# Howen

Howen Technologies specializes in Vehicle Service Systems (VSS) with a focus on cost-effective, AI-enhanced video telematics solutions. Their devices feature expandable capabilities including facial recognition, driver monitoring, and advanced driver assistance systems.

Integrating Howen VSS with Navixy combines video surveillance with fleet management in one interface. Let's explore how to implement this integration and embed the Howen VSS dashboard into your Navixy interface.

**Establishing integration**

To establish the integration, you'll need to provide your Howen account credentials and request integration setup from our support team.

1. **Contact Navixy**: Get in touch with your Customer Success Manager or use [this form](https://www.navixy.com/contact/) to send a request for Howen integration with your Navixy account. Include the following information:
   1. **Your Howen account information**
   2. **Request for Howen integration activation**
2. **Wait for Confirmation**: Our specialists will configure the integration in 1-3 days and confirm when it's ready for use.

After you receive confirmation from our support team, your Howen account is ready for the integration!
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Adding a Howen device to Navixy**

After receiving confirmation from our support team that the integration is ready, you can add your Howen device to the platform. To do this, follow the usual device activation procedure:

1. Go to **Device activation**
2. Select your Howen device from the list
3. Enter the correct **Device ID** (device IMEI)
4. Complete the device configuration

For detailed instructions on how to activate a device in Navixy, see [Activate GPS device](https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/quick-start/activate-gps-device).

{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Embedding Howen VSS in Navixy UI**

At this step, we perform the actual integration by embedding the Howen VSS dashboard into your Navixy interface.

Navixy offers [User applications](https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/account/user-applications) functionality that allows embedding 3rd-party apps directly in the platform's interface. We will use it to embed Howen VSS.
