Tomorrow’s EV charging and payment solutions today
Putting user experience at the centre of a smarter mobility future
It takes EV specialists to transform the EV charging experience for drivers. Our range of user-centric, tailored payment solutions cater specifically to resolving the pain-points that all too frequently undermine the charging experience for EV drivers…
Getting an expense receipt.
Reaching human support in the event of a payment problem.
We provide operators, site owners and Local Authorities with the ability to optimise their assets by putting their users right at the centre of the experience…
Eliminate complexity.
Maximise ease-of-use.
By providing a single platform built around parking and EV charging, car park owners and operators – public, private, or fleet – can reduce complexity and add new revenue streams from their EV chargers. Our solutions handle the complexity of multiple charge point operators, service providers and back-office EV charging platform integrations. Our aggregated finance and mobility management solutions make this process simple for both operators and users.
Your journey starts here…
Payment Services
A PCI compliant, customisable, interoperable, multi-vendor payment gateway built around the complex needs of parking & charging that can integrate into any payment system.
Mobility Services
Bespoke apps build on our payment gateway. Adaptable white-label mobility solutions that can be deployed directly or with your own branding.
Paythru at work: use cases
Our platform is highly customisable to different use cases. Here are just some of the ways it can solve charging experience problems.
A car park operates parking and charging via separate entities. Our platform can set the terms, present the user with a single payment, and split the payment between the car park operator and EV charging company.
Two EV charging networks want to allow users to access each other’s charge points via their app and pay each other commission. Our independent payment layer can manage this.
A train station ticket machine wants to sell bundles of parking, charging, and train tickets at its payment kiosk, with each provider paid directly. This can be easily managed once the charger is setup on our platform.
Charger pre-booking
Loyalty schemes, offers, and rewards
Email receipts for business expenses
Route planning services for drivers and fleet managers to take advantage of lower cost chargepoints and reduce long-term charging costs.
Vehicle-2-grid integrations to deliver dynamic tariff setting, payments orchestration between multiple parties, and driver nudges to support load balancing.
