Employee, tenant, and visitor charging
Workplace EV charging software for offices and private networks
Sock8 gives workplace operators a central system for controlling charger access, applying group-specific tariffs, following sessions, and reporting energy use across private sites.
Employees can use approved RFID or a branded web journey while guests follow a separate access or payment path. Site operators keep charger health, utilisation, and commercial records in one place.
What this buyer needs
Outcomes the solution is designed around.
- Separate employee, tenant, visitor, and administrator access
- Apply the right tariff or internal policy to each group
- Understand site and connector utilisation
- Give facilities teams remote diagnostic visibility
What gets in the way
Operational and commercial friction to remove.
- Shared chargers with different user entitlements
- Unclear reimbursement and cost allocation
- Guest charging creating support friction
- Facilities teams relying on separate vendor portals

Relevant evidence
Role-based charging control
Operational foundation
The same Sock8 platform used for public networks can be configured around private sites, approved users, group tariffs, RFID, and workplace reporting.
Deployment
Choose the right operating boundary.
Managed cloud fits most workplace portfolios; customer-hosted deployment is available for organisations with stricter infrastructure requirements.
Pricing
Match cost to the buyer model.
Pricing is based on active connectors and the selected deployment, branding, payment, integration, reporting, and support scope.

Questions offices and private networks ask.
Can employees and visitors have different tariffs?+
Yes. User and access groups can be associated with the approved tariff and charging policy for the site.
Can chargers remain private?+
Yes. Workplace networks can restrict access to approved users and roles rather than publishing a public charging journey.
Can guests pay without installing an app?+
A browser-based charging path can be configured with an approved payment gateway when paid guest charging is required.
Can facilities teams see charger faults remotely?+
Yes. The CSMS provides live status, supported remote commands, sessions, and OCPP diagnostics for connected chargers.
Can reports be separated by site or company?+
Reporting and permissions can be scoped around the agreed site, company, tenant, or operating-group structure.
