We have a long and successful history of working with adesso, and this project once again showed us that adesso is more than just a service provider. During our joint workshops – whether with the teams in Germany or Turkey – we always feel like we're among colleagues united by a common mission: to make paying at charging stations as easy as paying at the petrol station – across Europe.
Intelligent backend for charging station-independent e-mobility solutions
ev-pay
Development of the ev-pay Hub
Felix Blum | CTO ev-pay
Challenge
As a newly established start-up, ev-pay faced a real challenge: the plan was to go from searching for investors to building the company, in which the company structure is based on the systems and tools used and not the other way around, to the ev-pay hub going live in just one year.
The team knew that to tackle this mammoth project, ev-pay needed to rely on a partner that the managers knew and trusted to not only put the start-up on a sustainable footing, but also to implement the software solution and to get an international, interdisciplinary team up and running in the shortest possible time.
