What ecocoach does

ecocoach AG is a Swiss energy technology company headquartered in Brunnen, canton Schwyz, that develops and sells an integrated energy management, EV charging management, and stationary battery storage portfolio for residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal customers across the DACH region. The company's three core products — the ecoEnergyCoach energy management system (EMS), the ecoChargingCoach charging management platform, and the modular ecoBatterySystem (lithium-ion storage from 26 to 390 kWh) — can be deployed independently or as a fully integrated solution, and are supplemented by the ecoSetupTool installer commissioning software, the ecoOneClick utility billing module, and the ecoIO extension module for building automation.

The underlying technology stack combines Beckhoff PC-based automation hardware with a cloud platform hosted on Microsoft Azure West Europe, built on a .NET backend, Vue3 frontend, and a CQRS-based microservices architecture (28 services) using InfluxDB and MQTT/SignalR/REST interfaces. The platform carries CE, IEC 62477-1, IEC 62619, VDE-AR-N 4105, and VDE-AR-E 2510-50 certifications for the battery product, processes millions of events daily at >99.9% availability, and supports white-label deployment for hardware OEMs.

Commercially, ecocoach monetizes through a mix of hardware sales (battery storage), recurring SaaS subscriptions (energy and charging management), OEM/white-label licensing (to Weidmüller, Buderus, EC Power, e.battery systems, STABL Energy), and project-level professional services. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, certified installation partners across Switzerland and Germany, channel partners (notably Buderus/Bosch Thermotechnik across 54 branches in Germany and Luxembourg since 2023), and OEM channels. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the family-controlled ecoGroup Swiss AG conglomerate, has 51-100 employees, and operates German subsidiary ecocoach DE GmbH from Ingolstadt.

Core offering

ecocoach develops and sells an integrated suite of energy management, EV charging management, and stationary battery storage products for buildings and neighbourhoods. Core products include the ecoEnergyCoach energy management system (EMS), the ecoChargingCoach EV charging management system, and the ecoBatterySystem stationary lithium-ion storage, complemented by the ecoSetupTool installation software and a white-label OEM cloud platform. The company also provides professional integration and commissioning services for commercial, industrial, residential, and municipal customers primarily in the DACH region.

Product overview

ecocoach offers an integrated suite of energy management, EV charging management, and stationary battery storage products for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings. The portfolio consists of three core products — the ecoEnergyCoach energy management system (EMS), the ecoChargingCoach EV charging management system, and the ecoBatterySystem stationary lithium-ion battery storage — which can operate independently or as a fully integrated combined solution. The ecoEnergyCoach acts as the central coordination layer, managing energy flows from solar PV, CHP units, heat pumps, and building loads. The ecoChargingCoach handles dynamic allocation of EV charging power across multiple stations. The ecoBatterySystem provides both energy storage and an integrated inverter/EMS as a building energy centre. These core products are supplemented by ecoSetupTool (installation and commissioning software), ecoOneClick (utility cost billing), the ecoIO Module (building automation extension), and the ecoSystem OEM Platform (white-label cloud platform for hardware manufacturers). All products share a common cloud infrastructure and mobile app.
