Sysdex

What Sysdex does

Sysdex AG is a Swiss energy data logistics specialist founded in 2006 and headquartered in Dübendorf, Switzerland. The company delivers managed services and SaaS solutions to small and medium-sized energy utilities (EVU) and distribution network operators (VNB) primarily in German-speaking Switzerland, covering electricity, gas, water, and heat. Its service scope spans smart metering (iMS), metering data management (MDM), energy data management (EDM), time-series processing (ZRM), end-customer self-service portals, and algorithmic energy forecasting for sales, scheduling, and portfolio management. Sysdex positions itself as an independent intermediary—neither energy producer nor supplier—operated "by utilities, for utilities," serving regulated entities that need outsourced market communication, unbundling compliance, and StromVG-conform data handling.

Sysdex's technology stack wraps best-in-class third-party platforms: Kisters BelVis for EDM, Landis+Gyr's iMS Headend System for smart-metering operations (with a major V17 upgrade planned), and innosolv AG's Zeitreihenmodul (ZRM) for time-series functionality. These are operated from Sysdex's own in-house IT infrastructure on a 24/7 multi-tenant basis, with all data hosted in Switzerland and no third-country subprocessors. The company is ISO 27001 certified, signaling compliance posture relevant to regulated utility buyers. A dedicated customer-portal product layer and configurable forecasting modules sit on top of the platform, integrated with utility ERP and supplier-switching (Lieferantenwechsel) workflows.

Sysdex operates under a managed-services and SaaS revenue model with bespoke B2B contracts: full-service engagements covering end-to-end operations and readiness-service (backup) contracts for utilities that retain in-house ownership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated. The company is privately held (AG) and the input data does not disclose headcount, revenue, customers, or ownership details. Recent strategic activity has focused on extending the service catalogue—ZRM-Betreuung (2025-07), EVG/ZEV/LEG energy-community billing, and the HES V17 upgrade (2026-06)—rather than on geographic or M&A expansion.
