Go-Live and Post-Onboarding Checklist

Once everything is in place, your stations go live on the DCS platform and become accessible to EV drivers through the frontends managed by DCS. Stations are visible, charging is possible and data is properly exchanged. There are just few more steps which will follow in parallel:

• Post-onboarding quality check – your location data quality, CDR delivery and authentication success rate will be monitored as part of the post-onboarding hyper-care phase and if there are points for improvement detected, your support teams will be informed; we rely on your timely mitigation, so that to avoid disconnection.
• Vendor account creation – your account will be created in our ERP system, so that your monthly invoices can be timely booked, validated and paid; ensure that you provide your master data form (see Your Master Data Matters); your timely, accurate and complete information on your company details, CPO IDs, contact persons, bank details is essential. 
• First invoice – now that we are connected, charging sessions happen and your vendor account is created in our ERP system, you are welcome to invoice DCS for the charging services used; we will share with you our invoicing guidelines, which are also available here under Invoicing Guidelines; please follow them for seamless payment. In case of collaboration via an aggregator who does the invoicing for you, those guidelines are important for them as the billing party.
