Software Engineering

Platforms that run real energy assets

Web applications, data platforms, APIs, cloud infrastructure — built to plug into the messy real world and grow from a four-week MVP into something quietly running an entire estate. The dashboard is the easy 10%.

Energy software is only as good as the system it plugs into

Energy software almost never gets to live in a clean room. It has to talk to SCADA, IoT gateways, building management systems, market APIs, and a legacy database somebody stood up in 2008 and never wrote down. Most of the real engineering is in surviving that contact with reality — keeping the thing reliable when every feed it depends on is, in its own particular way, slightly broken.

“The hard part of energy software isn't the dashboard — it's everything behind it that has to be real-time, reliable and honest about the data.”

From brief to working outcome

01

Discover

Map the systems, data sources and users. Define the smallest platform that delivers real value.

02

Architect

Choose a stack that scales: cloud, data model, APIs, security and integration points.

03

Build

Focused sprints with working software in front of you early and often.

04

Integrate

Connect to SCADA, IoT, BMS and market data. Make the real-world plumbing reliable.

05

Scale

Harden for production and grow — same team, no handoff, no knowledge loss.

Frequently asked questions

Can you integrate with our existing SCADA / BMS / IoT systems?

Yes — that's usually the core of the work. We bridge SCADA, building management systems, IoT gateways and market APIs over protocols like MQTT and MODBUS, and make that integration reliable, not brittle.

Can you start small and scale later?

That's our default. We ship the smallest platform that delivers real value — often a four-week MVP — then harden and scale it for production with the same team, so nothing is lost in a handoff.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full IP ownership of the code, designs and deliverables transfers to you as standard.

What does your stack look like?

Typically Python and modern web front-ends on AWS or Azure, with Kubernetes/Docker, time-series stores like InfluxDB, relational databases, and Grafana for visualisation — chosen per project, not by default.
