What autoLOTO does

autoLOTO is a cloud-based hazardous energy management SaaS company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The platform provides real-time Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) execution software that uses a patented pass-fail phase gate system to validate operator intent against multiple parameters (location, equipment, circuit breaker) within milliseconds before any switching action is taken, paired with a digital twin of the site's electrical infrastructure that maps every energy pathway from substation to rack level. The solution includes the autoLOTO Mobile Application for field workers, a Worksite Manager Interface for remote oversight and audit trails, and add-on modules for eMOPs (electronic Methods of Procedure), Construction View (visual one-line status), and Digital Permits. The company also embeds qualified Energy Marshals on client sites as a professional service.

autoLOTO sells primarily into data center construction and operations (covering nearly 5GW of validated projects with zero human-error LOTO incidents and protecting over $20B of capital projects), with secondary use in industrial construction and mission-critical commissioning. Named enterprise customers include general and electrical contractors such as Guild Electric, Walsh Construction, Adams Electric, Clayco, Clune, Weitz, Gray, and EPI, plus data center operators Salute and an unnamed major hyperscale operator.

The business model combines SaaS subscriptions (mobile application + Worksite Manager access, claimed 10:1 ROI) with professional services revenue from training, electrical node data set creation, QR-code infrastructure installation, and 24/7 support, including Energy Marshal personnel. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with no channel partners; marketing is content-driven via blog, whitepapers, industry events, partner channels (notably MCIM), and a product demo video. Following a $1.1M CAI seed in 2022, the company received a majority investment from Baird Capital (Global Fund III) in February 2026 and appointed former GE Vernova software CEO Scott Reese to the board in April 2026. The firm remains small (1-10 employees as listed) but operates across North America and international client sites and maintains SOC 2 Type II certification under its AutoLOTO, Inc. corporate entity.

Core offering

autoLOTO sells a cloud-based, mobile-first SaaS platform that automates Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and hazardous energy management for data center construction and operations. Its proprietary digital twin maps every electrical pathway from substation to rack level, and a patented pass-fail phase gate validates operator intent in milliseconds before any action is taken. Offerings are delivered as a mobile application paired with a web-based Worksite Manager interface, augmented by an expert Energy Marshal service and tailored into Data Center Construction and Data Center Operations solutions.

Product overview

autoLOTO is a cloud-based hazardous energy management platform offering a unified product portfolio centered on its patented pass-fail phase gate mobile application and digital twin technology. The core platform consists of the autoLOTO Mobile Application paired with the web-based Worksite Manager Interface, which together provide real-time LOTO validation, remote oversight, and audit trail capabilities. Built on this core are specialized modules: eMOPs for digital procedure management, Construction View for visual status tracking on single lines, and Digital Permits for isolation planning. The platform is offered as two market-specific solutions—Data Center Construction and Data Center Operations—each deploying the same core technology with tailored workflows for their respective environments. The Energy Marshal Service provides expert personnel to embed within client teams, serving as both a standalone offering and a bridge to ensure full platform utilization. The platform's digital twin technology serves as the unifying data layer across all modules, storing electrical infrastructure data that is validated against client specifications and updated in real-time as conditions change.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• MCIMcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 18 March 2026Strategic partnership connecting hazardous energy execution during construction and commissioning directly to structured operational intelligence in live AI/HPC environments. The partnership creates the first continuous digital governance layer that eliminates blind spots when systems operate in parallel - asset data remains intact across handoff, compliance workflows inherit verified execution records, and governance is maintained without manual reconstruction. MCIM manages more than 6.5 GW of IT capacity across 90+ countries.
• SaluteminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Salute is a global leader in integrated lifecycle data center services. This partnership builds on MCIM's broader partner ecosystem and reflects strategy to integrate construction safety, live operational oversight, and portfolio intelligence into a unified operating framework. Connected through the MCIM partnership ecosystem.

Direct peers

• SafetyCulture: Workplace safety and inspection platform (iAuditor) used across construction and industrial operations. Directly comparable to autoLOTO as a mobile-first safety software targeting frontline workers and EHS teams, though broader in scope and not specialized in LOTO.
• VelocityEHS: Enterprise EHS management software platform covering safety, compliance, and operational risk. Comparable to autoLOTO as a digital safety platform for industrial environments, though broader in scope and not specializing in LOTO digital twin workflows.
• Intelex Technologies: EHS and quality management SaaS platform serving industrial customers. Comparable to autoLOTO as a software-driven safety and compliance platform for industrial/energy operations, with overlapping buyer personas.
• MCIM: Operational intelligence platform for mission-critical environments managing 6.5+ GW of IT capacity. autoLOTO's strategic partner creating a continuous digital governance layer between construction and operations.
• Salute: Global integrated lifecycle data center services provider. An actual autoLOTO partner and customer, they serve the same hyperscale data center buyer base and represent a meaningful adjacent peer/channels partner.
• EHS Insight: Cloud-based EHS management platform for industrial safety, compliance, and incident management. Comparable to autoLOTO as a safety software vendor serving industrial and construction environments.

Broad incumbents

• Panduit: Industrial electrical and network infrastructure solutions including LOTO safety products. Comparable to autoLOTO as a vendor in the electrical safety ecosystem for data center and industrial operators.
