Kazam EV Charging Management Software (CMS)

Kazam is an EV charging technology company based in Bengaluru, India, founded by Akshay Shekhar, Vaibhav Tyagi and Paras Shah. It builds OCPP-compliant chargers and the software that runs them, aiming to make charging networks easier to launch and operate for charge point operators (CPOs), fleets, OEMs, utilities and building owners. Its site reports more than 261,000 chargers onboarded and 13.6 million charging sessions.

The Kazam CMS is a cloud charge point management system supporting OCPP 1.6 and 2.0 plus OCPI, and it connects to more than 100 charger brands and models. It covers live charger and session monitoring with OTA updates and diagnostics, revenue management with dynamic tariffs, wallets and invoicing, load balancing across chargers, and operations and maintenance with automated ticketing. Related modules include roaming, a driver app, energy management, depot management, EV leasing and battery swapping management.

• Charger and session management: live usage, uptime, power and voltage per device with OTA updates and alerts.
• Revenue management: multi-tier and dynamic tariffs, wallets, payment gateways, receipts and tax settings.
• Load balancing: dynamic power distribution across chargers with configurable limits per hub.
• Operations and maintenance: real-time fault detection, automated ticketing and predictive maintenance.
• Interoperability: OCPP 1.6 and 2.0, OCPI roaming and support for more than 100 charger models.
• Extended modules: driver app, depot management, EV leasing and battery swapping management.

A Vietnamese fuel retailer can add charging at its stations and manage chargers from different brands, tariffs and payments on one system. Apartment developers can offer residents app-based charging with load limits per building. Electric motorbike fleets and battery swap operators can track depots and swap cabinets from the same platform.

Operators can manage mixed charger fleets from more than 100 brands on one OCPP and OCPI platform instead of separate vendor portals. Dynamic tariffs, wallets and automatic invoicing help monetise charging sites. Load balancing keeps hubs within sanctioned power limits, and predictive maintenance with automated ticketing is cited by the company as cutting resolution time by 28%.

Charging networks in South and Southeast Asia are growing quickly, with many new operators such as real estate developers, fuel retailers and fleets that run chargers from several manufacturers. Two- and three-wheeler electrification and battery swapping add further operational complexity, increasing demand for hardware-agnostic management software with local payment support.
