Dispatch & logistics platform for a national hydrogen network

Built as lead developer for a national H₂ refueling network operator.

THE CHALLENGE

A national network of 30+ hydrogen stations was planned with spreadsheets and phone calls — nobody could say with confidence which station would run empty next.

Every delivery was reconciled by hand against paper delivery notes and, since RED III, RFNBO sustainability certificates: hours of repetitive work with compliance risk attached.

WHAT I BUILT

I designed and built the dispatch platform: per-station demand forecasting, run-empty risk projection, and automated draft ordering that plans a full week across the network in one click.

Deliveries are detected from station pressure telemetry alone, sized from the pressure step, and auto-matched against scanned delivery notes (OCR) and monthly RFNBO sustainability proofs.

Multi-station tours are bundled from the same hydrogen source; a live map shows availability, storage level and hours-to-empty per station.

WHAT CHANGED

Weekly network planning dropped from a day of manual work to reviewing auto-generated drafts.

Thousands of deliveries detected and reconciled from telemetry — discrepancies surface automatically.

Run-empty risk is flagged days ahead instead of discovered by drivers at the pump.
