Verizon Connect (formerly Hudge Telematics, acquired by Verizon in 2018)
In 2010, Congero implemented a full Oracle-based billing and revenue platform for Verizon Connect — then known as Hudge Telematics — a pioneer in telematics services for the automotive industry, in just 90 days. This solution enabled the client to monetize its services with manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, expand to other automotive brands, and consolidate a business that was later acquired by Verizon. The platform continues to operate to this day.
Desafio
Telematics was an emerging service and Verizon Connect — at the time operating as Hudge Telematics — had no mechanism to bill or collect revenue for its services. They needed a complete, fully functional platform ready for production in the shortest time possible. At the time, a typical Oracle BRM project took between 6 and 18 months to implement.
Solução ou tecnologia
The full Oracle stack was implemented, including Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) and Oracle Billing and Revenue Management (BRM). It was a greenfield deployment with no data migration required. Additionally, PayPal was integrated as a payment gateway for online collections.

04 / Long-Term Impact • A Key Differentiator for Congero
Resultados
The revenue platform was successfully launched in 90 days, setting an unprecedented milestone in the industry for Oracle BRM projects. This allowed Verizon Connect — then Hudge Telematics — to begin billing immediately, expand to multiple automotive manufacturers, and grow until being acquired by Verizon. The platform remains active today, supporting telematics services for the majority of major automotive brands worldwide.
O papel da Congero
Congero led the entire implementation as the primary professional services partner. The team was responsible for system installation, pricing configuration, comprehensive end-to-end testing, PayPal integration, and go-live support — all delivered within a 90-day window in close collaboration with Verizon Connect’s internal IT team.
Impacto
This project marked the beginning of a multi-year partnership and relationship that extended well beyond Huge Telematics. The key contact we worked with at Huge later joined Minac and brought our team into a similar implementation with Hyundai, as well as the Mass Mobile engagement described below. Perhaps most importantly, this project established our ability to deliver complex Oracle implementations in record time — and that capability became one of our key differentiators in the market.
