Vattenfall and chargecloud launch strategic B2B sales cooperation
New offer covers the entire value chain in the field of e-mobility
Vattenfall Smarter Living GmbH and Cologne-based chargecloud GmbH have agreed on a sales cooperation: B2B customers will thus receive a digital white-label solution for the entire e-mobility value chain, from procurement and installation through to roaming agreements and customer billing. The e-mobility module EnergieTanken from Vattenfall Smarter Living GmbH and the charge.partner module from chargecloud GmbH are integrated.
"Our VLINK platform is already the key element for the distribution and installation of energy solutions for more than 60 white label partners in Germany," explains Markus Reinhardt, Managing Director of Vattenfall Smarter Living GmbH.
Solar systems, energy storage units, wallboxes and heat pumps can be installed for private and commercial customers via a nationwide installation network.
"As part of our sales cooperation, together with chargecloud GmbH we can provide the necessary components and processes for a successful e-mobility product - from the installation of a wallbox to the billing of a charging card," says Markus Reinhardt.
The charge.partner module also allows customers to become providers of e-mobility solutions themselves. For example, the module enables them to provide their commercial customers such as hotels, restaurants or shopping centers with all services for the operation and monetization of a (semi-)public charging station.
As part of the cooperation, both partners offer interested customers attractive bundled conditions for getting started.
