SMART/LAB and Vector: Charging Software for Businesses and Fleets

SMART/LAB’s backend handles user group management, charging session tracking, tariff management, and ensures billing compliance for electric vehicle charging. Meanwhile, Vector’s load management system, vCharM, optimizes energy distribution by controlling charging in a grid-friendly manner. It dynamically allocates available power to avoid peak loads and make the most of existing grid connections. Thanks to close technical alignment between the two systems, no additional integration work is required. The fully integrated solution is built for scalability, supporting both small-scale installations and large charging hubs with several hundred charging points—giving operators a dependable and expandable infrastructure.

“With Vector, we have a partner whose solution integrates seamlessly into our system landscape,” says Jasper Ewers, Head of Product Management at SMART/LAB. “This allows our customers to use smart charging and load management with confidence and without additional integration hurdles. It makes infrastructure operation more cost-effective and convenient.

” The solution is especially suited for semi-public environments such as corporate parking lots, fleet depots, or charging hubs with restricted user access. In such contexts, intelligent charging coordination ensures reliable operation even when multiple vehicles charge simultaneously. At the same time, it helps avoid additional operating costs by eliminating the need for new grid connections.

“Our partnership with SMART/LAB enables a fully integrated solution for semi-public charging scenarios,” explains Christian Witt, Product Manager for vCharM at Vector. “This reduces technical complexity across planning, implementation, and ongoing operation.” 

Operators benefit from clearly defined interfaces, predictable implementation efforts, and a solution that is compatible with existing infrastructure. This partnership offers a practical option for companies, municipalities, and other stakeholders looking to provide charging infrastructure in closed or semi-public settings.
