What Smarkia does

Smarkia (legal entity SMARKIA ENERGY, SL) is a Spain-based SaaS energy management platform headquartered in León, founded in 2011 by Javier Lozano (CEO). The company's Modular Service Toolkit (MST) bundles five integrated services — Data Acquisition, Energy Monitoring, Intelligence & Predictive Analytics, Remote Control, and Flexibility Management — onto a cloud-native architecture built on Microsoft Azure. Underpinning the platform are multiple proprietary AI-driven sub-products: the Energy Management System (EMS), which optimizes HVAC and cold-chain consumption; Grid Scale for battery-storage revenue optimization and degradation management; Virtual Assets Management (VAM) for aggregated demand response; and FlexIA, a 2025-launched combination of EMS and VAM for grid flexibility market participation. The platform is multi-protocol (CIRCUTOR, ADVANTICSYS, KROMSCHROEDER, ZIV) and integrates with SCADA and BMS systems.

The company serves enterprise customers across Spain in industrial, retail, utility, renewable, EV, banking, and public administration verticals, with named logos including Klépierre (50% electricity reduction at Príncipe Pío), Mercadona (2,000+ operational points, 900+ solar inverters monitored), Gullón, Repsol, MN8, BP Helios, Parques Reunidos, and Mercedes-Benz. Reported outcomes include up to 40% savings in cold-chain applications, up to 20% in HVAC, and €15K–€34K+ recurring annual savings for individual industrial deployments.

Smarkia monetizes exclusively through annual subscriptions priced per measurement point (with tiered volume discounts and optional Smart Invoice and Advanced Reports modules), distributed through a 30+ partner channel network reaching 300+ end customers. The company holds ISO 50001, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and UNE 166002 certifications, and has been recognized by Verdantix (2024 Smart Innovators) and as a Great Place to Work for two consecutive years. Total disclosed funding to date is approximately $920K across two early rounds (2012, 2013), and the company operates with 51–100 employees.

Revenue model

1. Annual Software Subscriptions: Smarkia sells annual subscriptions with pricing calculated based on: the product selected, additional modules (Smart Invoice and/or Advanced Reports), number of devices connected for measurement, and reading frequency (daily or hourly). Prices apply economies of scale with unit price decreasing as the number of measurement points increases.
2. Module Add-ons: Additional modules including Smart Invoice (generates own invoices independent of utility, with power and tariff optimizers) and Advanced Reports (custom report generation adapted to user needs).
