Apparent Inc.

Apparent is an intelligent energy management services provider. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Energy, Energy Management, Power Grid and Solar, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Apparent Inc. is based in Novato, California. You can read more at apparent.com.
