The smart-me technology allows energy to be precisely measured, controlled, optimised and billed. In addition to the mobile application for end customers, smart-me offers various partners from the energy sector a comprehensive energy management platform that enables them to offer innovative services and products for decentralised energy systems. smart-me is an award-winning technology company with over 25 employees that supplies both energy suppliers and electrical installers.
How we do it
smart-me is growing with the competent specialist partners who can purchase the products exclusively from us.
We maintain an intensive dialogue with energy suppliers and electricians and incorporate their feedback into the development process, as well as holding regular training courses and webinars. The partners are at the heart of smart-me’s growth and they enable us to tackle the tasks ahead together with smart-me. The partners are professionals and actively contribute to a more sustainable building sector. smart-me is looking for more partners to jump on the bandwagon and accompany smart-me on this journey.
The founders
smart-me was founded in 2014 by father and son team David and Arnold Eberli. David comes from the software sector and Noldy from the hardware sector, which together are the perfect prerequisites for the development of smart-me products.

Founder, CEO and Head of Software Development
Noldy Eberli
Founder and Senior Hardware Developer
The vision
The vision of the founding duo David and Noldy Eberli was and is to bring the energy sector into the digital age. Everyone consumes energy and can therefore contribute to a more sustainable use of it. With our simple energy management solution, we want to help people all over the world to do this. Our products and our cloud-based platform increase the efficiency of energy systems. Our technology makes energy data available live, enabling the optimisation of energy flows and the decentralised use of sustainably produced energy.
The development
In addition to smart-me AG in Switzerland, which focuses on development, subsidiaries eCarUp and smart-RED were founded to expand into e-mobility and the German market respectively. eCarUp offers a unique, charging hardware-independent platform that enables the management, maintenance and billing of e-charging stations and also makes it possible to integrate charging infrastructure into the smart-me energy management system. At the same time, smart-RED is taking the German market by storm, where there is a huge demand for intelligent metering infrastructure due to the growing number of tenant electricity projects. The organisation is constantly developing in areas where there is a need and where strong growth can be generated. Based on a simple but resounding core idea: the digitalisation of energy.
