About Us
Building intelligence into EV charging operations
Steam-A builds software that helps EV charging operators run more reliable, efficient, and scalable charging networks.
Through Iris, we bring network operations, asset management, maintenance, and operational intelligence into one connected ecosystem.
Our Story
Steam-A was built around a simple observation: operating EV charging infrastructure becomes significantly harder as networks scale. More chargers mean more faults, more field activity, more data, and more operational complexity.
We built Iris to simplify that complexity.
What started as software for managing charging networks has evolved into a broader platform focused on improving charger reliability, reducing downtime, and helping operators make better decisions using operational data.
Today, our focus is clear: help charging businesses move from reactive operations to intelligent, proactive management.
