In their own words
ABB Nsight
ABB Nsight is a cloud-based analytics platform for industrial operators seeking visibility into site energy use and carbon performance. It centralizes water, air, gas, electricity, and steam data in one dashboard and includes utility bill and tariff analysis. The platform supports greenhouse gas baselining, reporting, and real-time monitoring for Scopes 1 and 2. Its listed levels cover reporting and tariff analysis, real-time meter and significant energy user monitoring, and optimization tools such as grid prediction, demand response optimization, and automated load curtailment. ABB says Nsight connects with ERP, BMS, SCADA, AMI, and IoT systems using open APIs and flexible protocols. It is designed to use existing meters, sensors, and systems without requiring new hardware in most cases. ABB describes encryption at rest and in transit, outbound-only data flow, and two-factor authentication, and states compliance with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST standards. All three subscription levels include onboarding, training, and 24/7 support. The platform is available on web and via API; pricing is on request.
Wia
Wia is an energy intelligence platform for operators managing building portfolios. It combines meter, building-management-system, invoice and cloud data to monitor electricity, gas and water across sites. Data can arrive through retrofit IoT, cellular or LoRaWAN, BMS integration, manual uploads, invoice ingestion, cloud connections or an open API. Optimization tools rank savings opportunities, support solar-yield and charging optimization, and detect anomalies from actual consumption. Operations features include alerts, audits, surveys, tasks, device-health monitoring and remote firmware updates. Wia can schedule heating, cooling and lighting through BACnet or Modbus controllers and control VRF systems over their own protocol. Reports export as PDF, Excel or CSV for standards including CSRD, EPBD, EED, MEES, SECR and ISO 50001. ESG integrations include Watershed, Sweep, Persefoni, Plan A, Sphera, Greenstone and EcoVadis; REST, webhooks and OAuth are supported. Pricing is quoted per site after a remote survey. Wia supplies CSRD data but does not file regulatory returns.
