Their first sites went live just 23 days after contract signing. With commissioning new sites down to 15-minutes and Monta\u2019s automated financial capabilities, they&#8217;re now positioned to 4x their growth in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Challenge: Manual Processes That Wouldn&#8217;t Scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue Planet was growing fast, but their legacy backend couldn&#8217;t keep up. They wanted a platform and app that looked and felt as modern and high-tech as EVs themselves, with clean design and functional depth that could streamline day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, they were stuck with time-consuming manual work. Commissioning a single site took half a day, often spent on the phone with their old software provider and hardware manufacturers troubleshooting issues. Financial reconciliation was worse. The team spent 2 days every quarter manually compiling charging session data into spreadsheets, scheduling client meetings to review totals, breaking down fee structures in Excel, and writing checks to site hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignright is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube  max-w-sm mx-auto wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quarter End Finances Without Monta \u26a1\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xIXDujpPmYA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution: Automation and Real-Time Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue Planet chose Monta for features that directly addressed their biggest pain points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monta Wallet automated the entire financial reconciliation process. Revenue splits between site hosts and operators now happen automatically with every transaction. No more spreadsheets, no more quarterly client meetings to review totals in Excel, no more check-writing. The team can see exactly where every cent goes across their network without manual tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monta Control and the Network Operations dashboard transformed daily troubleshooting. Instead of checking chargers individually, error notifications now surface instantly. The Blue Planet team can dive into OCPP logs for diagnostics and use Monta AI to identify problems and rule out causes before calling support. What used to require phone calls with manufacturers now gets resolved in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onboarding process used checklists and manufacturer-specific guides that let Blue Planet commission real sites while learning the platform. Each deployment became smoother as they applied lessons from previous sites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"max-w-5xl mx-auto \">\n    <quote-slider data-quotes='[{\"title\":\"\\u0022Monta was really good at just showing what would make our day-to-day\",\"quote_text\":\"more streamlined.

The set-it-and-forget-it system through Monta Wallet handles all revenue splits automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real-time visibility replaced manual monitoring. The Network Operations dashboard shows status, errors, and utilization across their network instantly. When issues arise, the team troubleshoots through OCPP logs and AI diagnostics instead of waiting on support calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efficiency gains cleared the path for rapid scaling.
