Ökotec Energiemanagement

What Ökotec Energiemanagement does

Ökotec Energiemanagement GmbH is a Berlin-based German energy efficiency consulting firm and software vendor, founded in 1999 and operating as a subsidiary of Veolia. The company serves industrial manufacturers and commercial enterprises with an integrated offering that combines professional consulting services (energy analysis, decarbonization roadmaps, ISO 50001 energy management system implementation, climate management, energy efficiency network facilitation, and funding advisory) with its proprietary EnEffCo® energy efficiency controlling software platform. EnEffCo® is a registered trademark and core technology asset that has been on the market since 2013, deployed at over 100 production sites and 1,000+ commercial locations domestically and internationally, and is used by named enterprise customers including BMW, Daimler, Rockwool, Speira, Kerrygold, Bumüller Back, Almatis, Moll Marzipan, and DUO PLAST AG.

The EnEffCo® platform is structured as a modular suite covering energy monitoring (Energiemonitoring), flexibility management (Flexibilit\u00e4tsmanagement, including digital twin-based market-price plant control and e-vehicle charging control), energy performance indicators with statistical plant monitoring and semi-automated diagnosis (Energiekennzahlen), and connectivity (EnEffCo® Connect). The software's methodology draws on 20+ years of energy and process engineering experience accumulated across more than 2,000 industry and trade projects, with continuous R&D supported through BMWK/DBU-funded research collaborations with Fraunhofer institutes and RWTH Aachen. The most recent major release (EnEffCo® v4.0, December 2020) added Sankey visualization, heatmap charting, deep-link navigation, and approval workflows.

The business model combines subscription/recurring software licensing for EnEffCo® with project-based professional services revenue from consulting, network facilitation (50+ energy efficiency networks initiated/accompanied), and climate management engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a dedicated sales organization including a Head of Sales & Marketing, Account Managers, and Senior Account & Project Managers, supplemented by content marketing (webinars, whitepapers, annual EnEffCo® Akademie user conference), partnerships with industry associations (BVE, DENEFF, BNW), and active research collaborations. The company operates primarily in the DACH region and reports 101\u2013250 employees with three Managing Directors (Roland Berger, Olaf Kipp, Dr. Christoph Zschocke).
