Florawise

What Florawise does

Florawise is an Istanbul-headquartered technology company that builds an AI-powered HVAC optimization platform for commercial buildings. The system combines the Niagara Framework-based IoT platform with a proprietary Modular hardware line (Max controller, Sense air quality monitor, Energy Analyzer X12/X4, IR Blaster, Connect, Thermostatic Valve, Thermostat Mini) and a central AI layer called Flora AI that runs per-site autonomous agents using deep learning, cloud computing, and large language models to continuously optimize heating, cooling, ventilation, refrigeration, and lighting without requiring sensor or equipment retrofits.

The company's go-to-market targets commercial building owners and managers across retail chains, banking branch networks, hospitality, healthcare, education, offices, public facilities, and sports venues. Florawise generates revenue through three streams: subscription-based AI HVAC optimization software, sale of proprietary Modular hardware devices, and revenue generated via a global partner network of OEMs, strategic partners, and master systems integrators. Direct enterprise sales and partner channels are used in parallel; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Documented deployments include 700+ CarrefourSA stores (20% energy savings, 40 million kWh annually), 180+ TEKNOSA stores (19% savings, 5.8 million kWh over three years), 100+ Starbucks stores (23% savings), and 500+ Halkbank branches (projected 22% savings). The company claims more than 5,000,000 square meters of commercial building space under management and references 4,000 paying customers through its partner ecosystem, though primary public visibility remains concentrated in Turkey across retail and financial-services verticals.

Core offering

Florawise provides an AI-powered IoT energy analytics platform (Flora AI / Niagara-powered IoT platform) that autonomously optimizes HVAC energy consumption and decarbonizes commercial buildings without requiring new sensors or major retrofits. The offering combines a subscription-based AI optimization software (Flora AI / Holistic Engine) with proprietary Modular hardware devices (Modular Max controller, energy analyzers, IR blasters, thermostats, and air quality sensors) deployed across customer sites. The system integrates with diverse HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and meter systems via the Niagara Framework and LoRaWAN connectivity.

Product overview

Florawise offers an AI-powered IoT energy analytics platform for sustainable building management. The portfolio consists of Flora AI (the core AI brain) working in conjunction with the Niagara-Powered IoT Platform and Modular hardware devices. The Modular product line includes Modular Max (central controller/gateway), Modular Energy Analyzer X12 and X4 (energy monitoring), Modular Sense (air quality), Modular IR Blaster (HVAC control), Modular Connect, Modular Thermostatic Valve, and Modular Thermostat Mini. The Holistic Engine serves as the central data aggregation and optimization layer. The system supports multiple HVAC types including VRF/VRV, AHU, Fancoil, WSHP, Rooftop Units, Split AC, Chillers, and Boiler systems.
