Challenge
What we set out to solve.
The operator needed software to remotely manage their sites with three fundamental objectives — monitor and operate charging stations over a secure network, optimize energy usage, and build infrastructure for operating EV charging stations at scale.
- 01
Multi-role operations
Securing the needs of administrators, dispatchers, and maintenance teams in a single platform.
- 02
Process optimization
Optimizing numerous overlapping business processes that previously lived in spreadsheets.
- 03
Heterogeneous hardware
Providing a system with health checks and unified data reports across multiple charging manufacturers.
Solution
How we built it.
Reliable Maintenance and Health Checks
One of the key solutions we've come up with was to provide adequate maintenance, system health checks, and a well-established support system. All of this aims to prevent failures of charging equipment. In addition, such an approach makes the charger management network stable, reliable, and competitive.
Data-driven Monitoring System
Another critical aspect of the software is a convenient analytical system that provides constant reports and insights. In addition, it enables controlling energy usage by various indicators and measuring ROI (Return on Investment) remotely by operators.
Prioritized Security
There are several risks in fleet management, from malware to potential hacks and power outages. Thus, the security of such a network is vital. Our experts did their best to ensure it.
Platform features
What we shipped.
Transactions
The platform allows to accumulate chargers by their location as well as displaying charging sessions and managing the chargers at the same place.
Chargers
A distinctive specialty is applying the smart functions during the charging process, e.g. changing the power or postponing the charging session for a certain period in adjusted intervals. There is also the possibility of configurable notify customers about the issues appearing during the charging session.
Fleet Management
Additionally to managing the chargers, platform tender integration with GEO Tab for tracking and fleet management. The system has export and import of fleet from Excel files functionality to arrange the data easily.
Dashboard
As well to the direct management of the chargers, the system offers a variety of visualization tools of the current chargers' transactions, their states, and location, and everything is keeping updated in real-time.
Key features
OCPP 1.6 and 2.0
Protocol support provides flexible charger management, data collection and analysis, and seamless infrastructure scaling.
Charger Management
An easy-to-use dashboard provides instant access to the required data and facilitates fleet management.
Load Management
Load management is a must-have integration that ensures the balance between the electricity supply and the electrical load.
Fleet and 3P software integrations
Fleet and third-party integrations are necessary to collect and deliver the essential information to the charging management software.
Site-Level Energy Management
The users can control energy consumption and distribution to optimize it when needed. As a result, the energy consumption process has become 30% more efficient.
