Sayartech

Tunisia's first connected car platform, launched in partnership with Ooredoo at the Tunisia Mobility Congress 2017. An OBD-II dongle turns any vehicle into a smart car — real-time GPS tracking, driving behavior scoring, crash detection, and vehicle diagnostics delivered through a mobile app branded by the country's largest telecom operator.

How It Works

1

OBD-II Connection

A plug-and-play dongle connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port. No wiring, no installation — just plug in and the car is connected. The device reads engine data, GPS coordinates, and accelerometer readings in real time.

2

Telco Data Relay

Vehicle telemetry streams over Ooredoo's cellular network to the cloud backend. The partnership with Tunisia's largest operator ensures nationwide coverage and a bundled data plan for connected car services.

3

Cloud Processing

Raw telemetry is processed into actionable insights: trip history, driving behavior scoring (acceleration, braking, cornering, speed), fuel consumption estimates, and fault code interpretation.

4

Mobile App Experience

Drivers access everything through the Sayartech app: live map view, vehicle status dashboard, driving score with detailed breakdown, trip logs, and instant crash alerts sent to emergency contacts.

Architecture

📡

Ooredoo Integration

White-label partnership with Tunisia's largest telecom. Bundled data SIM in the OBD-II dongle, co-branded app, and distribution through Ooredoo's retail network. Positioned as a value-added service to increase ARPU.
