Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) is designed to support custom authentication methods beyond RFID and QR codes, making it suitable for fleet charging applications that require tailored access controls. The platform’s flexible architecture allows integration with proprietary systems, third-party identity providers, and custom-built authentication workflows.
How custom authentication integrates with Tecell CMS
Within Tecell’s CMS, custom authentication methods are implemented through API-based integrations that align with standard authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0 or SAML. Fleet operators can connect their existing identity management systems, such as enterprise directories or mobile apps, directly to the CMS. This ensures that charging access is granted based on the organization’s internal user verification processes rather than relying solely on physical cards or scan-based methods.
The system supports role-based access control, allowing fleet managers to define permissions for different user groups. For example, a company might grant full access to mechanics while restricting certain charging stations to executives only. These granular controls are managed through the CMS dashboard, which provides visibility into who accessed which station and when.
Practical use cases for fleet operators
Fleet charging applications benefit significantly from custom authentication because they often involve large numbers of users with varying access levels. For instance, a logistics company might use employee smartphones as authentication tokens, eliminating the need for physical cards or key fobs. This approach reduces administrative overhead and enhances security by tying access to verified corporate identities.
Another common scenario involves integrating with existing fleet management software. By syncing authentication data from these platforms, Tecell’s CMS ensures that only authorized drivers can charge company vehicles. This seamless integration helps maintain compliance with corporate policies and simplifies billing for fleet usage.
