Software for energy and utility companies.

Field crew apps, meter and asset data, customer portals and the reports regulators ask for — built alongside your control systems, not inside them.

In short

We build field service apps, customer portals, meter and asset data dashboards and compliance reporting for utilities, energy contractors, solar installers and oil and gas service companies. Gulf first — Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman — in Arabic and English. We work on the business side of the network, not inside control systems.

Updated November 2026

our approach

A practice, not a sales territory.

Energy and utility software sits next to equipment that cannot fail. Control systems — SCADA, protection relays, plant automation — are specialist territory with their own vendors and safety rules. The software around them is where most of the day-to-day pain is: work orders on paper, meter readings re-typed, customer complaints in three systems, and reports to the regulator assembled by hand.

The hard parts are data and security. Meter and sensor data arrives in large volumes, with gaps and odd values, and has to be cleaned before anyone bills on it or reports it. And because utilities are critical infrastructure, the security rules are strict: national cybersecurity controls, separation between business IT and operational technology, and audits that ask who accessed what.

We have not built software for a utility. What transfers is systems work for critical infrastructure: a role-based portal with audit reporting deployed on-premise for Pakistan's largest shared payment switch, a payment checkout in production for 4+ years, and web and mobile apps built from zero for eHissab in Oman. We stay on the IT side of the boundary and read from operational systems rather than write to them.

— problems we solve

Common engagements.

— 01

Field service and work orders

A mobile app for crews: jobs assigned by area and skill, safety checklists completed before work starts, photos and readings captured on site, and offline use in plant rooms and remote areas. Work orders close with the evidence attached.

— 02

Meter data and consumption dashboards

Readings from smart meters or manual rounds brought into one store, checked for gaps and spikes, and shown as consumption by customer, building or zone. Bills and reports run on validated data only.

— 03

Customer self-service portal

Customers view usage and bills, pay online, report a fault with a photo and location, and follow it to resolution — in Arabic and English, on a phone.

— 04

Asset register and maintenance planning

Every transformer, pump, panel or chiller with its location, history and inspection schedule, so maintenance is planned from the register rather than from memory.

— 05

Regulatory and ESG reporting

Outage, connection, complaint and emissions figures gathered from the systems that produce them and assembled into the formats your regulator or sustainability report asks for, with the source of every number traceable.

— 06

Solar and EV charging tools

Quoting tools for rooftop solar, installation tracking, and dashboards for solar generation or charge-point use, connected to the inverter or charger vendor's API.

— by market

What energy and utilities need in our markets.

Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman

Utilities are mostly state-owned or state-linked, with national cybersecurity controls that vendors must meet and data that often has to stay in the country. Solar, district cooling and EV charging are growing alongside the traditional networks, and customer portals need Arabic and English.

Spain, Italy, France

Rooftop solar for self-consumption, energy communities and smart meters are common, and NIS2 sets security duties for energy operators. Installers and service companies need quoting, permitting and monitoring tools in Spanish, Italian or French, and GDPR treats meter data as personal.

Pakistan

Distribution companies deal with line losses, meter tampering and billing disputes, and many customers pay through a bank or a mobile wallet. Useful software is meter-reading apps with photo evidence, complaint tracking, and bill payment that runs on the country's existing payment channels.

— when not to hire us

When not to hire us.

If you need SCADA, protection or plant control work, hire a control-systems integrator — we do not work inside operational technology. If an established utility billing or asset management product already fits, configure it and have us build only the portals and apps around it. And if your procurement requires a vendor certified to ISO 27001 or a national cybersecurity scheme, we are not; we hold no such certifications.

faq

Frequently asked.

6 questions answered. Still have one? Reach out.

No. We build on the IT side: field apps, portals, dashboards and reports. Where operational data is needed, we read it through a historian, a one-way link or an export your OT team approves, and we design that access as read-only.

Tell us where it hurts.

We will say honestly whether we have shipped in your sector, what transfers from the ones we have, and where the expensive mistakes usually are.
