What affects our rapid growth?
Success has many fathers, but according to the Pareto Principle, 20% of actions are responsible for 80% of success. According to this, we have selected five key factors that we believe have contributed to our growth:
- 5 refined digital products for emobility ecosystem: Solidstudio’s CPO platform, Whitelabel EMP app, API-first EMP, OCPP Gateway, OCPI Gateway and Virtual Charge Point
- Numerous charging stations under our software’s management across multiple countries.
- An online tool (open access) to compare the business models SaaS and licence.
- Taking part in conferences around the world (Berlin, Amsterdam, Łódź, Oslo, Stockholm and others).
- Work ethic and a strong team.
What are the lessons learned from our growth?
With so much potential for missteps along the way, what lessons should be learned after experiencing substantial growth?
Solid team.
A culture-based organization is not a myth but a necessity, mainly in remote work, where employees know their rights and obligations. In 2022, It hired 18 new people, including software developers, graphic and UX designers, recruiters, and account managers.
Client-dialogue strategy. Based on the dialogue and on the real needs of our customers, we can tailor solutions. We do not keep this knowledge to ourselves, so we presented case studies of some of the 2022 cooperation and their effects.
Our goals include providing support to companies: both small and large. From European industry-strongest firms to small startups from South Africa, we were equally happy to join all the ventures and learn about all the different needs and requirements. Such as the one for Zeemcoin, a Spanish company that combines blockchain technology with the eMobility ecosystem, and the one for Zimi, a South African venture. This approach allows us to get to know the market in depth at various stages of the company’s development.
Initiatives. In the growing industry you have to be initiative, because there is no other way to base your strategy on historical cases. As a business, it’s important to be at the forefront of this wave, as those that can adapt quickly will be the creators and leaders in this space. We were the first to launch an online tool allowing Charge Point Operators to calculate and compare the costs of EV charging platforms, whether it’s SaaS or License.
