Trace: Unifying complex systems as a trusted technology partner

Trace is a Swedish company that’s tackling the challenges of planning, traceability, and responsibility in the construction industry using advances in distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Metergram took the time to fully understand our vision and craft it into an effective solution. Their team excels on all levels – strategic thinking, technical skills, and it is also just great to work with them.

Challenge

For several years, Trace has been in an innovation phase, building prototypes and testing technologies and suppliers. In 2020, they decided it was time to act on their insights.

Trace needed a technology partner that could work with the several applications that were already in production, develop a new system, and create a plan that would unite all systems.

Solution

As their primary technology partner, our overarching goal was to run a collaborative guided process that would support Trace in narrowing down the details of their new system

How we did it?

Evaluation

Evaluation of frameworks, cloud providers and technology stacks

Creation

Creation of criterion matrix mapping technology choices against scalability, data portability and modularity

Testing

Prototyping with Kubernetes, microservice models, message queue systems and database engines

Outcome

Together with our client, we decided on a serverless architecture in AWS that provides excellent support for all the most important criteria on the matrix.

We’re now building a multi-tenant SaaS platform where all micro-applications can be run separately but also gather seamlessly in a common interface.

Thanks to this solid technical foundation, Trace has been able to test prototypes for UX and UI. With the architecture ready and a technical roadmap for 2021/2022, Trace finally has a clear picture of the unification of all systems.

Smartcar: Implementing Telematics in Fleet Management for Vehicle Agnosticism

A Fleet Operator, seeking to modernize and improve their vehicle management capabilities, approached us with a unique challenge. They aimed to integrate telematics into their proprietary management system to enhance operational efficiency, vehicle monitoring, and future scalability. The catch was that the fleet composition was dynamic, with an array of vehicle makes and models expected to join in the future, necessitating a solution that was agnostic to car manufacturers.

Streamlining Hub Integration for a CPO Platform through Advanced OCPI Capabilities

A prominent Charge Point Operator (CPO) platform offering a comprehensive Charging Station Management System (CSMS) faced the challenge of expanding its service reach and streamlining connectivity with multiple e-Mobility Service Providers (eMSPs). The goal was to harness existing roaming capabilities to expose its network to a wider user base efficiently. Despite having direct connections to eMSPs via OCPI, the client sought to enhance its roaming capabilities through a strategic integration with a leading EV roaming hub.
