Avani Solutions

What Avani Solutions does

Avani Solutions is a Sydney-headquartered software company operating in the intelligent building performance sector, originally founded in 2004 as Intelligent Building Management Systems (IBMS) and rebranded in 2022 following investment from EGx, the venture capital arm of EG Funds. The company provides a cloud-based, centrally orchestrated platform that integrates data from legacy building management systems, sensors, sub-meters, HVAC, lighting, and operational business systems (CMMS, billing, scheduling) into a unified data layer. Its portfolio includes the Avani Platform, the Avani Site Connector hardware device, the Integrated Services Platform (ISP) for complex multi-system environments, an automated Tenant Billing module, and the Avani Connect application launched in 2026 as the unified user-facing ecosystem. The platform delivers real-time data capture (every 5-10 minutes), analytics, portfolio-wide automation, AI-driven anomaly detection, and tenant billing for embedded networks.

Avani serves enterprise customers primarily across Australia and New Zealand, including major commercial property owners (Brookfield Properties, Charter Hall, ISPT, Mirvac, JLL), retail chains (HOYTS, ALDI), healthcare (North Metropolitan Health Services), education (Curtin University), transport infrastructure (Sydney Airport), and conservation (Taronga Zoo). Documented customer outcomes include 11% energy reduction at HOYTS, 30% labour cost reduction at Brookfield, and a billing process compressed from 10 days to 5 minutes at NMHS. The company employs 29 staff across Sydney and Perth offices and is privately held with EGx as the institutional investor.

The revenue model is anchored on enterprise SaaS subscriptions for data integration, analytics, and automation, supplemented by tenant billing services for embedded energy networks and professional services for Integrated Services Platform deployments. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with bespoke deployment cycles initiated via "Book a Meeting" consultations. The sales strategy targets large commercial portfolios, retail chains, healthcare systems, and educational institutions rather than SMB or long-tail segments.
