A company represents a legal or operational entity and serves as an anchor point for:

• site areas and charging stations,
• users and groups,
• pricing and billing.

 

The different types of company

When creating a company, each one must be assigned a type:

• Charge Point Operator (CPO)
  A company operating charging infrastructure.
  It owns or manages the charging stations and site areas, and defines the access and pricing rules.
• E-Mobility Service Provider (EMSP)
  A company providing a charging service to end users (badges, app). It is involved in roaming scenarios.
• Developer
  A company that owns the charging stations or the land. A developer must always be attached to an operator (= CPO).
• Client account (B2B)
  A client company that uses another company's services but owns no charging stations/land.

Automation 

The affiliation mechanism concerns attaching users to a company.

 

What is affiliation used for?

Affiliation automatically associates users with a company in order to simplify configuration & access: 

• give them access to the company's site areas and charging stations,
• apply the right groups, roles and pricing.

 

How does affiliation work?

When creating or configuring a company, you can enable an automation rule:

1. A user who signs up with a specific email domain (e.g. @entreprise.com) is automatically attached to the corresponding company, without manual intervention from an administrator.
2. A user who signs up via the app can then affiliate themselves using different methods:
   • Affiliation code
   • Vehicle registration number
   • Badge number
