What Smatrics does
SMATRICS GmbH & Co KG is a Vienna-based full-service e-mobility provider founded in 2012 (registered 2014), structured as a joint venture between VERBUND Energy4Business GmbH (74.9%) and EnBW mobility+ AG & Co. KG (25.1%). The company operates as a 360° provider spanning consulting, project management, hardware procurement, installation, technical operations, billing, customer service, and roaming across the e-mobility value chain in Austria and Germany.
The proprietary technology stack centers on the charVIS platform family: charVIS Operations is a Charge Point Management System (CPMS) for network operators offering remote session control, alarming, firmware management, and dashboards; charVIS Business is an enterprise management portal for fleet managers and energy suppliers covering charging cards, contracts, and fleet oversight. Adjacent modules include Smart Charging (dynamic load management to prevent grid peak loads), an AFIR-compliant Direct Payment Terminal with Eichrecht certification, an API & Backend layer for third-party integration, and White Label solutions for partner-branded apps and cards. Supporting SMATRICS operations are a B2C iOS/Android charging app, the SMATRICS EnBW ultra-fast charging network (the largest in Austria), and the SMATRICS Depot Club for shared truck-charging infrastructure.
The business model combines multiple revenue streams: B2B infrastructure services (planning, installation, hardware, operations, billing) for enterprise fleets, logistics, municipal utilities, gas stations, energy suppliers, and real estate; SaaS subscriptions for charVIS software; consumer charging tariffs (Charge Simple €0/month, Charge & Roam €4.90/month, Charge & Roam+ €8.90/month) with per-kWh usage fees; roaming and billing transaction fees across the 33,000+ Austria / 250,000+ Europe point network; and THG-quota referral commissions via partner Carbonify. Customers span enterprise (METRO, ÖBB, Deutsche Bahn, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, REWE, BILLA, DB Schenker, IKEA, OMV, MAN, Renault Trucks) and individual EV drivers. Geographic reach is DACH-focused, with service extension through pan-European roaming agreements.
