VIVAVIS Schweiz AG

What VIVAVIS Schweiz AG does

VIVAVIS Schweiz AG is the Swiss operating subsidiary of Germany's privately held VIVAVIS AG, headquartered in Baden-Dättwil, Canton of Aargau. Formed in 2020 through the merger of IDS Schweiz AG, GÖRLITZ Schweiz AG, and TURAS AG, the company provides integrated software and hardware solutions for the digitalization of energy and water utility infrastructure, serving Swiss distribution network operators (Verteilnetzbetreiber) responsible for electricity, gas, water, and heating networks. Its core proposition addresses transparency and control at low-voltage grid level (Niederspannung, grid level 7), where traditional SCADA and ripple control systems are incapable of managing the load complexity introduced by distributed photovoltaic generation, electromobility, and heat pumps.

The company's product portfolio is built on a proprietary, in-house developed stack. The Smart Grid Operation Platform (SGOP) is the flagship, providing real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of low-voltage networks, with SGOP.Light extending the offering to smaller utilities. The HIGH-LEIT network control system delivers SCADA functionality for medium- and high-voltage energy and water networks. Hardware is anchored by the ACOS 7-Serie (automation and telecontrol), ACOS 750 SAS (station automation), and ACOS 300 (protection devices), complemented by the IDSpecto.DAYOS metering platform and METER&CONTROL smart meters. Additional offerings include the m8mit e-mobility platform for EV charging load management, Smart Grid Ready cabinet systems, and Operational Technology services including OT security bulletins.

VIVAVIS Schweiz AG operates a direct enterprise sales model targeting Swiss utility decision-makers, supported by owned industry events (Forum Niederspannungsleitsystem SGOP), trade show participation (Powertage), webinars (VIVAVIS TALKS), and the VIVAVIS ACADEMY training program. Revenue is generated through a combination of software licenses and platforms (perpetual or subscription), hardware sales, and professional services including assessments, maintenance, and training. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with general terms aligned to Swissmem standards. The company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary within a broader DACH-region corporate group that includes entities in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Turkey, and the UAE.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens offers Spectrum Power and Gridscale X ADMS/SCADA platforms for distribution utilities, including DERMS, substation automation, and grid software. It competes with VIVAVIS across the entire SCADA-to-DERMS stack and is the most likely Tier-1 alternative in Swiss utility RFPs.
• Sagemcom: Sagemcom provides smart metering, energy management, and grid solutions for European utilities. It competes with VIVAVIS in smart meters and in metering head-end platforms, particularly for distribution network operators.
• Landis+Gyr: Landis+Gyr is a global leader in smart metering and grid edge intelligence, headquartered in Switzerland. Its metering and grid management solutions overlap with METER&CONTROL, IDSpecto.DAYOS, and SGOP, making it a directly relevant peer in the Swiss market.
• GE Vernova GridOS: GE Vernova's GridOS portfolio includes ADMS, DERMS, and grid analytics for distribution utilities. It competes with VIVAVIS's SGOP and HIGH-LEIT in distribution orchestration and is a meaningful Tier-1 alternative for European utilities.
• Schneider Electric EcoStruxure ADMS: Schneider's EcoStruxure ADMS combines SCADA, DMS, OMS, and DERMS on a single platform. It competes head-to-head with VIVAVIS in distribution automation and grid management and is a frequent default for utilities undergoing large-scale modernization.
• ABB Ability Network Manager: ABB's Network Manager is a leading ADMS for transmission and distribution operators globally. It directly competes with HIGH-LEIT in SCADA functionality and with SGOP in DER orchestration, and is widely deployed across European utilities.

Emerging players

• EnergyHub: EnergyHub provides a DERMS platform for utilities to manage residential DERs, EVs, and smart thermostats. It overlaps with VIVAVIS's SGOP and m8mit offerings in distributed energy orchestration, representing a cloud-native emerging competitor in the same utility buyer base.

Direct peers

• PSI Software AG: PSI provides control system software (PSIcontrol) for energy, gas, and water networks, including SCADA, network control, and grid management. It is one of the closest direct competitors to HIGH-LEIT in the DACH region and is frequently bid against VIVAVIS for utility tenders.
• KISTERS AG: KISTERS provides energy data management, forecasting, and SCADA software for European utilities. It is a relevant direct peer for VIVAVIS's metering platform, dashboard analytics, and grid management offerings, especially in DACH.
• Robotron Datenbank-Software: Robotron offers SCADA, energy data management, and smart-metering software for utilities across Germany and adjacent markets. It is comparable to VIVAVIS in serving distribution network operators with a vertically integrated software and metering portfolio.
