C++ interfaces. Outstaffing lets core R&D stay focused on ADAS while external experts tackle connected-car middleware and certification documentation.
Fleet & Logistics
Logistics operators need fast telematics dashboards and predictive maintenance engines. Kotlin developers create VIN-centric micro-services, integrate CAN frames into cloud analytics, and craft Android-based driver tablets. Staff augmentation delivers geographic time-zone overlap and elastic scaling during seasonal fleet expansion without adding permanent payroll.
Insurance Telematics
Usage-based insurance demands high-frequency data ingestion and risk scoring. Kotlin multiplatform engineers develop SDKs for on-device data capture, secure BLE pairing, and real-time scoring APIs. Outstaffing offers specialised security expertise and swift compliance with Japan’s APPI regulations while internal teams stay on actuarial models.
Ride-Hailing & MaaS
Mobility-as-a-Service providers need passenger apps, driver consoles, and dispatch engines. Kotlin coroutines enable low-latency location streaming; Compose ensures UI parity across brands. Augmented squads ramp up to meet city-launch deadlines, then scale back once KPIs stabilise—protecting burn rate.
EV Charging
Charging-network operators must orchestrate station firmware, mobile payments, and roaming protocols. Kotlin specialists build OCPP clients, fault-tolerant backends, and Android Auto extensions. Outsourced augmentation speeds ISO-15118 compliance while internal hardware groups stay on power-electronics innovation.
Aftermarket IoT
OBD-II dongles, dashcams, and smart sensors pump gigabytes of data. Kotlin Flow pipelines de-noise streams before hitting cloud ML. External developers add Bluetooth LE, security hardening, and mobile companion apps, reducing TTM for accessory brands facing fierce retail cycles.
Smart Cities
Municipal ITS teams ingest connected-vehicle feeds for traffic optimisation. Augmented Kotlin engineers craft Kafka consumers, edge gateways, and analytics dashboards, ensuring compliance with government cybersecurity baselines and delivering measurable congestion reduction.
Automotive E-Commerce
Dealers and parts retailers embed live vehicle telemetry into sales portals. Kotlin developers implement GraphQL gateways and AR car-viewer apps. Outstaffed talent boosts sprint velocity around flash-sale peaks without diverting the core webshop team.
Public Transit
Rail and bus operators modernise ticketing and on-board infotainment via Kotlin multiplatform kiosks. Augmented teams provide CANopen integration, remote diagnostics, and automatic fare collection modules—meeting strict uptime SLAs while internal staff focus on route scheduling algorithms.
Automotive Connected Car App Development Case Studies
Japanese OEM – OTA Platform
Client: Top-10 Japanese automotive manufacturer.
Challenge: Automotive Connected Car App Development demanded a scalable OTA platform that existing Java team could not deliver on time.
Solution: Smartbrain.io embedded six senior Kotlin architects who refactored legacy services into reactive micro-services, implemented binary-diff updates, and automated rollbacks. Continuous delivery pipelines were set up in only two sprints.
Result: 38 % latency reduction in update delivery and 0 post-release rollbacks across 1 million vehicles.
