What Synegy does

SYNEGY (legal entity Industrial Controls Solutions LLC, dba SYNEGY) is a U.S.-based industrial controls and automation systems integrator headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Founded in 2011 by James Allen, a University of Oklahoma Electrical Engineering graduate, the company was rebranded from Industrial Controls Solutions to SYNEGY effective January 2019 to integrate acquired businesses and reflect its expanded SCADA capabilities. With 41 employees, SYNEGY operates as a UL508A Certified Panel Shop delivering custom industrial control panels, PLC and HMI programming, variable frequency drives, hosted SCADA services, and proprietary products including the WELL-i-Know (WiK) integrated pump-off controller for beam pumps and the Lift Station Manager (LSM) for wastewater lift stations.

The company serves upstream and midstream Oil & Gas, Water & Wastewater Treatment, HVAC, Aggregate & Mining, and Car Wash customers, with primary verticals being Oil & Gas and Water & Wastewater. Its technology stack spans Schneider Electric (Square D), Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation, ABB, Toshiba, WEG, LS, IDEC, and Pro-face platforms, with integration into Theta, Cygnet, Emerson ZEDI, Johnson Controls Metasys, and LonWorks environments. Notable technical components include the WELL-i-Know system's 10-inch Dynacard display with 90-day local storage, VFDs up to 2000hp for midstream applications, and a hosted SCADA platform for rural municipal water/wastewater monitoring.

SYNEGY generates revenue through a mix of one-time custom panel builds and project-based engineering services, subscription-based hosted SCADA per site, retainer-based instrumentation technician subscriptions, and OEM/contract manufacturing of automation equipment for HVAC and Oil & Gas partners. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales led by founder James Allen, quote-based, and concentrated domestically in Oklahoma and surrounding markets. The company is privately held as an LLC with no institutional investors or external funding disclosed.

• RoviSys: Independent systems integrator specializing in process control, SCADA, MES, and industrial automation across manufacturing, Oil & Gas, and utilities. Comparable to SYNEGY in providing turnkey PLC/HMI/SCADA solutions and panel fabrication for industrial end users.
• Hargrove Controls & Automation: Independent industrial controls and automation systems integrator with multi-vendor platform expertise (Rockwell, Schneider, Emerson) serving Oil & Gas, water/wastewater, and process industries. Directly comparable in business model and customer base to SYNEGY, but at significantly larger scale.
• Matrix Technologies: Industrial automation and process control integrator with control panel fabrication capabilities, serving similar mid-market industrial customers in process industries. Comparable services including UL508A panel building, PLC programming, and SCADA.
• Maverick Technologies (now part of Rockwell Automation): Major independent systems integrator with deep Rockwell/Allen-Bradley expertise, serving process and manufacturing clients including Oil & Gas and water/wastewater. Acquired by Rockwell, illustrating the OEM-disintermediation risk SYNEGY faces.
• Wunderlich-Malec Engineering: Independent systems integrator and UL-listed control panel builder with expertise in PLC, HMI, SCADA, and VFD integration for power, water, and process industries. Closely comparable peer in business model and end-market mix.

Broad incumbents

• Rockwell Automation: Dominant industrial automation OEM whose Allen-Bradley/ControlLogix/CompactLogix/PowerFlex platforms SYNEGY integrates. Operates its own Lifecycle Services and recently acquired Maverick Technologies, posing direct disintermediation risk to independent integrators.
• Emerson Automation Solutions: Industrial automation and SCADA vendor whose ROC800, ZEDI, and control panel products are integrated by SYNEGY for Oil & Gas customers. Competes both as a product supplier and via its own services organization in Oil & Gas.
• Schneider Electric: Major automation OEM whose Square D, Modicon, and Altivar products SYNEGY specializes in. Operates EcoStruxure platform and its own system integrator network, making Schneider both a partner and a competitive threat.

Emerging players

• Red Lion Controls (Spectris): Provider of industrial automation and networking products including HMI panels, RTUs, and SCADA connectivity solutions used in water/wastewater and Oil & Gas. Overlaps with SYNEGY's hosted SCADA and remote monitoring offerings.
