Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Here integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Here calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Here data, across all 98 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Here access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Here, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Here is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Here.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Here action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements an intelligent queuing system that respects the specific transaction limits of your HERE plan. Depending on whether you are on a freemium or paid tier, HERE enforces different requests per second caps. When an agent hits a rate limit, Ceven catches the 429 error and applies an exponential backoff strategy. This ensures that your workflows do not fail during high volume bursts, such as when you are geocoding a large batch of new customer addresses. You can monitor your current quota usage in the HERE developer portal, and Ceven will log any persistent throttling issues in the workflow execution history for your review.
Ceven uses HERE to provide the intelligence layer for tracking rather than acting as the GPS hardware. You feed the current latitude and longitude from your telematics provider into Ceven, and the agent then calls HERE Traffic Flow and Routing APIs to calculate the updated estimated time of arrival. This allows the agent to detect if a vehicle is stuck in a new traffic jam and automatically notify the customer. While HERE provides the map and the traffic data, the actual movement data must be pushed from your hardware into the Ceven workflow via a webhook or another integration.
Geocoding is used when you have a specific, structured address and need the exact coordinates for a map pin or a routing start point. It is a precise conversion. Discover Places is a search tool used for broader queries, such as finding all gas stations within two miles of a truck. In Ceven, you would use the Geocode action for shipping labels and the Discover Places action for finding nearby amenities or points of interest. The agent knows which one to pick based on whether you provided a full street address or a general category of place.
The HERE Weather Alerts tool allows Ceven to assess hazards along a corridor. Instead of checking a single city, the agent constructs a GeoJSON FeatureCollection that represents the path of the vehicle. It then queries HERE to see if any severe weather warnings intersect with that specific line. This is critical for long haul logistics where a storm might be hundreds of miles away from the origin but directly in the path of the driver. Ceven can then trigger a workflow to suggest an alternative route that bypasses the weather event entirely.
Yes, Ceven can call the various tile APIs to retrieve base maps, satellite imagery, or hybrid views. The agent handles the complex math of converting geographic coordinates into the Web Mercator XYZ tile indices that HERE requires. You can instruct the agent to pull a specific zoom level and format, such as a PNG, and then attach that image to a report or an email. This is useful for creating visual snapshots of a delivery zone or a traffic hotspot to share with your operations team during a morning briefing.
HERE uses a combination of historical patterns and real time probe data from millions of vehicles. When Ceven requests a routing matrix or a specific route, the returned travel time includes current traffic congestion. However, it is important to note that some HERE API versions treat truck routing differently than car routing. Ceven allows you to specify the vehicle profile in the action call, ensuring that the travel time accounts for truck specific restrictions like bridge heights or weight limits, which would otherwise result in inaccurate arrival estimates for heavy vehicles.
Ceven acts as a secure conduit between your data source and the HERE APIs. We do not build a permanent database of your fleet locations or customer addresses. The coordinates are passed to HERE to get the required result, and that result is used to drive your workflow logic. Once the workflow completes, the transient location data is cleared from the active memory. You maintain full control over your data retention policies within your primary system of record, and Ceven only accesses the location data necessary to execute the specific task you requested.
Yes, the Waypoint Sequence tool in HERE supports a large number of stops, but the exact limit depends on your specific API key permissions and tier. In most production environments, you can optimize dozens of stops in a single call. If you have a massive route with hundreds of stops, Ceven can be configured to cluster those stops into smaller groups first and then optimize each group sequentially. This prevents timeout errors and ensures that the agent delivers a feasible route that the driver can actually follow without hitting API payload limits.
