Axon Case Study
To quickly adapt to social distancing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, Axon Telematics, a leading supplier of high-quality telematics solutions, needed to bring a self-install usage-based insurance (UBI) solution to market in a very short timeframe. With help from Aeris, Axon was able to deploy a stellar product that reliably collected driver behavior data for the insurer in near-real time, regardless of vehicle location, and provided turnkey self-activation and self installation experience for the policyholder — in less than two weeks from contract signing.

Having already partnered with Aeris on a prior project, Axon knew Aeris offered the perfect mix of technology and expertise to help them respond quickly to their unexpected opportunity.
Rapid Launch
Aeris’ APIs, which enable automatic provisioning, activation, deactivation, and suspension of SIMs throughout their lifecycle, enabled Axon to rapidly deploy a turnkey product that end users could install on their own, without needing to interact with a technician. Aeris’ white-glove onboarding support included device configuration and testing assistance, enabling Axon to launch in a matter of weeks.
Superior Coverage
Aeris’ performance-optimized multi-carrier coverage eliminates reliance on a single network provider, ensuring near real-time transmission of data regardless of device location. Axon can be confident that policyholders will be able to easily register and activate their devices wherever they are.
Attractive Cost Structure
Aeris’ pay-as-you-go plan removed the financial risk of overages for Axon—they wouldn’t have to pay for data their customers don’t use. A flexible payment plan made it faster for Axon to gain internal approval and quickly launch their solution.
