EcoFactor

EcoFactor is a cloud-based home energy management platform providing energy-saving services to utilities and home service providers. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Energy, Energy Management and Machine Learning. 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.

EcoFactor is based in Redwood City, California and founded in 2006. You can read more at ecofactor.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with EcoFactor, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
