Automating revenue share across a 12-property retail portfolio
Twelve malls, twelve different revenue-share agreements, and a finance team spending a week a month on statements nobody trusted.

The deployment
Profile
- Mix
- AC destination charging with DC at four sites
- Audiences
- Mall visitors, tenant staff, and a nearby fleet
- Commercial
- Revenue share, some with minimum guarantees
The problem
What was in the way
- 01Each property had negotiated separately: some on percentage of net revenue, some on a fixed rate per kWh, two with minimum monthly guarantees.
- 02Statements were assembled by hand from exports, which meant they arrived late and were argued about when they did.
- 03Property finance teams had no way to verify the numbers, so every month produced the same reconciliation call.
- 04Visitor, tenant-staff and fleet drivers all used the same connectors and all paid the same price.
The approach
What was actually done
Each step names the mechanism rather than the outcome, so you can judge whether it would transfer to your situation.
Contracts as configuration
Each property’s terms — structure, rate, minimum guarantee, effective dates — were recorded as a partner contract, so the agreement and the calculation became the same object rather than two versions of one intention.
One settlement run, twelve statements
Closing a period now produces every property’s statement at once: sessions, energy, gross value, deductions, platform fee, taxes and net payable, ready for approval.
A login instead of an email
Each property received a scoped partner login showing their own chargers, uptime, sessions and earnings — live, rather than monthly.
Three audiences, three prices
Driver groups were used to separate mall visitors from tenant staff and the fleet account, so the same hardware serves a retail price, a subsidised staff rate and a committed fleet rate.
The outcome
What changed
- Statements are produced by a settlement run rather than assembled by hand.
- Property teams check their own numbers, and the monthly reconciliation call largely stopped happening.
- Audience-based pricing raised realisation on visitor sessions without changing what staff pay.
- Adding a thirteenth property is now a contract entry rather than a new spreadsheet.
Platform
What was used
Settlements & payouts
Automated revenue sharing with site owners and partners, with statements, payout runs and a reconcilable ledger.
Partner management
A scoped portal for site partners, franchisees and hosts — their chargers, their sessions, their earnings, nothing else.
Tariffs & pricing plans
Per-kWh, per-minute, flat-fee and time-of-day pricing, with idle fees, driver-group rates and tariff groups across sites.
GST invoicing
GST-compliant invoices and receipts for drivers, fleets and partners, with HSN/SAC codes, tax splits and sequential numbering.
