Tired of energy costs? Cut over 15% and control every site.
Sintropy is the operating system of your facilities: bills, alarms and the status of every site in one dashboard, to run a hundred stores as one. Savings measured against the baseline with the IPMVP methodology.
- Free bill analysis
- Two-month free test on two sites
- Savings measured with IPMVP
Already running in their sites
One solution
The one-stop shop for multi-site facilities
Four functions that today require four different suppliers, brought together in one system.
Over 15% less energy
IoT automation regulates HVAC, lighting and utilities on the actual opening hours of each store. Savings measured against the baseline with the IPMVP methodology.
Bills and contracts verified
Consumption measured in the field is compared with what the supplier invoiced. Discrepancies surface within the window for a dispute.
Predictive alarms
Cold rooms, equipment and abnormal consumption flagged while the fix is still scheduled maintenance, not an emergency.
Every site in one dashboard
A rule defined once applies to the whole network. Every new opening goes live already configured.
One supplier, one fee, one dashboard. Sintropy cuts energy spend and gives you back operational control of the network.
The platform in operation
A hundred facilities, one screen
The operating screen our clients check every morning: every site with status, alarms, temperature, savings and live consumption.
- Energy wallet of the network: savings against the IPMVP baseline, corrected for weather and price.
- Every site with its status, active alarms and real-time consumption.
- TARS runs the automations for you and flags only what needs a decision.
How we measure
Sensors where needed, software where it is enough
Battery-powered wireless devices: installed while the store is open, with no building work and without going through the company IT network.
-
QuarkAiR
Temperature and humidity · ±0.1 °C
Disc-shaped device with adhesive mount. Watches cold rooms, counters and dining rooms with 4 years of battery life.
-
Klepton
Current and energy · up to 1000 A
Clamps onto the cable with no power interruption, powered by the current it measures. No wiring, no downtime.
-
Water metering
Water and gas meters · AI reading
An optical camera reads the existing mechanical dial. Existing meters go digital with no work on the pipes.
Compatible with the systems you already have
Where an HVAC plant or a supervision system is in place, integration is direct, through standard protocols or software interfaces. Where there is no system at all, we install the sensors. Most projects use both.
- BACnet
- Modbus
- Dry contacts
- Controller APIs
- LG
- Daikin
- Mitsubishi Electric
- Aermec
- Siemens Desigo
- Sauter
- Samsung
- Panasonic
- Climaveneta
- Carel
How to start
From the first site to the whole network
Consumption analysis
Bills and the list of sites are enough to identify the room for intervention and quantify it.
Two-month test on two sites
Installed in a few hours, while the store is open. No building work, no interruption of business.
Roll-out on results
After thirty days the first measured data is available. The network roll-out happens only on the strength of the results.
Step 1 starts from the bills you already have.
Recurring questions
The questions we hear most often
Does it work with the systems we already have?
Yes. Where an HVAC plant or a supervision system is in place, integration is direct via BACnet, Modbus, dry contacts or APIs, with integrations already available for LG, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Aermec, Siemens Desigo, Sauter, Samsung, Panasonic, Climaveneta and Carel. Where there is no system at all, we install wireless sensors. Existing systems never need replacing.
How long does installation take, and what do we have to stop?
A few hours per site, while the store is open. The sensors are wireless and battery-powered, with adhesive or clamp mounting: no building work, no wiring, no interruption of business. You start with a two-month free test on two sites and extend to the network based on the results.
How do you calculate the savings? Is it a convenient number?
Savings are measured against a baseline built on the site’s historical consumption according to the IPMVP protocol, and normalized for weather and energy price. A mild winter or a better tariff is therefore not credited to the project. The calculation is available in the platform, site by site.
Do you need to enter our IT network?
No. The sensors have their own connectivity, LoRa or SIM, and never go through the store’s IT network. That is why chain IT departments approve the project quickly: no port to open, no VPN to configure, no change to the existing infrastructure.
Which sites make sense to put under control first?
Usually the most energy-hungry sites and those that have already shown problems: a cold-chain failure, an out-of-scale bill, a plant that cannot be controlled remotely. From your bills and the list of sites we point out where to start, before any contractual commitment.

Reporting · Sustainability
The energy you need to know how to report
Scope 1 and 2, per-site data, the energy audit, and guarantees of origin. What you need to have in hand before the auditor, a corporate customer, or the shopping mall's landlord asks for it.
Energy analysis
How much are you leaving on the meter?
Request the consumption analysis of your network: we assess the sites and quantify the recoverable savings, based on real data.
The details you leave are used only to get back to you. We never pass them to third parties and delete them on request.
