How Brick Technology is powering smarter charging with third-party integrations
Power bank sharing is evolving. With Brick’s third-party integrations, charging becomes a value-added service—powering perks for tourists, students, and loyal customers. It’s not just a charge; it’s an experience your brand can be part of.
Brick’s power bank sharing network does more than keep phones charged—it enables experiences. Through third-party integrations, Brick helps cities, universities, brands, and event organizers offer mobile charging as a value-added service.
This article explores how third-party integrations work, why they matter, and how your organization can get involved.
What Are Third-Party Integrations in Power Bank Sharing?
What does it mean to integrate with Brick?
Third-party integrations allow external organizations to:
- Offer free or discounted Brick power bank rentals
- Embed Brick into membership cards, loyalty apps, and event passes
- Track usage, engagement, and outcomes via real-time analytics
- Use charging as a branded or sponsored user experience
Think of it as “Charging as a Service” that plugs into any physical or digital program.
Why Are Integrations the Future of Shared Charging?
Why should charging be part of the user experience?
Traditional charging = a transaction.
Integrated charging = a benefit.
When charging is bundled into:
- Tourism passes
- Student programs
- Loyalty memberships
- Event wristbands
…it becomes part of the infrastructure that improves convenience, satisfaction, and brand value.
