One platform. Three plans. Three deployment modes.
Starter, Professional and Enterprise are commercial plans of the same Charging Platform. Depending on the project, the application runs as SaaS, on-premises or an appliance; capabilities, limits, support and price are committed for the offered release.
One product – the binding scope belongs in the quotation.
The plans are not separate source forks. NeLeSo positions the right plan based on operations, integrations, organisation and support needs. Specific capabilities, quantities and prices are not inferred from a plan name.
Starter
Enter production with a controlled scope.
Commercial plan · individual quotation
For a clearly bounded production start with an agreed operating, integration and support scope.
One shared, supported Platform release
SaaS, on-premises or appliance subject to project approval
For tenant-aware and integration-intensive operating models. Approved portals, roles, data spaces and processes are described precisely in the quotation.
Tenant, role and integration scope by agreement
Production launch with a documented operating handover
Two production products. Two clearly separated development paths.
The Charging Platform operates charging infrastructure. The OCPP Gateway observes, routes and migrates an existing backend. Developer Kit and Sandbox are explicitly not production products.
NeLeSo OCPP Gateway
Connect an existing backend under control.
Charge point → Gateway → primary backend + read-only Observer
The commercial product for routing, observation, auditability and controlled cutover. Production operations and real migration pilots are paid.
For development and testing only, not production. Publication and licensing remain pending until rights, dependency, trademark and security reviews are complete.
NeLeSo Sandbox
Evaluate documented workflows with synthetic data.
Synthetic data · resettable · no production credentials
The Sandbox is publicly available and reset regularly. It accepts no customer data, production credentials or external station connections, carries no production SLA and does not enable production station or transaction traffic.
Gateway and Platform use clearly separated product contracts.
OCPP connections, station states, sessions and commands follow versioned contracts. Customer-facing statements always apply to the exact offered release. Security patches and protocol corrections are not plan differentiators.
The production launch creates an accepted, documented operating baseline.
Architecture, installation, device compatibility, migration, operating documentation and go-live are scoped for the project. Scope and price are set in the binding quotation before the project starts.
Architecture, security and operations workshop
Installation, production configuration and monitoring
Charge-point and firmware compatibility matrix
Pilot, migration and fallback plan
Backup, update and incident concept
Training, documentation and go-live acceptance
Operations cockpit
The Platform connects technical visibility with business processes.
The cockpit brings together sites, charge points, sessions, energy, server health and support context. The agreed product scope determines which roles, data spaces, integrations and processes are enabled.
Simulation and testing
Test statements remain release- and scenario-specific.
Simulators and repeatable load, charging and stability tests support release decisions. A concrete capacity or compatibility result applies only to the documented release, tested infrastructure and respective message profile.
FAQ
Common questions about plans and portfolio.
Does production use require a commercial contract?
Yes. Production use is commercial from the first production station or transaction. Developer Kit and Sandbox are separate non-production paths.
How do Starter, Professional and Enterprise differ?
They are plans of the same Charging Platform. The binding quotation assigns capabilities, limits, integrations, support and price; these are not inferred from the plan name alone.
Which deployment modes are available?
Depending on the project, the Charging Platform may be offered as SaaS, on-premises or an appliance. These are deployment modes of the same application, not separate products.
When does the OCPP Gateway fit?
The Gateway is for organisations with an existing charging backend that need to connect a primary backend, observe it independently in read-only mode or perform a controlled migration.
Can the Developer Kit be used now?
Not as a published distribution yet. It remains non-production, and publication and licensing require completed rights, dependency, trademark and security reviews.
Is the Sandbox available now?
Yes. The public Sandbox supports synthetic, resettable evaluation and is reset regularly. Customer data, production credentials, external station connections, and production station or transaction traffic are not enabled; there is no production SLA.
