Control, Speed, Scale: Why OEMs Are Asking for Custom APIs (and Why We Build Them)

In fast-moving industries—where devices ship daily, activations need to happen now, and human delays cost real money—manual connectivity workflows don’t cut it anymore.

You don’t need another portal to log into.
You need a direct line. One your platform can use to activate, provision, and sync devices automatically—without waiting on anyone to click a button.

That’s exactly why we offer custom APIs for OEMs and large manufacturers.

Let’s break it down.

🔍 What Is an API—and Why Should You Care?

API = Application Programming Interface.

Think of it as a bridge—connecting your system (ERP, device management platform, CRM, etc.) to ours. This bridge lets the two platforms share data, trigger actions, and stay in sync automatically.

💡 Example: You ship a device → Your system tells our API → The SIM is provisioned + tagged in DAC IQ in real time → Ready to go when the box hits the ground.

No email chains. No manual setup. No delays.

🚀 Why a Custom API?

There are plenty of plug-and-play integrations out there. But if you’re moving real volume—or if your workflows aren’t cookie-cutter—you need something built for you, not just “compatible with.”

A custom API means:

  • Tailored endpoints to match your operations
  • Provisioning flows that reflect your internal logic
  • Data exchange that’s actually useful to your team
  • Speed. Consistency. Scale.

We’ve built APIs for device manufacturers, RTK providers, OEMs, and more. The goal is always the same: less friction, more control.

📩 Ready to Streamline at Scale?

If you’re shipping thousands of devices, managing high-value deployments, or just done with the drag of manual provisioning—let’s talk.

We’ll help you build the bridge between your systems and ours. You bring the use case. We’ll bring the speed.
