Alfred Smart

What Alfred Smart does

Alfred Smart Systems S.L., operating as Alfred Smart, is a Barcelona-based (Spain) IoT smart building technology vendor founded in 2018 and operating as a subsidiary of Spanish conglomerate Grupo Amper. The company sells a cloud-connected, multi-protocol platform (Zigbee, Z-Wave, KNX, Wi-Fi, Modbus, LoRa) anchored on a central Gateway and exposed through two surfaces: the Assets Manager professional portal for property managers, hoteliers and technicians, and the Alfred Smart App for end users. Around this core, the company has built a modular product suite (Eco, Clima, Lights, Cover, Lock, Metrics, Spaces, Support, Docs, Comms), packaged into four vertical sub-brands (Alfred Home, Alfred Residential/Build-to-Rent, Alfred Office, Alfred Hotel). Its flagship proprietary hardware is the TruePresence detector, a PIR-less presence sensor designed for hospitality, paired with the ECO Algorithm that automates HVAC and lighting shutdowns. Integrated compatibility with approximately 90% of existing building systems (Schneider Electric, Siemens, SAUTER, SALTO, TESA, DAHUA, KNX, DALI, Airzone, Intesis) is a core technical differentiator.

The business operates on three revenue streams: recurring SaaS subscriptions for the Assets Manager platform, one-time hardware sales (gateways, sensors, smart locks, thermostats, meters), and professional services for installation, configuration and ongoing maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and sold through enterprise field sales (free assessment, pilot program, phased rollout), with subscription billing typically on an annual cadence. Active installations span 1,200+ buildings and 40 million m² across Spain, Portugal, France and Italy, serving Build-to-Rent operators, corporate real estate, hospitality (Hotel Tembo Barcelona), and select smart-home deployments. Reference customers include LAVIDDA (Antares I Sevilla), Vila Bonaplata, Mutualidad de la Abogacía, Bialto/DWS (Casa Dumont), Núñez i Navarro, Silicius and Glòries HUB, with documented outcomes of 20-30% energy savings (up to 60% in 24/7 HVAC spaces), 30% energy and 53% CO2 reduction at Vila Bonaplata, 7% asset revaluation and 5% rental uplift at the SmartScore Gold certified Mutualidad building, and ROI under 1.5 years at Antares I.

The company is an official BREEAM partner (2,500+ certified homes) and supports LEED, SmartScore and WELL certifications, positioning it to monetize tightening EU ESG and EPBD energy-disclosure mandates for real estate. It is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Reported leadership consists of CEO Manuel Berja; no additional management team data is available.
