Energy & Sustainability

IoT platforms, solar marketplaces and municipal climate tools — open source, GDPR-compliant, built for continuous operation.

Municipalities, energy providers and infrastructure operators are under pressure to act.

The Wärmeplanungsgesetz requires large cities to submit municipal heat plans by 2026 and all other municipalities by 2028. The smart meter rollout demands new digital infrastructure from grid and metering operators. And municipal CO₂ accounting to BISKO standard is increasingly a prerequisite for funding and statutory reporting.

We build the digital platforms that implement these requirements in practice — for over ten years. Including the Klimaschutz-Planer for municipal CO₂ accounting (2,200+ municipalities) and the campaign platform STADTRADELN (1M+ active participants) — both for Klima-Bündnis Services GmbH.

Klimaschutz-Planer: used by over 2,200 municipalities.

The Klimaschutz-Planer is the central digital instrument for municipal energy and CO₂ accounting in Germany. Developed for Klima-Bündnis Services GmbH, in operation since 2014, used by over 2,200 municipalities across Germany.

The platform enables standardised CO₂ balances to BISKO standard, action planning and monitoring — for climate protection managers in municipal administrations who are often not IT specialists. Intuitive user guidance, scientifically validated calculation methods, regularly updated emission factors.

Open source. German servers. GDPR-compliant.

We build on open-source technology: Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Drupal, Nuxt/Vue.js, Flutter. No proprietary code, no licence fees. Hosting on German servers (Hetzner, AWS Frankfurt) — full GDPR compliance, no data transfer to third countries.

For municipalities and public sector clients this means: no hidden follow-up costs, free choice of maintenance and development partners, full data sovereignty.

What we build for the energy sector.

Municipal climate tools — CO₂ accounting, action planning, monitoring and reporting. Platforms that climate protection managers can operate independently — without developer dependency.

IoT platforms — Real-time sensor integration, event-driven microservices, cloud infrastructure. For infrastructure operators who need to reliably process and visualise field data.

Energy marketplaces — Multilingual portals for the European energy market. Drupal, Symfony, API integrations. Transaction-safe and scalable.

Campaign platforms — Web and app for climate campaigns with hundreds of thousands of participants. STADTRADELN: over 1 million active users, 3,000+ municipalities.

Why serious companies choose us.

15 years. 100+ projects. Award-winning work.

The people who pitch are the people who build.

No layers, no handoffs, no revolving door of faces. The developers and designers you meet at the start are the same ones shipping your product at the end.

We've been the client too.

We build our own software products. We know the frustration of missed deadlines and vague updates — so we built our process to be the agency we always wished existed.

15 years of pattern recognition.

We know which technologies age well, which don't, and which were just hype. That judgment — earned the hard way — protects your budget and your roadmap.

You'll always know where things stand.

Weekly updates, clear milestones, no surprises. If something changes, you hear it from us first — not when the deadline passes.

Your code. Your freedom.

No proprietary systems, no lock-in. We build on open source and hand over full ownership. Change agencies tomorrow if you want. (You won't want to.)

Good enough is not in our vocabulary.

Internal reviews, design critiques, QA loops — before anything reaches you. We only ship things we're proud to put our name on.
