Map operations
Capture depots, chargers, vehicles, shifts, access groups, reporting boundaries, and energy constraints.
Vehicle readiness and depot energy control
Fleet charging software for commercial depots
Sock8 helps commercial fleets operate depot chargers, control driver and vehicle access, monitor live sessions, and report energy use across locations.
Fleet teams can connect mixed OCPP hardware and shape charging access around shifts, depots, vehicles, and internal reporting without exposing private chargers to the public journey.
What this buyer needs
Outcomes the solution is designed around.
- Have vehicles ready for the next shift
- Control access across drivers, vehicles, and depots
- Track energy by charger, site, or operating group
- Diagnose charger faults before they affect dispatch
What gets in the way
Operational and commercial friction to remove.
- Charging sessions competing with operational schedules
- Little visibility across multiple depots
- Shared RFID credentials and unclear attribution
- Hardware faults discovered at vehicle departure
How it works
A buyer-specific path from scope to live operation.
02
Connect chargers
Validate representative models and bring each connector into the central fleet view.
03
Configure access
Assign RFID, driver, vehicle, site, and role rules for the approved charging population.
04
Monitor readiness
Track live status and sessions, investigate exceptions, and export energy and utilisation records.
Inside the platform
The operating detail behind the solution.
A central operations view lets fleet teams follow charger availability, active sessions, exceptions, and energy delivery across depots.

Implementation
Make ownership and acceptance clear before rollout.
- 1
Depot discovery
Confirm operational schedules, charger estate, electrical constraints, access groups, and reporting needs.
- 2
Pilot depot
Validate representative hardware, users, vehicles, sessions, remote support, and reports.
- 3
Operational integration
Connect required systems and establish alert, support, escalation, and data-reconciliation procedures.
- 4
Multi-site rollout
Onboard additional depots in controlled batches and compare readiness and utilisation outcomes.
Relevant evidence

Platform operating scale
Sock8's existing network-management foundation supports multi-site charger monitoring, sessions, access, reporting, and protocol-level diagnostics.
Deployment
Choose the right operating boundary.
Use managed cloud for central fleet operations or customer-hosted infrastructure when private networking and data control are required.
Pricing
Match cost to the buyer model.
Pricing depends on active connector count, deployment model, integrations, reporting scope, availability requirements, and support coverage.

Questions commercial fleets ask.
Can access be limited to fleet drivers and vehicles?+
Yes. Approved RFID, user, vehicle, site, and role rules can be configured for private charging operations.
Can multiple depots use one platform?+
Yes. Sites can be operated centrally while reports and permissions remain scoped to the appropriate teams.
Does Sock8 optimise charging against vehicle schedules?+
The platform provides the operational and integration layer. Schedule- or energy-specific optimisation is confirmed against the required vehicle, telematics, and energy data during discovery.
Can existing depot chargers be connected?+
They can be evaluated by exact model, firmware, OCPP version, configuration, and required operating flow.
Can fleet data be exported?+
Approved session, energy, charger, and reporting data can be exported or integrated through the agreed API and reporting scope.
