JHB Product
EV Charging Management System built to run, monitor and scale EV charging
Our EV Charging Management System is a Charging Station Management System (CSMS) built by JHB Automations to run and monitor EV chargers, manage charging sessions and payments, and connect your network to the wider EV charging ecosystem through OCPP and OCPI.
Overview
What is EV Charging Management System?
A Charging Station Management System (CSMS) is the software behind every EV charging network. It connects to individual chargers over the OCPP protocol, tracks their status in real time, starts and stops charging sessions, authenticates users, and settles payments — while OCPI lets that network interoperate with other charging networks and roaming platforms. Without a CSMS, a charger is just hardware with no way to be monitored, billed or managed remotely. Our EV Charging Management System is JHB Automations' own CSMS, built end-to-end to do exactly this — and the foundation we draw on when building custom EV charging software for other businesses.
Why Businesses Need a CSMS
Charging hardware alone can't run a business — it needs software behind it.
1
Remote Monitoring
Know the status of every charger — online, charging, faulted or offline — without a technician on site.
2
Session & Billing Control
Start, stop and bill charging sessions automatically instead of tracking usage manually.
3
Multi-Charger Support
Manage chargers through a single, standards-based backend rather than a vendor-specific tool.
4
User Authentication
Control who can charge, at which stations, and under what access rules.
5
Network Interoperability
Let your network work with roaming partners and third-party platforms through OCPI.
6
Operational Visibility
See utilisation, faults and session history across every station from one dashboard.

Understanding OCPP and OCPI
The two protocols that make a modern CSMS possible.
1
What is OCPP?
The Open Charge Point Protocol is the standard language chargers use to talk to a backend — reporting status and meter values, and receiving start/stop commands.
2
What is OCPI?
The Open Charge Point Interface lets separate charging networks and platforms exchange data — enabling roaming, so a driver can charge on a network their provider doesn't directly operate.
3
Why They Matter Together
OCPP connects your chargers to your own backend. OCPI connects your backend to everyone else's — together they're what makes a network usable beyond its own hardware.
4
Built With Standards in Mind
This platform's architecture is built around these standard protocols rather than a closed, proprietary connection to chargers.
Custom EV Charging Software Development
For businesses that need a CSMS, integration or platform built around their own hardware and operations.
1
CSMS Backend Development
A backend built around your chargers, operating regions and business rules.
2
Charger Integration Services
Connecting your chosen charging hardware to a management backend over OCPP.
3
Admin Dashboard Development
A dashboard tailored to how your operations team actually needs to work.
4
API & Third-Party Integration
APIs to connect your CSMS with billing, ERP or other internal systems.
5
OCPI & Roaming Setup
Enabling your network to interoperate with external platforms where needed.
EV Charging Mobile App Development
Driver-facing apps that connect to your CSMS in real time.
1
Charger Discovery & Status
Let drivers find stations and see live availability before they arrive.
2
Session Start/Stop Control
Start and stop a charging session directly from the app.
3
Real-Time Charging Data
Live session progress, so drivers know exactly what's happening at the charger.
4
In-App Payments
Payment handling built into the charging flow, from session start to settlement.
5
Published, Store-Ready Apps
Built and published to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, as delivered for our own EV Charging Management System.

5
Ongoing Support
We build, deploy and continue supporting the platforms we develop.
How It Works — Technical Architecture
A simplified look at how data flows through the CSMS.
1
1. EV Charger
The physical charging station where a driver plugs in and a session begins.
2
2. OCPP
The charger communicates with the backend over OCPP — reporting status and receiving commands.
3
3. CSMS Backend
The backend receives charger data, manages sessions and applies business logic.
4
4. Database & APIs
Session, user and charger data is stored and exposed through backend APIs.
5
5. Mobile App & Admin Dashboard
Drivers and operators interact with the system through the mobile app and admin dashboard, in real time.
6
6. Payment System
Completed sessions are settled through the platform's payment and transaction handling.
7
7. OCPI & External Platforms
OCPI allows the network to exchange data with external platforms and roaming partners where needed.
