Pratt Miller Engineering (PME) operates in environments where performance is measured in milliseconds and decisions carry real consequences. Across motorsports, defense, and advanced mobility programs, PME builds highly specialized systems that have to work flawlessly when it matters most.
Known for its track-side technology supporting NASCAR and its championship-winning Corvette Racing program, PME lives at the edge of what’s technically possible. For years, DevIQ has partnered with PME to strengthen the software foundations behind vehicle management, data analysis, and simulation – helping engineers turn overwhelming volumes of vehicle data into insight they can actually act on.
Challenge
Race vehicle testing is unforgiving. Track time is expensive, limited, and leaves little room for trial and error. At the same time, modern race vehicles generate enormous volumes of data at high speed, often faster than teams can realistically capture, process, and learn from it.
To continue pushing vehicle performance forward, PME needed to modernize the systems used for collecting and analyzing this data. Just as importantly, they wanted to reduce dependence on live track testing by introducing a simulation capability that could model complex vehicle behavior and data flows without ever rolling a car onto the track.
The objective was not simply better tooling, but faster iteration, lower testing costs, and greater confidence that engineering decisions were grounded in accurate, timely data.
Solution
DevIQ partnered closely with PME’s engineering teams to design and build a suite of desktop and web-based tools focused on high-performance data collection, analysis, and simulation. From the outset, the work was approached as a long-term platform investment rather than a one-off project.
Under the flagship product name VES, DevIQ helped PME develop a motorsports-focused vehicle engineering system capable of ingesting, processing, and visualizing complex data streams. While purpose-built for racing, VES was designed to be highly configurable, allowing it to be adapted to other vehicle development and mobility programs without major rework.
This foundation also enabled the creation of a next-generation simulation platform known as STS. Built on top of the VES baseline, STS allows engineers to model complex inputs and outputs, explore edge cases, and validate design decisions virtually. By shifting more experimentation into simulation, PME can significantly reduce the cost and risk associated with physical testing while expanding the range of scenarios teams can evaluate.
Throughout the engagement, DevIQ worked side-by-side with PME engineers, aligning closely with their workflows, performance requirements, and long-term product roadmap. The result is a tightly integrated toolset that supports both race-week execution and ongoing innovation.
Technologies
The solution leverages a modern, production-ready technology stack designed for performance, scalability, and maintainability:
- Microsoft Azure
- .NET (C#)
- WPF
- HTML / CSS
- JavaScript
Result
Today, the partnership between PME and DevIQ continues as a long-term collaboration built on trust and shared accountability. By modernizing core systems and forming focused, cost-effective engineering teams, PME can respond quickly to detailed engineering needs without sacrificing reliability or performance.
The impact shows up where it matters most – during race-critical operations. Engineers have clearer data, faster feedback loops, and simulation tools they can rely on before a car ever reaches the track. That confidence reduces risk, lowers testing costs, and helps PME’s motorsports teams show up prepared, focused, and ready to perform at the highest level.
