FieldCamp models the way EV install shops actually work — not a CMS, not generic FSM with a label change. [Book a 15-minute call](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)We'll spin up your data model on the call. 4.8Capterra Trusted by EV install & service contractors from a two-truck shop to a multi-state infrastructure builder. EV installElectricalSolarFleet electrificationUtilityGovernment 01 The EV data model ## Site → Station → Port — _plus the OCPP version, plus the NEVI uptime gauge._ FieldCamp ships an EV layout with [typed fields](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/custom-objects-and-fields) the CMS platforms keep for their operator backend: hardware brand, port type, OCPP version, NEVI uptime, OEM warranty channel — live the moment a tech opens the record. It doubles as your [EV CRM](https://fieldcamp.ai/crm/) — every site, fleet owner, and AHJ contact on [one record](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/record-layouts). Linked records Ports link to their station, stations to the site. Open one site and see every port, project phase, PMI plan, and visit in place. Typed fields Port type, hardware brand, OCPP version, install date, OEM warranty channel — structured fields with real types, never a notes-field dump. Uptime is a field Per-port uptime tracked against NEVI's 97% threshold. Drift below and the dispatch board flags it before the customer calls. Shared record views One record per site and port — specs, project, service log, OEM warranty channel, AHJ packet, files. The same view your CSRs, dispatchers, and techs work from. 02 Customer intake ## A photo of the panel tells you _what the project actually is._ Your customer uploads panel photos through a [branded intake form](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/online-booking/setting-up-online-booking-in-fieldcamp), and FieldCamp [pins them to the site record](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/clients/client-files-documents-and-drive-fieldcamp). No truck roll for the assessment. Your estimator — or the [vision workflow you wire up](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/workflow-automation/workflows-overview) — reads off the breaker amperage, panel make, spaces, and run distance, then [drafts the make-ready scope](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/estimates-invoices/creating-estimates). 03 The install project ## Kickoff to energization _in one record._ EV installs are projects, not 2-hour visits. FieldCamp tracks [every phase](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/stages-and-workflows) — survey, [AHJ permit](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/permits), make-ready, mount, commissioning, energization — with photos and [signed milestones](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/estimates-invoices/signatures-on-estimates-and-invoices) on one record. Site host, fleet owner, utility coordinator, AHJ inspector — everyone [sees the same view](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/getting-started/roles-and-permissions-who-can-see-what-fieldcamp). 04 Commissioning ## Every check, every photo — _into one signed AHJ packet._ FieldCamp ships a 38-step EVSE commissioning template as a [custom checklist](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/job-forms-complete-digital-checklist-system) the tech runs from the [mobile app](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/using-forms-in-the-field-mobile-guide) — electrical, grounding, GFCI/CCID, Control Pilot, OCPP handshake, AHJ sign-off. Each step [logs a timestamp, photo, and note](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/tracking-job-logs). The handshake itself runs in the OEM installer app — the tech attaches the screenshot of the charger going Online, and the checklist compiles into the AHJ packet automatically. 05 Service & NEVI uptime ## Uptime is the contract. _FieldCamp watches it._ NEVI-funded sites must hold 97% uptime. FieldCamp tracks it per port — when one drifts below threshold, it drafts the [PMI visit](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/recurring-jobs) and dispatches the right tech by [skill](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/features/skill-based-dispatching/) and zone. Each OEM [warranty channel lives on the port record](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/warranties) — ChargePoint Assure to Tesla service portal — so a claim is one tap, not one hour. 06 Estimates & invoicing ## Estimates that include the make-ready. _Invoices that attach the NEVI report._ [Good-better-best estimates](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/estimates-invoices/estimate-options-and-templates) from the [flat-rate pricebook](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/products-services/price-book-and-bundles) — make-ready labor, panel upgrade, OEM hardware, OCPP commissioning, one approval. [Invoices auto-attach](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/estimates-invoices/creating-invoices) the NEVI compliance PDF, collect via [Tap-to-Pay, ACH, card, or Apple Pay](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/payments/payments-overview), and stay [QuickBooks-synced](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/integrations/connect-quickbooks-xero-and-wave-to-fieldcamp) — no double entry. 07 Capabilities ## What an EV install shop actually runs on, _on one platform._ Built around the install lifecycle, not bolted on. No swivel-chair between five tools, no separate compliance product, no spreadsheet for the OEM warranty channels.

A site survey doesn't become a job — it becomes a six-phase project, plus a PMI plan, plus an OEM warranty channel. FieldCamp threads the whole arc on one record so your good-better-best estimate sells make-ready, hardware, labor, commissioning, AND the maintenance plan in one approval. 02 ### Uptime is the contract. NEVI sites hold 97%. Lose it and you lose the renewal — and the next award. FieldCamp watches every port, drafts the PMI before the drift becomes a default, and routes the right tech with the right OEM channel ready. 03 ### You're not a CMS. Stop paying like one. ChargePoint, AMPECO, ChargeLab — they run the chargers. You build and service them. FieldCamp is the one platform that ships an install-and-maintain data model instead of a CMS dashboard you don't need. Plays nice with whichever CMS the site already uses. 09 The other trades we run ## Same platform. _Every trade you touch._ [Electrical →Service + projects, panels, EV make-ready.](https://fieldcamp.ai/electrician-software/)[Construction →Phased billing, change orders, NEVI build-outs.](https://fieldcamp.ai/construction-software/)[HVAC →Equipment lifecycle, service plans, refrigerant.](https://fieldcamp.ai/hvac-software/)[Property maintenance →Multi-property, multi-trade, recurring.](https://fieldcamp.ai/property-maintenance-software/)[Generator →Service contracts, OEM warranty, transfer-switch.](https://fieldcamp.ai/installation/)[Insulation →Estimates by sqft, recurring re-inspects.](https://fieldcamp.ai/insulation-software/) 10 FAQ ## Common questions _EV contractors ask._ What is EV charging management software for install contractors? It's the all-in-one platform that runs an EV install and service shop — site surveys (often from a customer-submitted panel photo), multi-phase project tracking (permit → make-ready → mount → commissioning → energization), OCPP commissioning checklists, NEVI uptime SLA monitoring, AI-dispatched service calls when uptime drops, estimates, invoices, and reporting. It is different from a CMS (Charging Management System) like ChargePoint, AMPECO, or ChargeLab, which is the operator backend that handles the driver-side billing and roaming once the charger is live. FieldCamp is the contractor's side — and plays nicely alongside whichever CMS the site already uses. Is FieldCamp a CMS that competes with ChargePoint or AMPECO? No. FieldCamp is field service software for the contractors who install, commission, and maintain EV chargers — not the operator platform that handles driver-side billing and roaming. Your tech runs an OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1 handshake test from the FieldCamp mobile app at commissioning, so the station shows up correctly in ChargePoint, AMPECO, ChargeLab, EV Connect, FLO, or whichever CMS the site uses before the truck leaves. How does the photo-based site survey actually work? A customer (fleet ops manager, building owner, or homeowner) submits a photo of their electrical panel through your branded intake form. FieldCamp's vision pipeline extracts the panel manufacturer and model, main breaker amperage, available breaker spaces, phase configuration, and an estimated run distance to the planned mount location. It then drafts the make-ready scope — what size breaker, whether a subpanel is needed, conduit length, a NEC 625.42 service load calculation — before you've sent a truck. Inspired by how Qmerit handles intake. Does FieldCamp handle NEVI 97% uptime compliance? Yes. Uptime is tracked per port and per site, with NEVI's 97% threshold built into the alerting. When uptime drifts below threshold, FieldCamp surfaces it on the dispatch board, drafts the PMI visit, drafts the OEM warranty RMA if applicable, and the invoice can attach a NEVI compliance PDF. Quarterly visits chain automatically on the cadence you set — the typical NEVI-aligned schedule. What's in the OCPP commissioning checklist? 38 items across seven sections: pre-commissioning document review, electrical service & dedicated circuit verification, grounding & bonding, EVSE physical install inspection, connector output and functional testing (including the Control Pilot signal and GFCI/CCID test per NEC 625.54), network connectivity & OCPP configuration (1.6J or 2.0.1 handshake with the CMS, ChargeBoxId uniqueness, security profile and TLS), and final sign-off including a remote start/stop test from the CMS dashboard and AHJ acceptance. Can FieldCamp track every port — hardware brand, OCPP version, install date, warranty? Yes — that's the heart of how FieldCamp models EV. Each site holds EVSE stations, each station holds port records with Port type (NACS, CCS1, CHAdeMO, J1772, Type 2), Hardware brand and model (ChargePoint Express, ABB Terra, Wallbox Pulsar, Tesla Wall Connector), Serial, OCPP version (1.6J or 2.0.1), Install date, OEM warranty channel and expiry, and a Service status pill (Good, Due soon, Overdue). Service history rolls up automatically; drops below NEVI's 97% trigger the workflow. Does FieldCamp track OEM warranty channels for each charger? Yes. Each port logs the OEM warranty channel — ChargePoint Assure, ABB warranty portal, Wallbox RMA, Tesla service portal — so a claim is a one-tap workflow when a unit fails. The tech doesn't have to remember which OEM's portal to open, which serial format the RMA system expects, or whether the part is in warranty. Is FieldCamp a fit for small install shops, or only big infrastructure builders? Both. The data model and AI dispatch scale from a two-truck installer doing residential Level 2s, to a regional commercial contractor running DCFC for fleet depots, to a multi-state NEVI builder. Pricing is simple, flat, and per-user, and we set up your data model — your project phases, your OCPP commissioning steps, your PMI plans — with you on the onboarding call.
