Asset Management meets CPMS – without manual handoffs.

How Stackbox automatically transfers new and updated charge points from your Asset Management System to the CPMS – including full mapping to the OCPI data structure. Set it up once. Let it run.

Product Asset Connector

Asset data sits in the system. It never reaches the CPMS.

CPOs managing their charging infrastructure via a dedicated Asset Management System know the fundamental integration problem: the operational basis – which charge point is where, what hardware is installed, what configuration applies – is maintained in the asset system but never automatically available in the CPMS. This isn't a niche problem. It's day-to-day reality.

Manual Double Entry

New charge points or changes to existing assets have to be manually transferred to the CPMS. This is time-consuming, error-prone, and does not scale with growing charging networks.

Inconsistent Data States

Changes in the Asset Management – new locations, hardware replacements, configuration adjustments – are mirrored asynchronously or not at all into the CPMS. The systems drift apart.

Missing OCPI Mapping

Asset data does not follow a standardised structure. The transfer into the OCPI data model (Location, EVSE, Connector) must be solved anew for each integration – cumbersome and inconsistent.

Blocked Downstream Processing

Roaming, clearing, and external integrations require OCPI-compliant data. Until this is cleanly in place, every downstream use is blocked or requires repeated additional effort.

The core problem

Asset Management and CPMS speak different languages. Without a dedicated integration layer that automatically synchronises, validates, and maps data to OCPI, every integration remains a manual, error-prone one-off process. We know how to fix this – and we do it right.

One connector that keeps both systems permanently in sync.

Stackbox built an Asset Connector that automatically connects your Asset Management System and CPMS, maps all data to the OCPI structure, and makes it available for downstream processing. You configure it once – then it just runs.

1

Connecting your Asset Management System

The connector integrates with your existing Asset Management System via API, webhook, or scheduled data pull. New assets and changes to existing entries are automatically detected – without manual trigger.

2

Validation and Data Enrichment

Incoming asset data is checked, validated for completeness, and enriched with default values or reference data where needed. Inconsistencies are logged before they reach the CPMS.

3

Automatic OCPI Mapping

Each asset record is mapped to the OCPI hierarchy: Location → EVSE → Connector. The mapping is configurable, versioned, and accounts for your specific field names and data types.

4

Automatic Transfer to CPMS

New and updated assets are fully and structurally pushed into the CPMS – as new Locations, EVSEs, or Connectors, or as updates to existing records. Delta-sync prevents unnecessary overwrites.

5

OCPI-ready for downstream use

Since all data is available in OCPI format, it is immediately usable for roaming, clearing via eMSPs, direct payments, and external platform connections – without further mapping.

What changes for you.

From manual double entry to fully automated synchronisation – with measurable results from day one. That's not a promise. That's what we deliver.

Before
New charge points entered manually into the CPMS
Asset changes arrive late or not at all
OCPI mapping done by hand for each integration
Roaming and clearing blocked by missing data structure
Missing data causes operational interruptions
After
New assets automatically detected and transferred
Changes available in real time in the CPMS
OCPI mapping configured once, running permanently
Roaming and clearing available immediately
Consistent data across all systems

manual steps when transferring new or changed assets

100%

OCPI-compliant data structure for all charge points – out of the box

scalable – even with large charging infrastructure networks without growing maintenance effort

real-time sync – changes in the asset system are instantly active in the CPMS

API

integrable into existing system landscapes without rebuilding

foundation for roaming, MSP connection, and external platforms without rework

Every time a new charge point went live, it was a manual process – create the asset, update the CPMS, fill in the OCPI fields. With the Stackbox integration it runs completely automatically. The charge point is created in the asset system and is in the CPMS shortly after – OCPI-compliant and ready for operation.
