Data Platform for HEMS Providers
Data engineering
Build the foundation for next-generation HEMS in 6–8 weeks
Hypercube’s HEMS Data Platform is designed for Home Energy Management System (HEMS) providers who need to modernise fast. It tackles legacy system pain points, relieves stretched teams, and lays the technical foundation for Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), AI-driven optimisation, and new recurring revenue streams. Crucially, it enables providers to unlock flexibility markets and monetise existing infrastructure, transforming today’s operational challenges into meaningful new revenue streams.

Challenges
HEMS providers face a unique set of pressures:
Legacy ERP and fragmented systems that slow operations and undermine trust in data
Complex flexibility markets that are hard to access but key to monetising existing infrastructure.
Disconnected customer, installer, and device data that blocks growth in subscriptions and digital services
IoT data at scale that is costly to manage and complex to integrate without the right architecture.
Our Approach
We combine strategy, engineering, and delivery to create a modern data platform tailored for HEMS.
Discovery and assessment:
-
- Map the current data architecture, including financial, market, weather, IoT, and business system domains.
- Identify immediate opportunities to reduce manual work and rebuild trust in data.
Strategy and design:
-
- Define a pragmatic, future-ready data architecture (lakehouse, mesh, or hybrid) as the single source of truth.
- Prioritise use cases aligned to ARR growth: demand-side response, subscriptions, flexibility services, and digital add-ons.
- Establish strategic data pillars: Foundation, Automation, and AI-enabled growth.
Implementation and delivery:
-
- Build the core data platform, integrating ERP, CRM, support, installer, and IoT device data.
- Deliver early automation wins such as compliance reporting or finance process relief.
-
Develop and launch tailored pilots, e.g. customer support intelligence, installer benchmarking dashboards, or flexibility market participation proof points.
The output

A clear, board-ready plan for the evolution of your data platform.
Modern data foundation
A cloud-based data platform integrated with core business and IoT systems.
Operational and digital service enablers
Automated reporting to ease team workload, plus unified customer, installer, and device views to unlock subscriptions, demand-side response, and flexibility markets.
Pilot implementations
Tangible proof points that demonstrate value and build momentum.
Benefits
Accelerated digital growth
Unlock ARR through subscriptions, demand-side response, flexibility markets, and customer-facing services.
IoT readiness
Handle high-volume device data efficiently, avoiding the spiralling costs and complexity of poorly designed architectures.
ERP and platform readiness
De-risk major system replacements by fixing the data layer first.
AI and VPP enablement
Lay the foundation for predictive maintenance, customer intelligence, and grid participation.
“We built 40% of a domestic Virtual Power Plant in four months. Which is crazy.”
