Below is our recent interview with Jean-François Marchand, Marketing Director at UgoWork:
Q: Can you provide a brief overview of your company?
A: UgoWork is a Canadian technology company that specializes in lithium-ion energy solutions for industrial electric fleets—particularly Class I, II and III forklifts. We help large organizations transition from legacy lead-acid batteries or internal combustion engines to an electric and fully connected, data-driven energy ecosystem.
Our modular battery systems, smart chargers, and connected software platform are engineered to improve fleet uptime, reduce energy waste, and unlock new efficiencies through predictive insights and real-time visibility. UgoWork serves Tier 1 enterprise customers across North America and is trusted in industries where uptime, safety, and sustainability are non-negotiable.
Q: What makes your company unique?
A: What sets UgoWork apart is our Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model and deep commitment to operational reliability. Rather than selling just hardware, we deliver a turnkey, cloud-connected energy platform that includes batteries, charging infrastructure, telematics, and lifecycle services—all under a single subscription model.
We’re not just solving power—we’re solving downtime, inefficiency, and complexity.
Q: What is your core competence?
A: Our core competence lies in our integration of lithium-ion battery technology, proprietary IoT infrastructure, and customer-focused service delivery. UgoWork combines engineering excellence with real-world operational insights, helping fleet managers eliminate guesswork, extend battery lifespan, and optimize energy costs across multiple sites.
Q: What advantage does your company have over its competitors?
A: Most competitors either offer commodity batteries or fragmented service. UgoWork stands out by owning the entire energy stack—hardware, software, and service—so our customers get consistent performance, predictable costs, and a single partner accountable for their energy performance.
We also deliver unparalleled transparency and analytics through our platform, helping clients make smarter decisions in real time, without needing internal battery expertise.
Q: How would you convince the reader to start using your services?
A: If your business depends on material handling equipment to move fast and never stop, UgoWork is your energy partner. We take care of uptime, energy performance, and sustainability—so you can focus on operations.
Let us show you how a modern, connected lithium-ion platform can replace battery headaches with a high-ROI, fleet-optimized solution. No upfront CAPEX. No surprises. Just performance.
Q: What’s the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: Our service delivery team operates like a trusted extension of our customers’ operations. We don’t just install and leave—we stay engaged, monitor usage patterns, proactively resolve issues, and continuously recommend optimizations.
Also, our systems are designed and assembled in North America, with quality control standards that match the most demanding industrial environments.
Q: Is there anything more you would like to add or highlight?
A: UgoWork is helping build the energy infrastructure of the future—one that is intelligent, service-based, and built for uptime. We’re proud to support some of North America’s largest logistics and manufacturing operations in their energy transition.
We’re not here to sell batteries—we’re here to power progress.
