ENIT Energy IT Systems GmbH

What ENIT Energy IT Systems GmbH does

ENIT Energy IT Systems GmbH, operating as the "Enit" brand under Böhme & Weihs GmbH (a Proalpha Group company), develops and sells a combined hardware-software energy and carbon management platform for industrial customers. Founded in 2014 in Freiburg, Germany, as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE), the company targets small, medium, and large industrial manufacturers — primarily German Mittelstand firms — seeking to monitor energy consumption, reduce peak loads, comply with EU sustainability regulations (CSRD, VSME, CBAM, ISO 50001), and produce GHG Protocol-compliant carbon footprints.

The core technology consists of the Enit Agent (a Modbus TCP hardware data logger capturing instantaneous values every 15 seconds and consumption values every 5 minutes for electricity, gas, water, heat, and compressed air) feeding the Enit hub cloud platform. The hub delivers modular capabilities including measurement concept planning, real-time energy monitoring with alarm functionality, dynamic load management for battery storage, EV charging, and PV systems, and the Enit carbon suite for Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), transformation planning, and VSME reporting. The platform supports reporting under CSRD, VSME, CDP, SBTi, and EcoVadis frameworks, and leverages open interfaces to integrate with existing metering infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) recurring SaaS subscriptions priced by monthly energy consumption (buy or lease options), (2) hardware sales/leases of the Enit Agent, and (3) professional services for measurement concept creation, implementation, and ongoing support. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with regional Area Sales Managers covering Northern and Southern Germany, supported by in-house project engineers and a self-serve demo of the Enit hub. Free 30-45 minute webinars, a knowledge base, and event participation serve as primary demand-generation channels. As of November 20, 2025, Böhme & Weihs GmbH became the universal legal successor of Enit Energy IT Systems GmbH, consolidating the asset under the Proalpha Group corporate umbrella.
