What meonet GmbH does

meonet GmbH is a privately held Swiss software company founded in 2019 in St. Gallen, focused exclusively on digital transformation for Swiss energy utilities (Energieversorgungsunternehmen, EVUs). Its portfolio centers on two products: dispatcher, an open-source solution for automating and monitoring SDAT-CH market communication, metering data, and supplier switching processes, integrated with the Swisseldex Datahub; and ECM (energy customer management), a modular cloud platform covering energy procurement, sales, contract management, market communication, billing, and reporting. ECM is extended through a growing module family that includes ecm-hkn for origin certificate (Herkunftsnachweis) portfolio management, ecm-forecast for ML/DL-based long-term energy forecasting, a flexibility management module for coordinating controllable producers, storage and consumers, and a planned AI Customer Insights module for NLP-driven extraction of structured information from customer communications. The technology stack integrates industry standards (SDAT-CH, Swisseldex), business process tooling (Virtimo inubit BPM), and Microsoft Power Platform components (Power Automate, Power BI).

The business operates on a sales-led enterprise motion targeting Swiss EVUs, combining modular SaaS subscriptions (ECM and its add-on modules), open-source support and maintenance for dispatcher, and professional services for IT project management, custom software development, and process consulting.
