# Planning your integration

> Options for integrating with Axle

Typically an integration with Axle will involve a combination of the following:

* **User flows**: How users sign up and register their assets
* **Asset control**: How we communicate with the assets to collect telemetry and control them

# Building user flows

We provide three integration modes, offering a balance of speed and power to match your needs and developer resources.
In all cases, your brand remains front and center - Axle will always remain in the background.

# Asset telemetry & control

To participate in flex markets, we need to collect telemetry from assets and control them. For more
details of the telemetry required by each market, see [Markets](../markets/gb).
