What Centric Energy Systems does

Centric Energy Systems is a privately held systems integrator founded in 2001 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, that builds custom SCADA-based energy monitoring software for U.S. customers in manufacturing, education, government, mining, cold storage, and other industrial sectors. Named enterprise and institutional accounts include Caterpillar, Arcelor Mittal, Northwestern University, the U.S. Forest Service, Americold, Wheaton College, Jipangu, and ZGF Architects.

The company's modular platform is anchored on four core products: a Data Collection Module that brings non-networked meters onto the network; a SCADA-based Data Collection & Visualization system; a SQL-backed Data Historian for long-term storage and automatic backfill; and a server-based Advanced Analysis package for preconfigured energy performance metrics, drill-down graphs, and dashboards. Six add-on modules — System Monitoring, Energy Consumption, Demand Monitoring, Energy Budgeting, Predictive Demand, and Consumption/Demand Control — extend the platform with rules-based forecasting that intentionally mirrors utility demand calculations, along with equipment-level monitoring and control. Architecturally, Centric differentiates by applying its software to customers' existing energy metering and SCADA infrastructure rather than prescribing new hardware, which produces deeply customized, site-specific deployments.

Commercially, Centric runs a direct enterprise field sales motion with nationwide coverage and a quoted-pricing, customer-by-customer engagement model. Revenue comes from two streams labeled as subscription/recurring (energy monitoring systems and software) and managed services (telephone, internet, and on-site support and maintenance, plus software upgrades). The company offers a low-cost pilot program and free consultation to lower adoption barriers, encourages customers to start with a single facility before scaling, and was named one of the '10 Most Promising Energy Tech Solution Providers in 2019' by CIO Review Magazine. With reported headcount of 1-10 employees, the business operates as a specialized boutique integrator rather than a scaling software vendor, and no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed in the data.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Offers Desigo CC and Navigator energy/building management platforms with SCADA integration. Directly competes with Centric in industrial and campus energy monitoring as part of a broader automation portfolio.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Global industrial-IoT and energy-management incumbent. EcoStruxure includes submetering, SCADA, and building analytics suites that broadly overlap Centric's capabilities as part of a much larger portfolio.
• Johnson Controls (OpenBlue): Building automation incumbent with OpenBlue Enterprise Manager for energy and sustainability analytics. Targets the same large-facility customers Centric serves, but with a much broader product suite.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Incumbent BMS and energy analytics vendor (Honeywell Forge) serving enterprise campuses. Competes with Centric for the same campus-wide and multi-utility monitoring deals at larger scale.

Direct peers

• GridPoint: Provides building energy management and submetering with real-time monitoring, fault detection, and demand management — a directly comparable platform to Centric's SCADA-based offering for commercial and industrial customers.
• eSight Energy: Specialist energy management software for multi-site enterprises offering dashboards, benchmarking, and M&V. Competes with Centric in the same niche of custom, multi-utility facility monitoring.
• Lucid (BuildingOS): Building analytics platform aggregating utility, meter, and operational data into dashboards and reports. Comparable to Centric's Data Historian and Advanced Analysis stack for multi-building enterprises.
