What’s behind the name?
The Smart Management Platform for Electric Vehicles Charging Stations is a cloud-hosted software platform for the management of EV charging stations on top of the latest OCPP version. Smart EVC aims to strengthen charging station networks and increase sustainability by supporting and encouraging private station owners to allow reservations and recharging.
The project also hopes to increase the competitiveness of the economic environment by assimilating RDI results in conceiving, designing, implementing and testing an intelligent charging station management platform based on Blockchain and artificial intelligence. Smart EVC also needed a seamless transfer of its software to the market to encourage organic trend adoption.
What’s the best feature we custom developed?
In a effort to familiarize users with what defines cleantech and simplify use, the online management platform for EV charging unifies the various connection methods of electric vehicles to charging stations, offering a consolidated approach.
What were other things we worked on?
Smart mobile alerts
The mobile app facilitates interaction with charging stations, generating smart alerts for future charges based on established parameters, technical specs and driving styles.
Blockchain based payments
Merging payment methods for charging electric vehicles by using Blockchain. The technology guarantees that all charging transactions are traceable, tamper-proof, and instantly verifiable.
Automated reservations
AI-based module, using machine learning algorithms to establish patterns and suggestions. The solution is fully cloud-based and also offers an offline mode.
The cutting-edge technologies we employed for e-mobility
Our custom e-mobility software harnesses the latest innovations in technology to deliver high-performance mobile and web applications that are not only robust and reliable but also fully optimized.
The most relevant technical details
The backend of the SmartEVC Platform was developed with .NET Core technology, using microservices while the front-end used React. The microservices are are relevant to the two front-end apps – EVC Mobile App and EVC Web App through APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?
ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.
3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?
We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.
- A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)
- Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.
- Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).
- Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).
4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?
We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions.
Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.
SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services.
5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?
We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.
- Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.
- Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.
- Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.
Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
