HOBACA

It’s always an honor for a software product to be featured in Bug d.o.o., Croatia's pioneering #tech magazine At a recent BUG event, we had the opportunity to showcase our solution and demonstrate the innovation behind #HOBACA. Our platform is built on three main pillars: charging point owners, EV drivers, and #power system infrastructure, bringing valuable benefits to everyone involved in the process. From increased #revenue through modules like dynamic pricing for charging point owners, to a seamless, app-free charging experience for #EV drivers, and #flexibility provision for the power system — HOBACA truly embodies our motto: #simplicity at its best.

The #HOBACA team is happy to announce our participation in this year's #HoReCA Adria Fair! As the demand for quality e-mobility infrastructure grows, we are proud to present our innovative solutions. From seamless integration with leading #hospitality property management systems to standalone #payment #terminals, our solutions ensure a smooth experience for clients and minimal training for staff. We're especially excited to highlight our Sleep&Charge module, designed specifically for the hospitality sector. This solution allows guests to start charging their EVs with their #hotel key card, and the #billing is as simple as charging minibar costs. With everything integrated into the hotel’s #PMS, there’s no need for additional staff training. In addition to that, our standard payment options range from Google Pay and Apple Pay to business invoices and RFID cards, offering #flexibility for all types of users. HOBACA continues to develop innovative solutions for the management of EV charging stations, staying at the forefront of the industry. We invite you to visit our booth and connect with our Sales Manager, Marijan Buljan , for more information.

Excited to announce that #HOBACA is participating in this year's #IdeaKnockout competition, organized by Bug d.o.o. We’re eager to present how our innovative backend platform is revolutionizing #EV charging station management and unlocking the full potential of e-mobility.

Upoznajte naše nove članove! Kako bismo vam približili nove članove i njihove djelatnosti, danas predstavljamo tvrtku HOBACA o kojoj smo razgovarali s Alen Žarković. Što je HOBACA i čime se bave? Odakle im inspiracija za ime tvrtke i kako je povezana s njihovim poslovanjem? Koja je bila njihova motivacija za priključenje udruzi i kako gledaju na stanje u hrvatskom IT sektoru? "Prepoznali smo električna vozila kao jedan od bitnih segmenata elektroenergetskog sustava. Dugoročno je cilj pružanje krakova u različite segmente distribuiranih izvora energije kako bi u skladu bili proizvođači i potrošači električne energije te operatori elektroenergetskog sustava. Vjerujemo kako ključ uspjeha HOBACA-e leži u motiviranom timu, komplementarnosti znanja koje imamo u kompaniji, a tome pridonose diplomirani inženjeri računarstva i energetike, te viziji kakav će proizvod i rješenje sutrašnjica zahtijevati i kako ga mi možemo isporučiti, ovdje konkretno u elektroenergetskom sustavu 21. stoljeća." "Iako je hrvatski IT sektor izrazito jak s obzirom na situaciju globalnog tržišta, ipak ima mjesta za nekoliko promjena koje bi nas još bolje predstavile, kako lokalno tako i globalno. Smatramo da talent treba poticati i graditi što je ranije moguće, a udruga može pomoći tako da promovira zahtjeve tržišta za iskusnim radnicima tj. da bude promotor ranog stjecanja iskustva kako studentima tako i kolegama koji traže prvo zaposlenje."

In today's Educational Monday series, we focus on the connection between e-mobility and the "most important secondary thing in the world" - #football. With UEFA EURO 2024 already in full swing, we explore how football and e-mobility go hand in hand. From electrified car fleets for star players at top clubs like Real Madrid C.F. and FC Bayern München to innovative energy management concepts at Johan Cruijff Arena in #Amsterdam, the synergy is undeniable. One clear sign of e-mobility's growing significance is that BYD, a electric vehicle and battery manufacturer, is one of the main sponsors and the official e-mobility partner of #EURO2024 We wish the best of luck to the teams you cheer for and invite you to enjoy this football-themed blog post.

As part of our Educational Monday series, we’re excited to share some valuable insights on how to make the most of your electric vehicle (#EV). Did you know that charging your EV at #home, especially if you have solar panels, can be incredibly #economical? It’s one of the best ways to cut down on driving costs, sometimes even making it free! Imagine pulling up to your favorite #retail shop and plugging in your car while you #shop. With destination chargers and functionalities such as #HOBACA’s Shop&Charge module, not only do you get the convenience of charging while you shop, but you may also receive discounts based on your spending. Similarly, #hotels that use HOBACA’s Sleep&Charge service offer complimentary charging for guests, making your stay even more pleasant and cost-effective. While transit #charging along #highways offers the speed and convenience needed for long trips, it comes at a higher price. Understanding when to use these fast chargers strategically can save you time on the road while managing your costs effectively. #Workplace charging is another fantastic option. Many companies offer charging facilities, and with platforms like HOBACA’s fleet management module, they can manage and potentially subsidize employee charging. This makes it convenient and cost-effective for you to keep your EV charged and ready. For charging point owners, HOBACA provides the right tools to deliver a bespoke user experience, ensuring seamless and efficient EV charging for all users. Intrigued? Learn more about how to drive and charge your EV in the most cost-efficient manner.
