Real-Time Fleet Monitoring with Secure, Scalable Data Streaming

About Bridgestone Mobility Solutions
‍Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, a division of Bridgestone Tires, powers the global Webfleet platform—one of the world's leading telematics solutions for connected fleets. By collecting and analyzing real-time vehicle data from millions of commercial vehicles, the company helps businesses increase safety, reduce fuel consumption, and maximize uptime across large-scale operations.

At the heart of this platform is a robust, highly sensitive real-time data streaming pipeline—one that must guarantee 100% availability, adhere to strict ISO compliance, and ensure complete data privacy for every fleet customer.

The Challenge: Real-Time at Scale, with Zero Margin for Error

Bridgestone Mobility faced a unique combination of real-time operational demands and complex governance requirements:

• Millions of live data points streaming in from connected vehicles every second
• Over 500 internal Kafka users needing access to production systems
• A strict need to control access to sensitive customer data
• A non-negotiable mandate to maintain ISO certifications and protect customer trust
• The need to detect and resolve data issues instantly—before they impact production

“We cannot afford to lose ISO certifications or customer trust.Our production data is only accessible to our 500+ team members via Data Streamhouse.” — Philipp Anger, Product Owner, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions

The Solution: Full Visibility and Control with the Data Streamhouse

Bridgestone selected the Data Streamhouse as the foundation of its data streaming observability and governance layer. The impact spanned across infrastructure, application teams, and business compliance:

Self-Service Governance with Full Access Control

With role- and group-based access permissions integrated into directory services, Bridgestone enforces least-privilege access to customer data across its 500+ Kafka users. Topic ownership, documentation, and namespace segmentation keep projects clean, secure, and well-organized.

Real-Time Application Monitoring

The intelligent Health Assistant keeps the data streaming infrastructure healthy—automatically detecting offset lag, monitoring partition assignments, and preventing poison pills from taking down critical apps. Uptime is proactively protected, not reactively restored.

Advanced Troubleshooting Tools

The Data Streamhouse empowers teams to search, filter, trace, and reprocess data records instantly—across offsets, partitions, or timestamps. When something breaks, any team member can isolate the root cause, correct the data, and get the pipeline back on track.

“Handling thousands of messages per second is a breeze with the Data Streamhouse. It makes it very easy for our team to find, correct, and reprocess messages at any scale, and enhance our operational efficiency.”
— Philipp Anger, Product Owner, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions

Auditability & Compliance

From tracking data access and stream configurations to providing full audit logs and data lineage, the Data Streamhouse enables Bridgestone to maintain full transparency—crucial for passing ISO audits and building trust with customers.

The Result: Reliable, Secure, and Compliant Data Streaming at Scale

By unifying monitoring, access control, and developer self-service into a single platform, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions turned a complex, high stakes streaming environment into a secure, high-performance command center:

• 100% uptime across mission-critical systems
• Full control over customer data access & compliance
• 500+ Kafka users enabled with safe, governed access
• Troubleshooting that takes minutes, not hours
• Fleet safety and operational efficiency improved globally
