What Fentrica does

Fentrica OÜ is an Estonian private limited company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tallinn, with commercial register code 14685154. The company operates an AI-powered, all-in-one building operations platform that combines edge hardware controllers — baseMINI (compact DIN-rail), baseSAFE (intrusion alarm and security), and baseVIRTUAL (Docker-based software) — with the Fentrica Cloud to deliver maintenance management, BMS and sensor integration, access control, metering, tenant self-service, and AI-driven energy optimization. The platform integrates with 1,000+ building systems via Modbus, BACnet, KNX, MQTT, LoRaWAN, M-Bus, REST, and oBIX protocols, and exposes developer SDKs (@larva.io/clouddevice, @larva.io/webcomponents) for white-label tenant applications.

Fentrica serves property and facility managers of real estate portfolios across Europe — including commercial real estate (Eften, Kaamos), residential/built-to-rent operators (Rare Apartments, Eften Living), smart storage operators (Everaus, StoreSafe), hospitality (Hektor Design Hostels), and telecommunications infrastructure operators (Telia) — covering Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. AI features include Smart Alarms for anomaly detection, AI Cloud Meters for virtual metering and peak shaving, and AI Schedules/Energy Optimizer that tunes HVAC and lighting against occupancy, weather, and tariff signals.

The business model is a modular SaaS subscription priced per building and per module, with monthly billing, modular expansion from a base maintenance module into access automation, metering, energy monitoring, and tenant self-service. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a 'Book a Demo' CTA and tailored quotes; enterprise plans include a dedicated account manager and SLA-backed response. The company is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and GDPR-compliant, holds 1-10 employees per disclosed scale, and reports 104+ connected buildings and 17+ years of combined team experience in building automation. No external funding rounds have been disclosed.

Core offering

Fentrica provides an AI-powered, all-in-one building operations platform combining edge hardware controllers (baseMINI, baseSAFE, baseVIRTUAL) with a cloud platform for maintenance management, BMS/sensor integration, metering, access control, tenant self-service, and energy optimization. The platform connects to 1,000+ building systems via protocols including Modbus, BACnet, KNX, MQTT, LoRaWAN, M-Bus, REST API, and oBIX, enabling property and facility managers to automate workflows, monitor building systems, and manage portfolios from a single dashboard.

Product overview

Fentrica is an AI-powered, all-in-one building and energy management platform built around three layers: (1) edge controllers (baseMINI, baseSAFE, and baseVIRTUAL) that bridge on-site building systems to the cloud, (2) the Fentrica Cloud / Platform providing maintenance management, BMS integration, metering, access control, tenant self-service, and portfolio-wide visibility, and (3) developer tools (@larva.io/clouddevice and @larva.io/webcomponents) for white-label integrations. The platform's AI capabilities include Energy Optimizer/AI Schedules for HVAC/lighting optimization, Smart Alarms for anomaly detection, AI Cloud Meters for virtual metering and peak shaving, and Fentrica Expression Language (FEXL) for custom automation. Smart Spaces organize physical areas with access control and cloud-synchronized user management. The platform automates workflows including tenant onboarding, maintenance requests, and access provisioning via the Fentrica Operations Engine.
