Telematics and dashcam provider Lytx released reusable user interface (UI) components to help technology partners reduce time to market and accelerate digital transformation by integrating pre-made UI components into their offerings, according to a company press release.
Lytx is creating a library of reusable UI components for its open application programming interface (API) functionalities along with step-by-step guides for integration. The components are reusable, meaning they can be implemented in multiple places inside applications, and are easily configurable and extensible using small amounts of code to accelerate innovation and minimize development effort. In addition, the reusable components are released under an open-source software license to enable developers to customize the components, which can be translated from English to provide localization where needed.

“With many technology service providers starting to offer video safety solutions as part of their portfolio of all-in-one solutions, seamless integration of video technology is key to accelerating speed-to-market and to reducing the developmental burden,” said Rajesh Rudraradhya, Lytx’s chief technology officer. “Lytx introduced modern, cloud-native APIs years ago to make it easier for companies to integrate Lytx’s video applications and other third-party applications. With reusable components, we are further simplifying the process of adding video, making it easier than ever to tap into our industry-leading video and MV+AI technology via the Lytx Vision Platform.”
The reusable UI components were developed to make integration easier, require fewer resources, and provide faster time-to-market for video telematics services. The components are powerful and easy to integrate, support most frameworks, and come with all relevant code, API calls, and documentation. Using reusable components can dramatically speed up the integration process, make work more efficient, and cut the overall time-to-market by up to 90%, allowing customers and partners to build custom solutions that can digitally transform their businesses, according to the press release.

“The goal of our Lytx Vision Platform is to help our customers and partners gain a competitive advantage and introduce innovative video services swiftly to their employees and customers,” Rudraradhya said. “Offering reusable components is just one of the many tools we provide to help our partners increase efficiencies, innovate and grow their customer value and profitability, and accelerate transformation in our industry.”
The first available reusable component is live video, allowing near real-time live video from the vehicle. More components are coming later this year.
