Build on DIMO

Getting started as a build on DIMO developer

Developer Classification

Building on DIMO offers several paths, simplified here into two main routes: Data Providers and Data Consumers. Within the two respective routes, you can choose to be any of the following: hardware manufacturer, integrated data provider, web app builder, and mobile app builder. Each route provides a unique entry point to the DIMO ecosystem, connecting you to our network of consumers and vehicles.

The Build on DIMO Ecosystem

Data Provider Route

Optionally, you can take vehicle data from existing integrations before feeding generated data insights into the network.
