Access to the right data can make or break business decisions, especially when it comes to property. The Nimbus platform has long been delivering property data and insights that have been a game-changer for property professionals across the UK. Industry leader— BP Pulse shares how Nimbus has streamlined their operations, accelerated their growth, and helped them make more informed decisions, faster.
How BP Pulse sped up ultra-fast EV charging site acquisitions
BP Pulse is at the forefront of developing ultra-fast EV charging stations across the UK. Peter Mossendew, Head of Real Estate for the company, explains how his team relies on Nimbus to help them find the best sites for new charging locations.
With a focus on busy motorways and major roads, the ability to quickly assess site viability is critical for BP Pulse. Peter and his team use the platform’s ownership and planning layers to gather vital information on potential sites. This allows them to assess site constraints, surrounding planning applications, and ownership details—all in one place. The result? A significant reduction in time spent pulling data from multiple sources. Peter explains:
"The fact that the team can pull it all from one place, it's all there in a flick of a switch, has really saved us a lot of time,"
This highlights the usefulness of Nimbus' traffic data, particularly in areas without official traffic counters. By analysing mobile phone data, BP Pulse can accurately gauge how busy a stretch of road is, which is crucial for determining the best locations for charging stations.
For Peter, how the Nimbus platform enables consistent decision-making within the team, is also a key benefit. The platform’s intuitive features enable the team to make sure that all board packs and presentations are uniform, not only saving them time, but also making sure that BP Pulse's capital investments are backed by reliable, consistent data. Peter explained:
"Rather than pulling data in from 10 different websites and being inconsistent, we drive that consistency of decision-making, and that really helps,"
For BP Pulse, Nimbus has truly been a game-changer in speeding up the process of site acquisitions for ultra-fast EV charging stations.
