What Olmatic does
Olmatic GmbH is a German energy management and consulting firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Stuttgart (with a secondary location in Freudenstadt). The company targets industrial enterprises that consume at least 2 GWh of electricity per year — spanning machine building, automotive, steel and metal processing, building materials, retail and logistics, energy and infrastructure, and agriculture and food processing. Its core proposition is reducing industrial energy spend without requiring the customer to switch utility or tariff supplier.
The company's primary product is 'visions', a cloud-based AI energy platform that combines real-time forecasting at quarter-hour resolution with autonomous optimization across electricity procurement (tranches, hedging, spot and intraday), on-site generation (PV, BHKW), battery storage, and flexibility marketing. A co-optimization layer (Stufe 5 / 'Ganzheitliche Fahrplanoptimierung') treats all assets — including heat, cooling, EV charging, and controllable loads — as a single optimization problem against all markets and on-site consumption. 'visions Agentic AI' is the conversational interface allowing customers to query savings potential and strategies in natural language. The platform connects to industrial equipment and ERP systems via open REST, MQTT, Modbus, EEBUS, and OCPP interfaces and is hosted in Germany under ISO-27001-aligned processes.
Revenue is generated under a 100 percent performance-based model: Olmatic is paid only when its optimization beats a pre-agreed customer benchmark, with minimum 36-month contracts (with bilateral termination if the benchmark is not maintained). Delivery is structured as a five-stage maturity model — from a free foundational 'Transparenz & Strategie' analysis (Stufe 1) through progressively monetized modules for structured procurement, own-generation and PPAs, flexibility/ BESS, and holistic schedule optimization. Named enterprise customers include Rheinmetall, Volkswagen, Fraport, voestalpine, EnBW, Encavis, Trelleborg, HOMAG, Schmalz, Globus, Autajon, GODELNMANN, and Raiffeisen-Warengenossenschaft. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with white-label partner channels for energy utilities and renewable park operators; the company reports 120+ industrial sites on platform, 1.2 TWh optimized annually, 380+ completed free analyses, and 5–15 percent (averaging 26 percent in year one) outperformance versus benchmark.

Revenue model
- Performance-based Outperformance Fee: 100% performance-based compensation model. Olmatic only earns when clients demonstrably perform below their defined benchmark. If no outperformance is achieved, clients pay nothing. Vergütung is tied to measured outperformance against pre-defined market benchmark. Minimum 36-month contract with bilateral termination rights if benchmark is not maintained.
- Module-based Managed Services: Stufe 1 (Transparency & Strategy) is free. Stufen 2-5 are paid modules with performance-based fees. Modules can be booked monthly, individually, or as a complete system. One-time onboarding fee is transparent and typically amortizes within two months.

Olmatic product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Olmatic provides a cloud-based AI energy optimization platform called "visions" combined with a five-stage consulting maturity model for industrial companies with 2+ GWh annual consumption. The platform continuously optimizes electricity procurement, on-site generation (PV, BHKW, wind PPAs), battery storage dispatch, and flexibility marketing in real time, delivered on a 100% performance-based fee model. A free initial energy analysis (Energieanalyse) and conversational Agentic AI assistant serve as the entry point, with paid modules covering structured procurement, own generation & PPAs, flexibility, and holistic co-optimization.
Product overview
Olmatic offers visions — a cloud-based AI energy platform for industrial companies consuming 2+ GWh annually — complemented by a structured five-stage energy consulting maturity model. The platform integrates real-time AI-driven energy procurement optimization, own-generation management (PV, BHKW, PPA), battery storage and flexibility marketing, and holistic asset schedule optimization. The maturity model progresses through five freely combinable modules: Stufe 1 (Transparenz & Strategie — free foundational analysis), Stufe 2 (Strukturierter Einkauf — structured procurement with performance risk), Stufe 3 (Eigenerzeugung & PPAs — own-generation and power purchase agreements), Stufe 4 (Flexibilität — battery storage and demand response), and Stufe 5 (Ganzheitliche Fahrplanoptimierung — cross-asset Co-Optimization forming a Virtual Power Plant). The free Energieanalyse serves as the entry point and pre-stage to Stufe 1. visions Agentic AI is the conversational AI assistant embedded within the platform. Olmatic operates on a purely performance-based pricing model — payment is triggered only when measurable outperformance against a defined benchmark is achieved.
