What SilentSoft does
SilentSoft is a privately held Swiss IoT telemetry company founded in 2000 at EPFL by Jean-Luc Mossier and Fabio Cesa, headquartered in Morges, Vaud. The company builds and operates a remote monitoring platform for physical tanks (heating oil, LPG, diesel, lubricants, waste oil) and utility meters (electricity, water, heat), marketed under the StockView™ and IndexView™ service brands and delivered through the MySilentSoft® online platform. Its technology stack combines proprietary sensors (Sonic LeVL ultrasonic, Neevo and Netris2 pressure/Rochester probes, LoRa Sens'O Pulse counters, UnicoCoder water meter) with multi-network connectivity spanning 2G/3G/4G cellular, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, LTE Cat-M1, and NB-IoT, ingesting over 100,000 messages per day from a deployed base of 40,000+ sensors.
The business model blends three revenue streams: recurring IoT monitoring subscriptions on the MySilentSoft platform, one-time hardware sales of connected sensors and modems, and professional installation services delivered by a network of certified technicians. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company sells direct to end customers through a multilingual (English/French/German) sales team. Its target customer base spans seven verticals — property owners/managers, energy distributors, waste oil collectors, municipalities, industrial facilities, garages/workshops, and individual homeowners — giving it a deliberately diversified long-tail account profile within Switzerland.
Following more than two decades of pan-European activity across 15+ countries, in 2023 SilentSoft made a strategic decision to concentrate exclusively on the Swiss market. The company is founder-controlled with a registered capital of 6,008,131 CHF, has 11–50 employees, has not raised outside capital since a 2010 round, and is currently led by General Manager Guy Lanrezac. No third-party PE/VC backing is mentioned in the source material, and the company has no public listing.

SilentSoft product offering
Product offeringCore offering
SilentSoft provides IoT-based remote monitoring services for tanks and meters through its StockView™ (tank level monitoring for heating oil, LPG, diesel, lubricants, waste oil) and IndexView™ (consumption monitoring for electricity, water, heat meters) offerings, delivered via the MySilentSoft® online platform and an ecosystem of connected sensors. Customers subscribe to a managed telemetry service that bundles proprietary hardware, multi-network wireless connectivity, installation by certified technicians, real-time data analytics, and personalized threshold alarms.
Product overview
SilentSoft offers a smart ecosystem of IoT-based tank and meter monitoring solutions consisting of two core services: StockView™ for remote tank monitoring and IndexView™ for remote meter monitoring. Both services are powered by the MySilentSoft® online platform, which processes data from various connected sensors and displays real-time tank levels, meter consumptions, and configurable alarms. The company provides a range of proprietary sensors including ultrasonic sensors (Sonic LeVL), pressure sensors (Neevo, Netris2), and pulse counters (LoRa Sens'O Pulse), along with smart water meters (UnicoCoder), all communicating via multiple network technologies including LTE Cat-M1, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and Sigfox.

SilentSoft competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Itron: Global leader in smart metering (electricity, water, gas) and utility IoT platforms, serving utilities and municipalities — overlapping with SilentSoft's IndexView smart metering focus but at vastly broader scale and capability.
- Endress+Hauser: Swiss-headquartered global leader in industrial level, flow and tank measurement instrumentation. Comparable in geographic roots and in level-measurement technology for tanks, though with a much broader process-industry focus than SilentSoft.
- Kamstrup: Danish smart metering specialist covering heat, water, electricity and gas with its own AMI platform — directly overlaps SilentSoft's IndexView submetering scope, particularly for European district heating and water utilities.
- Diehl Metering: German smart metering group producing heat, water, electricity and gas meters plus AMR/AMI infrastructure — competes with SilentSoft in building-level submetering and consumption analytics across the DACH market.
Direct peers
- Adeunis: French IoT sensor manufacturer offering LPWA (LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT) devices for smart metering and remote tank/fluid monitoring. Comparable in scale, network-agnostic connectivity approach, and reliance on recurring platform/data revenue to SilentSoft.
- Veeder-Root: US-based (Gilbarco Veeder-Root) provider of tank gauging and fuel management systems for petroleum tanks — direct overlap with SilentSoft's StockView for heating oil, diesel and lubricant remote level monitoring.
- ScanReach: Norwegian wireless condition and tank monitoring specialist using proprietary IoT sensors and a cloud platform — closely comparable to SilentSoft's StockView-style remote tank level and consumption monitoring on a subscription platform model.
Emerging players
- Actility: French LoRaWAN network server and IoT platform provider enabling third-party sensor deployments at scale — overlapping with SilentSoft's LPWA connectivity layer and competing for IoT platform mindshare among utilities and industrial customers.
Others
- Kerlink: French LoRaWAN gateway and network infrastructure supplier — not a direct competitor to SilentSoft's monitoring applications but adjacent, since LoRaWAN is one of the connectivity options SilentSoft markets for its sensors.
- Pepperl+Fuchs: German industrial sensor manufacturer with strong presence in level detection and explosion-proof sensors — adjacent to SilentSoft at the device layer and relevant comparator for any expansion into industrial tank instrumentation.
