Gridserve partners Dootrix to help power sun-to-wheel ambitions

Buckinghamshire-based Gridserve, which is rolling out electric forecourts and EV charging points across the UK, has signed a long-term, multi-million pound partnership with Fareham-based Microsoft-Azure expert Dootrix to provide back-end cloud engineering services that will help deliver a stress-free, electric-vehicle driving experience.  

Gridserve’s sun-to-wheel operations start with hybrid solar farms that promote biodiversity while generating power. They’re sited as close to possible to the company’s charging points and forecourts.  

Dootrix has been working with Gridserve since 2019, and also works with household names including Heathrow and Confused.com. It has already developed a range of critical business systems for Gridserve and continues to build out its Azure cloud platform.

Dootrix's digital technology will accompany Gridserve's nationwide rollout of charging points. First steps will focus on the driver interface before diversifying to offer a range of forecourt, vehicle and ancillary services.

“Gridserve has worked with a number of partners over the years and it’s a huge endorsement of Dootrix that they chose us to help realise their goals,” says Dootrix CEO, Rob Borley. “We couldn’t be prouder to be working with one of the fastest growing, innovative, and passionate companies; one that’s set to transform the EV experience and help save the planet in the process.”
