The Client wanted to merge the ongoing application of home charging with public charging. Which rise the need for a new CMS (Charger management system). This project needs a lot of research work as this is very new to the Indian market. Creating a new functional flow that acts as a foundation of the CMS and helps in reducing personal visits to reduce efforts and cost. Integration between the CMS and the CPO via OCPI1.1.2 is crucial and plays a pivotal role in running seamless operations.
Innovation at Bellurbis:
Bellurbis proposed a system solution that would help clients in handling charging stations at various geographic locations in a much easy way and reduce their effort in coordinating between the various teams. We ensure that the new version of the application which also features public charging add value to the existing end user and enhances their experience of EV charging. Although this required the revamp of their existing application and web platform as well for seamless functioning.
The Bellurbis team used an eMSP protocol called OCPI 2.1.1 (Open Charge Point Interface 2.1.1) to integrate the client’s charge management system with the charging stations with the help of which the end user can use the eMSP services for public charging where he can pre-schedule the charging booking, navigate to the charging station, Make payment for charging and get the real-time unit consumption on the application apart from that there are various other VAS features and the support which always help the end user where ever they stuck.
