MVST x ecoplanet: Saving Energy, Saving The Planet

In the past 5 years, various products really proved to us why we are doing what we are doing.

One of our most memorable results is our work with the Co-Founders Henry Keppler and Maximilian Dekorsky reaching out to us with nothing but their vision. Together we worked on the strategy and product conceptualization and development to create their MVP. We also assisted them in the recruitment process, helping them find their CTO Javier Silva Ortiz. ✨

Why? Because we helped to make a real change in the world and take a huge step towards sustainable electricity consumption.

With the help of MVST, ecoplanet founders were able to take their vision to the next level - energy, costs, and CO2 savings within just a few clicks.

Our collaboration with ecoplanet combines cutting-edge technology with user-centric design to empower facility managers and industry leaders alike. Let's take a closer look at the SaaS products we built and the ones that will conquer the market very soon!

MVST x ecoplanet

ecoplanet is a Munich-based tech company that has the goal to help companies save energy and money - as soon as we got to know their aims better, we were fully convinced that we wanted to help them reach their goals!

The idea was great, and the vision was clear, but what was missing was the digital product! That's where we jumped in and happily helped ecoplanet get off the ground.

The Product Concept

The basic product concept of ecoplanet was to build a dashboard for customers to see their power usage and how to save it. Additionally, we integrated smart meter data, so that users can secure optimized consumption at best-in-class cost. This approach should be paired with AI-based procurement, tailored to companies’ individual consumption characteristics.

UX/UI Design

Notably, our design ethos revolves around striking a balance between technical sophistication and user-friendliness. With an abundance of graphics tailored to convey complex energy metrics, supplemented by intuitive information icons, we ensure that users can navigate the platform with confidence and clarity.

📊

We were not just working with graphs but with meaningful data.
That's why we incorporated the data into the design to make it more interactive and approachable to the user. We focused on a more illustrative way to show the data instead of just listing numbers.

For the look itself, we went for a more minimalistic style while keeping the brand colors and identity in mind: A grayscale color palette to make the insights and information on the reports shine and adding their brand green as a highlight!

Playing with shapes and palettes is our way to go when creating a flexible, yet user-friendly UI. All these visual aids not only enhance comprehension but also empower our end customers to make informed decisions, shaping a brighter future.

The Software

Everyone should be able to make a contribution to saving valuable energy resources and be part of a more sustainable future. ecoplanet can help:

reduce energy consumption in real-time
plan renewable energy investments in a roadmap
explore options for suitable financing

To achieve these great goals, ecoplanet needed a fully functional MVP website with several brand-defining features included to showcase to prospective investors.

We built the web app from scratch, closely partnering with ecoplanet's CTO. When delivering the finished SaaS product, we designed and built various features such as Cockpit, Projects, Daily energy reports amoung others.

At its core, our SaaS solution addresses the pivotal question:

Do energy costs align with energy consumption, or are there opportunities for optimization?

Catering specifically to the complex energy dynamics of expansive facilities like corporate offices and factories, our platform empowers users with unparalleled insights into their energy usage and expenditure.

Through our web app, users gain access to a comprehensive suite of tools for

monitoring energy consumption
managing budget allocations
analyzing energy costs across various locations

Notably, our platform offers granular transparency, allowing users to drill down to individual device-level data for a nuanced understanding of energy usage patterns. Central to our solution is the integration of Ember AI. This AI-based Assistant...

... is equipped with a sophisticated chat function.
... provides users with valuable insights
... displays real-time spot market updates
... personalizes notifications tailored to every user's specific needs

With this fully functional SaaS product, users can reduce energy consumption, automate their reporting, organize financing and promotion of sustainable energy, and much more. And - of course - all framed with a beautiful and fitting design!

Up Next: The Mobile App

Since we have built the web app for ecoplanet - which turned out to be a full success! - our partner now wants to build the mobile app together with us. We use one of our favorite software engineering tools for this: React Native.

The upcoming mobile app, with the frontend powered by MVST, promises to be a game-changer:

💡

It grants users seamless access to live data from anywhere, at any time. Whether it's monitoring energy consumption, keeping tabs on fluctuating energy costs, or staying updated on spot market prices, our app empowers users with real-time insights, right at their fingertips.

But the innovation doesn't end there. Our mobile app, currently in development, promises to redefine on-the-go energy management for industry leaders and CEOs. Tailored to meet the needs of busy executives, the app offers a streamlined interface for accessing critical energy consumption data, engaging with the Ember AI, and receiving pertinent notifications – all from the palm of their hands.

In our quest for excellence, we've adopted a strategic approach to product development, leveraging MVP methodology to validate concepts and iterate rapidly. By combining existing data with insights gleaned from user interviews, we've crafted wireframes that serve as a blueprint for our mobile app's functionality and user experience.

🚀

As we embark on this exciting journey with our partner, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and empowering our users to thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape. Together, we're not just building an app; we're revolutionizing the way energy data is leveraged, one insightful interaction at a time.

And here's where the magic truly unfolds. ecoplanet uses Ember AI - a technology that takes personalization to new heights. By offering advanced filtering options, users can extract even deeper insights from the data pool. With Ember AI at their disposal, end customers are equipped with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of energy management with unmatched precision.
