Typical Procurement Challenge

✗
3 competing CSMS vendors
Each claims "enterprise-ready" & "99.9% uptime"
✗
$2M+ contract decision
3-year commitment with migration costs
✗
No way to validate claims
Sales demos don't show real-world failures

The Procurement Dilemma

⚠️Traditional Evaluation Process

  • •7-12 weeks: Procure 50 test chargers ($500k)
  • •6 weeks: Vendor provides scripted demo environment
  • •Limited testing: Only happy-path scenarios shown
  • •No stress testing: Can't validate 5,000-charger claims
  • •Risk: Discover issues AFTER contract signed

✓Gridmock Evaluation Process

  • •8 minutes: Spin up 5,000 virtual chargers
  • •Your tests: Run scenarios YOU design, not vendor demos
  • •Stress testing: Test all 3 vendors at claimed scale
  • •Fault injection: See how they handle failures
  • •Decision confidence: Data-driven vendor selection
Save 10+ weeks & $1.6M+ in evaluation costs
Make confident procurement decisions with real performance data

How Enterprise Evaluation Works

1

Get Vendor CSMS Endpoints

Request WebSocket endpoints from each competing vendor. Most provide sandbox/trial environments with their sales process. If not, this is already a red flag.

Vendor A: wss://vendor-a-trial.com/ocpp
Vendor B: wss://vendor-b-demo.io/ocpp
Vendor C: wss://vendor-c-sandbox.net/ocpp

Run Identical Test Scenarios Across All Vendors

Test the scenarios that matter to YOUR deployment: peak hour load, mass reconnections, firmware updates, network failures.

▸ 8 PM peak charging hour (4,000 sessions)
▸ Mass disconnect (2,000 chargers offline)
▸ Rolling firmware update (5,000 chargers)
▸ Reconnection storm (all chargers reconnect)
