General information
- Short Summary
- An independent software solution for cost-saving, comprehensive energy management is offered, unifying all energy carriers on a single platform. It utilises open protocols, integrates IoT technologies and employs AI for anomaly detection, time series correction and optimisation suggestions. Customer needs are flexibly met using a plugin system and open application programming interfaces (APIs), enabling individual customisation. Partners are sought for commercial/outsourcing/investment agreement
- Full Description
-
An independent software solution for comprehensive energy management has been developed to tackle the challenges modern enterprises face in monitoring and optimising their energy consumption. Recognising that many companies rely on fragmented tools—such as separate programmes for electricity monitoring or vendor-specific applications tied to particular energy meters—this solution unifies all energy carriers onto a single, cohesive platform. It integrates electricity, gas, water, steam, compressed air, heating, cooling, and even waste management, providing a holistic view of energy consumption across all operations.
Key Features:
Open protocols and manufacturer independence: the software uses open standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices regardless of the manufacturer. This approach eliminates vendor lock-in and allows seamless integration with existing equipment, reducing costs and increasing flexibility.
Integration of IoT technologies: leveraging the Internet of Things, the platform connects to numerous sensors and devices throughout a facility. Real-time data acquisition enhances responsiveness and enables dynamic energy management strategies that adapt to operational demands.
Artificial Intelligence for enhanced analytics: AI-driven algorithms perform anomaly detection to identify unusual energy consumption patterns, correct time series data inaccuracies, and generate optimisation suggestions. This results in actionable insights for reducing energy costs and improving sustainability.
Customisation through plugins and open APIs: the software offers high customisation via a plugin system and open APIs. Users can extend functionality, integrate specialised tools, or develop custom applications tailored to their specific needs. This fosters an ecosystem of continuous innovation and adaptation.
Target Market:
The solution is designed for industrial and commercial enterprises aiming to optimise energy usage, reduce operational costs, and achieve sustainability goals. Energy consultants, auditors, energy communities, and contractors also benefit from its ability to manage and monitor distributed energy resources.
Addressing Market Challenges:
By providing a unified platform, the software eliminates the inefficiencies and data silos caused by multiple, disconnected energy management tools. It offers streamlined operations, enhanced transparency, and better control over energy resources.
Differentiation from competitors:
This solution stands out through its combination of open protocols, comprehensive integration of all energy carriers, advanced AI analytics, and flexibility via plugins and open APIs. Its manufacturer-independent approach allows organisations to tailor the system without being confined to proprietary technologies.
Development and expertise:
A team of experienced professionals in energy management and software engineering supports the software's development. Collaboration with specialised developers ensures incorporation of the latest technological advancements, while input from clients and energy experts shapes a user-centric design addressing real-world needs.
The Austrian company is interested in finding partners to collaborate in different aspects of their business ranging from commercial distribution & promotion to strategic & financial investment but also in product development to expand and enhance the software solution. - Advantages and Innovations

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Expected role of the partner under a commercial agreement
Under a commercial agreement, the partner is expected to act as a distributor or reseller of the comprehensive energy management software solution. Their role involves leveraging their market presence and industry connections to promote and sell the software to target customers. The partner will handle marketing activities, including advertising, organising promotional events, and conducting product demonstrations. They are responsible for establishing and managing customer relationships, providing sales support and potentially offering first-line technical assistance. The partner should gather customer feedback and market insights to help refine marketing strategies and inform future product development.
Expected role of the partner under an outsourcing software development agreement
In an outsourcing software development agreement, the partner is expected to function as the dedicated external development team responsible for enhancing and expanding the software solution, including providing skilled software engineers, developers and project managers to work on specified modules or features (e.g. integrating AI capabilities, IoT technologies and developing the plugin system). The partner will collaborate closely with the company's internal stakeholders to understand requirements, design system architectures and implement solutions according to defined specifications. The partner must also ensure that all intellectual property rights are appropriately assigned and that confidentiality is maintained throughout the project.
Expected role of the partner under an investment agreement
Under an investment agreement, the partner is expected to provide capital funding to support the development, scaling and market penetration of the solution. Their role involves investing financial resources in exchange for equity ownership, profit-sharing arrangements, or other agreed-upon returns. The partner may also offer strategic guidance, industry expertise and valuable networks to accelerate business growth. They might participate in governance by taking a seat on the board of directors or acting as an advisor, contributing to high-level decision-making processes. The partner is expected to support the company's strategic objectives, assist in risk management and help in securing additional resources or partnerships if necessary. While they contribute to shaping the company's direction, they should respect the management's autonomy in daily operations. - Type and Size of Partner
