Introduction
In addition to the classic reporting and asset management of your own fleet, the first Work Center is now available in the TRONITY Fleet solution. A Work Center represents a dedicated workspace. Our first Work Center focuses on the review, approval, and billing of employees' home charging sessions. This allows the employee benefit "reimbursement of home charging costs for the company car" to be easily represented and managed.
What does home charging actually mean?
Home charging is the process of charging an electric vehicle at home. Further information can be found in the following article:

Refund via the Work Center
The Work Center is now located in the dashboard of the TRONITY fleet solution. In the Work Center itself, it is possible to select a specific time period during which the employees' home charging sessions will be displayed. At a central location, it is now possible to track how many charges were made from home, what costs are incurred, and whether the charge was created by the system or manually.
