About us
We started our adventure more than 6 years ago by building an efficient and scalable platform for commercial electric vehicles. By now we have grown from a start-up into an ambitious scale-up with more than 50 employees. With our scalable platform, our customers can manage their fleet of electric and non- electric vehicles from the cloud. In doing this, we apply the newest web technologies such as Node.js, and React.js and as a result, we have landed large national and international projects all around the world. In this rapidly growing market, the challenge lies in maintaining a robust platfrom, while we are continuously developing new features for our customers.
