Navitas Consilium

What Navitas Consilium does

Navitas Consilium SA (NCSA / Navitas) is a private Swiss software and consulting firm founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the CREM research center (Centre de Recherche de l'Énergie et du Milieu). The company develops and licenses the PlanETer software suite — a modular, GIS-based territorial energy-planning platform — alongside energy and climate planning consulting services. PlanETer, the core product, processes multiple data sources at building and parcel scale for energy-balance calculation, scenario simulation, and energy-CO2 conversion across heat, electricity, mobility, and water themes; it is complemented by the PlanETer Dashboard (interactive KPI monitoring for energy-climate strategies) and PlanETer Online (a public-facing cartographic platform for citizen engagement and financial-aid information dissemination). Together, these three products form an integrated stack that covers calculate, simulate, track, analyze, and disseminate functions for territorial energy-climate strategy.

The firm operates exclusively in Switzerland, targeting Swiss municipalities, cantonal authorities, energy suppliers, engineering firms, and large private energy consumers. Its go-to-market is consultative and project-based, combining software licensing with professional services such as energy master plans, climate plans, infrastructure studies, implementation-measure design, and public-lighting planning. The most striking scale signal is the Objectif Zéro Carbone initiative, through which NCSA has published interactive maps covering the building stock of all 2,147 Swiss municipalities — establishing a national-level standardized and comparable dataset that simultaneously functions as a market-development asset. Headcount is small (1–10 employees), operations are split between Martigny (headquarters, Rue Marconi 19) and Lausanne (Avenue de France 18C), and the company has been profitable since inception with profits reinvested into proprietary tool development rather than external funding.

Navitas Consilium is led by co-founders Gabriel Ruiz (CEO) and Mathias Cudilleiro (CTO), with Alexandre Graf serving as Président. The firm's intellectual capital is anchored in a longstanding co-development relationship with CREM supplemented by academic collaboration with HES-SO Valais-Wallis, including the MAPEC public-lighting analysis project. Foundational financial and ecosystem support was provided at spin-off by TheArk Foundation and the Centre de Cautionnement et de financement (CCF) du Valais.

Core offering

Navitas Consilium develops and sells the PlanETer software suite — a modular, GIS-based platform for territorial energy data structuring, energy balance calculation, and scenario planning at the building and parcel scale. The suite comprises PlanETer (core data structuring and simulation), PlanETer Dashboard (interactive KPI monitoring), and PlanETer Online (citizen-facing cartographic portal). Alongside the software, the firm provides professional consulting services in territorial energy planning, climate plans, infrastructure studies, and public lighting planning.

Product overview

Navitas Consilium offers a modular software platform for calculating, simulating, tracking, analyzing, and disseminating energy-climate strategy elements. The portfolio consists of three integrated products: PlanETer serves as the core territorial energy data structuring and scenario-planning tool, which was the original flagship product from which the company was founded in 2013. PlanETer Dashboard extends the platform with an interactive monitoring dashboard for key performance indicators and measure tracking. PlanETer Online provides a public-facing cartographic portal for citizen engagement and awareness. Together, these products serve territorial energy and climate planning needs.

Broad incumbents

• Carbon Trust: Carbon Trust is a global climate consulting and advisory organization helping businesses and governments measure and reduce carbon emissions. Comparable to NCSA's consulting services arm, but operating at greater scale across multiple geographies and industries.
• Esri: Esri is the dominant GIS platform provider whose ArcGIS technology underpins much of the spatial analysis used in tools like PlanETer. Esri could compete directly with NCSA by offering pre-built energy-climate planning extensions or partnering with consulting firms to displace boutique providers.
• Sphera: Sphera provides enterprise ESG, sustainability, and operational risk management software. Its broader portfolio includes carbon accounting and ESG reporting capabilities that overlap with NCSA's offerings, but it targets large multinational corporations rather than public-sector clients.

Regional players

• Planair: Planair is a Swiss engineering and environmental consulting firm that provides energy planning, climate strategy, and sustainability services to Swiss municipalities and companies. Closest Swiss-headquartered competitor in the municipal energy-climate consulting space, operating in the same geography with overlapping services.
• e-thema: e-thema is a German energy consulting and software firm specializing in municipal and regional energy planning, district heating analysis, and climate strategy. Similar service portfolio to NCSA but serving the German-speaking DACH market rather than Switzerland specifically.

Direct peers

• Plan A: Plan A provides a carbon accounting and decarbonization SaaS platform for enterprises, with features for emissions measurement, reduction planning, and reporting. Overlaps with NCSA's scenario-planning and monitoring capabilities but focused on corporate rather than municipal use cases.
• Persefoni: Persefoni offers a climate management and accounting platform for enterprises, enabling them to measure and manage carbon footprints across operations. Similar to NCSA in providing software tools for emissions measurement, although Persefoni targets corporate finance and sustainability teams rather than public-sector planners.
• Sweep: Sweep provides a carbon accounting and emissions management SaaS platform used by enterprises to measure, reduce, and report on their carbon footprint. While Sweep focuses on enterprise customers and NCSA focuses on municipalities, both offer climate data platforms with similar architectural patterns for emissions tracking and scenario planning.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise climate data platform that helps companies measure, report, and reduce emissions. Comparable to NCSA in offering a software-driven approach to climate accounting and reduction planning, but focused on corporate rather than municipal customers.

Others

• Sia Partners: Sia Partners is a global management consulting firm with a substantial energy and climate practice. Provides energy-climate strategy consulting to municipalities and utilities, overlapping with NCSA's professional services but without a proprietary software product.
