Problem
Energy procurement has become increasingly difficult for European companies due to geopolitical pressures, macroeconomic volatility, and shifting demand from electrification and renewable adoption. Traditional procurement processes rely on isolated data sources and spreadsheets, leaving energy buyers trapped in rigid, manual workflows that cannot respond quickly to market fluctuations.
Solution
onu.energy offers a centralized platform that unifies consumption data, market analytics, and procurement decisions across the entire energy buying cycle. The software combines real-time market data with historical consumption patterns to generate precise forecasts of energy needs, costs, and risks, while providing data-driven purchasing and hedging recommendations. Users can run simulations and backtesting to evaluate different procurement scenarios without financial exposure, and automate recurring purchasing steps within predefined risk boundaries. The platform also generates automated reports on consumption, procurement costs, and budget risks, enabling transparent sharing with finance departments and management for faster approval processes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are procurement managers at energy-intensive European companies in manufacturing, food and beverage, and logistics industries, as well as organizations managing multiple industrial sites with significant electricity consumption.
