Challenges

EVs are parked for a longer duration at home or workplace resulting in faster discharge yet drivers, and partners receive no automated notification other than the vehicle indicators.
No charge station information/notification is received at Malls, grocery shops, parks, and restaurants
Cyber Security incident reporting emails are manual and take a lot of time
No automated communication for drivers, station owners, partners (installers, automakers, auto dealers, resellers and distributors)
Sudden/ Planned power outage notifications not available for users
Product safety issues or notifications not enabled
Chargepoint compatibility with Android auto & innovative EV

Client Goals

Client find it challenging to collate data from multiple sources/ platforms like Salesforce, NOS, NetSuite. This made it difficult for the client to manage the data, schedule messages, distributing custom reports and activating email/SMS/ any other notification across multiple channels.
Another important feature required was customized templates for the email & messages and optimised emails for mobile and other devices. Automating the messaging journey in order to send it to larger audience was an essential requirement.
So as a solution, Oak Tree Software suggested implementing Salesforce Marketing Cloud to manage the data that further assist in automating customized emails, planning, personalising, segmentation and optimizing the consumer journey by tracking emails and monitor effectiveness.
