CSMS Switching & Failover

Every Charger.
Multiple CMSs.
In Parallel.

RIOD Charger360 connects each deployed charger to multiple CSMS platforms at the same time. Route drivers, switch backends, support any CSMS driver app. All from one central place, without touching a single charger in the field.

The Risk

Single-CSMS Dependency Is a
Business Continuity Risk

A charger tied to one backend is exposed to every problem that backend has. Four common patterns break large deployments:

Risk 01

Backend Downtime

When a CSMS goes down, chargers may stop accepting sessions, reject authorisations, or lose transaction visibility.

Risk 02

Commercial Terms Change

A CSMS provider raises prices, restricts features, or bundles unwanted modules. And you can't switch without touching every charger.

Risk 03

Feature Gaps

The CSMS lacks a specific capability your customer or fleet needs, and adding it requires vendor roadmap coordination.

Risk 04

Multi-Customer Complexity

Different customers or sites prefer different backends, but the charger firmware is locked to one endpoint.

Multi-App Support

Any CMS App. Same Charger.

Every CSMS has its own driver app. Today, a driver who has CSMS A's app cannot charge at a charger locked to CSMS B. That's a customer walked away.

Because Charger360 connects each charger to multiple CSMS platforms in parallel, any of the connected CSMS apps can start a session at that charger. Wider addressable driver base per charger. And if one app goes down, drivers on the others keep charging.

Without Charger360

One charger = one CMS = one driver app.

  • • Drivers need the right app or they leave
  • • Fragmented customer experience
  • • App-side outage means no sessions
With Charger360

One charger = many connected CMSs = many apps.

  • • Any connected CMS's app charges here
  • • Larger addressable driver base
  • • One CMS app down, others keep working
What It Enables

Six Capabilities That Make
CSMS Switching Safe

Charger360 doesn't just reroute traffic. It does it with the safeguards a production charger network needs.

Multi-CMS Connectivity

Connect each charger to multiple CSMS platforms in parallel. Standing configuration, no last-minute setup, no vendor lock-in.

Remote Backend Switching

Authorised operators switch charger routing from the Charger360 dashboard. No site visits, no firmware reflashes.

Failover Across Any Connected CMS

Reroute chargers to any of the other connected CSMS platforms when one becomes unavailable, per site or per customer.

Rollback Support

Every switch is reversible. Roll chargers back to the previous backend with a single authorised action.

Switching Audit Logs

Every routing change is stamped with actor, timestamp, previous and new backend, and reason code.

Transaction-Safe Switching

In-flight sessions are handled deliberately. Completed on the current backend before rerouting new sessions.

Use Case

CSMS Provider Change or Downtime

Two of the most common CSMS incidents. A provider change and a sudden outage. Charger360 handles both without a truck roll.

Without Charger360

Provider Change

  • Manual reconfiguration per charger
  • Downtime risk across affected sites
  • Field coordination with electricians
  • Weeks of migration effort

CMS Downtime

  • Chargers stop operating or lose visibility
  • No fast recovery path
  • Revenue loss during outage
  • SLA breaches with customers
With RIOD Charger360

Provider Change

  • Authorised operator switches routing remotely
  • Site-wise or customer-wise rollout supported
  • In-flight sessions completed safely
  • Rollback available if issues surface

CMS Downtime

  • Reroute affected chargers to any other connected CSMS
  • Continue accepting sessions during outage
  • Every routing change is audit-logged
  • Restore original routing once the CSMS is back
