Customer Reviews

Charging Site Operator

“We previously purchased charging piles from several brands for our site, and each brand had its own backend. Switching systems for management was especially troublesome, and reconciling statistical data was even more of a headache. After connecting to this platform, piles of different brands are all controlled in one backend. Equipment status, orders, and revenue are all viewed in a centralized way. We no longer need to log in to multiple systems. The workload of O&M and finance has been directly reduced by more than half, and existing equipment does not need to be replaced, saving a lot of renovation investment.”

Industrial Park O&M Manager

“In the early stage, the park built charging piles in batches, with equipment from two or three different manufacturers, each managed separately, and permissions and billing could not be unified. This platform is compatible with existing old piles without hardware modification, achieving unified monitoring and permission control. Internal employees and external visitors can be billed differently, and fault alarms are also very timely. Park charging management is much more worry-free.”

Commercial Complex Property Management

“The brands of charging piles in commercial sites are miscellaneous, and the biggest fear is that equipment problems cannot be found in time. The platform integrates and manages all charging piles, views the operating status of every connector in real time, and directly pushes alarms for abnormalities. At the same time, financial reports are automatically summarized, eliminating manual verification of bills from multiple equipment vendors. O&M efficiency has improved significantly.”
