Electric Vehicle charging platform for Energy Utilities

An EV charging management platform is a cloud-based software that allows for the management, monetization, and maintenance of a charging station network across a wide range of use cases and business models. It is made up of a back-end, web portal, and mobile apps that are meant to enhance corporate operations, reduce maintenance costs and provide EV drivers with a seamless charging experience.

The energy sector will be disrupted in the coming years, mainly due to the EV revolution. Energy Utility companies will be forced to take an active role in the process. In this regard, they have a significant opportunity to enter the EV charging market in order to better manage business risk through energy supply and distribution.

If you consider managing hundreds or thousands of charging stations, an EV charging management software will be critical to your business success. This platform should be easy to integrate into your operations as well as your existing ERP, CRM, and other management systems, allowing you to support all of your business activities while reducing charge point maintenance time and costs. An EV charging software suite reduces charge point downtime, increases visibility, expands payment options, and automates billing and invoicing. To enable a future-proof charging infrastructure, the platform must also be hardware-agnostic and capable of connecting with any OCPP-compliant charge point model. Finally, an EV charging management platform should support a wide range of business models and use cases, including private and home charging, as well as public and en-route charging scenarios.

Before considering more sophisticated solutions, choose a provider that will thoroughly cover the essentials, such as ensuring optimal compatibility between the chargers and the system to enable cost-effective future operations, maintenance, and servicing. Basic service issues account for the majority of poor end-user experiences and are the most prevalent reason customers leave a network. This is why, at AMPECO, we provide our clients with extensive integration testing with their preferred manufacturers, evaluating the chargers in 80+ scenarios to ensure optimal performance.
Furthermore, the AMPECO open API allows for seamless integration with other systems and gives you complete control over the customer experience by allowing you to develop your own tailored solutions.

Once you’ve narrowed down your selection of EV charging management software providers based on the feature set and response time, we recommend taking a look at their experience, client portfolio, and case studies. Working with a software provider who is backed by your direct or indirect competitors is a risk you want to avoid. Examine the company’s investors to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest that might place you at a competitive disadvantage when competing for the same customers.
After all, choose the applicant who best meets your needs.
