Project Overview
A fast-growing EV charging start-up needed a flexible, scalable tech stack to support rapid infrastructure expansion. With limited internal resources and competing priorities, they turned to Smart Data to deliver data integration, warehousing, reporting, and customer-facing tools that could evolve with their business. Smart Data stepped in to deliver serverless data pipelines, a Snowflake data warehouse, a secure customer dashboard, and JIRA support workflows, all tailored to the fast pace and evolving needs of the business. The result was a scalable, integrated foundation designed to grow alongside the client.
Project Challenge
The client had multiple urgent needs typical of high-growth start-ups:
Unify data across multiple platforms (Synop, Geotab, Ampcontrol)
Build a performant, fault-tolerant cloud data architecture
Provide customers with a secure, self-service dashboard
Establish internal workflows in Jira Service Management
Recruit and onboard a full-time Data Warehouse Architect
They needed a partner who could guide technical strategy, provide hands-on execution, and adapt to evolving priorities.
Project Approach
Smart Data supported the client across architecture, development, and staffing. Our delivery included:
This holistic approach allowed us to unify various platforms into a single digital experience. We emphasized real-time data exchange, a clean and accessible UI, and the flexibility to evolve the solution throughout the development cycle.
