Speed up charger installations and reduce field errors
What You Get
After this 2-week engagement, you will have a complete plan for streamlining charger commissioning:
✓ Document Your Process – Current commissioning workflow mapped step-by-step with time per step
✓ Identify Bottlenecks – Error-prone manual steps and delays clearly documented
✓ Design the Solution – Mobile app specification that automates testing and reduces technician errors
✓ Know the Investment – Fixed quote for building your commissioning tool
✓ Calculate the ROI – Time savings per install multiplied across your rollout plan
The Problem We’re Solving
Installing and commissioning new chargers takes longer than it should:
- Technicians use paper checklists or generic note apps
- OCPP connectivity testing is manual and error-prone
- Configuration mistakes require return visits
- No visibility into which sites are ready to go live
- Training new technicians takes weeks
When you are installing 50+ chargers, these inefficiencies add up to delayed revenue and frustrated field teams.
The Process – 2-4 Weeks
Week 1-2: Process Documentation
- Interview with field operations lead
- We debrief a typical commissioning
- Document current workflow, tools, and pain points
Week 3-4: Tool Design & Planning
- Present commissioning app workflow design
- Requirements workshop to finalize features
Timeline depends on your team’s availability and access to field technicians. Typically completed within 2-3 weeks from kick-off.
Your Deliverables – What You Own
Four comprehensive documents in editable format:
1. Current State Assessment
- Step-by-step commissioning process documented
- Time per step and total install time
- Tools currently used (paper, spreadsheets, apps)
- Error rates and common mistakes
- Pain points from field technician perspective
2. Commissioning App Specification
- Screen-by-screen workflow design
- Automated OCPP testing features
- Configuration validation checks
- Photo documentation and sign-off
- Backend dashboard for operations visibility
- Technical requirements
- Wireframes (visual mockups)
3. Implementation Roadmap
- Development phases and timeline
- Field testing and rollout plan
- Technician training approach
- Integration requirements with CSMS
4. Cost & ROI Analysis
- Fixed price quote for app development
- Time savings per install (estimated)
- ROI calculation based on your rollout plan
- Comparison: custom app vs generic tools
How You Use These Documents
Get a Fixed-Price Quote You receive an accurate quote for building your commissioning app. Know exactly what the investment will be.
See Before You Build Wireframes show exactly what the app will look like and how technicians will use it in the field.
Compare Alternatives Evaluate custom commissioning app vs continuing with current tools. ROI shows break-even based on your install volume.
Build Internally or Outsource If you have mobile development resources, use the specification to build it yourself. Or get competitive quotes from other developers.
Make an Informed Decision Sometimes the analysis reveals current process is adequate for your scale. Better to learn this for €5,000 than halfway through app development.
Phase the Investment Start with basic checklist app, add advanced OCPP automation later. Not committed to full feature set upfront.
All documents are fully editable and yours with no strings attached.
Your Commitment
- Field Operations lead: 5-10 hours
- Field Technician (for process review): 3-5 hours
- IT/Technical lead: 5-10 hours
Spread across 2-4 weeks in scheduled calls and one field observation (we work around your availability).
