We Digitize the Utility Industry
Speed up your digitization with typical industry adapters and processes out of the box. Portals for grid connection, subcontractors, clerks and customers support you in the fast implementation. Processes related to smart metering and the handling of large data volumes round off the portfolio.
You have the choice: cloud, on premises or hybrid.
Always keep the overview
The more processes, systems and participants are involved, the more difficult it is to maintain an overview at all times. With the X4 Suite, we provide you with all important data from the connected systems and business processes in one dashboard.
Industry Solutions Speed Up Your Digitization Projects
Tried and tested business applications are available for the utility industry. With the X4 Suite digitization platform, these business applications can be easily implemented and adapted to your business logic, system interfaces and low-code interfaces. Benefit from tried and tested standard solutions adapted to your processes and system infrastructure.
Digital House Connection Process
With the digital house connection process you receive a complete and predefined process flow: from applying for a house connection to controlling installers and service providers. The orchestration of the workflow can be adapted to your business processes.
User interfaces for all process participants are also part of the digital house connection process:
- Customer portal
- Clerks portal
- Installer portal
- Service provider portal
Relevant peripheral systems – such as ERP and GIS – are connected with pre-parameterized interface processes. For the interface connection to your individual system infrastructure, SoftProject is the ideal partner for digitizing your house connection process with its ESB platform X4 Suite with over 200 adapters.
SAP Integration
Automate the data exchange and increase your data quality.
Integration of User Interfaces
- Easy switching between SAP-Fiori and X4 Suite portals
- Simple control of business processes in SAP via integrated user interfaces
- Automated readout and display of SAP requests in lists, cards and calendars
Dark Processing
- Creating customers, orders, service records and receivables
- Comparing master data, e.g. between SAP and GIS systems
We understand SAP with our standard adapters for JCO 2 and 3 to serve BAPIs, IDoc and RFC interfaces as well as our web service adapter for SAP OData Services.
Integration in Grid Operation
With X4 Suite as your central data hub, you get more out of your individual systems. We implement tailor-made problem solutions using adapters.
- Network control technology: PSIControl, Siemens S5/7, IDS HIGH-LEIT etc.
- GIS: ESRI ArcGIS, Smallworld, Caigos etc.
- ERP: SAP, Schleupen, MS Dynamics, Wilken etc.
- Network calculation: DigSILENT PowerFactory etc.
These industry-specific adapters are part of our X4 Suite with over 200 adapters. With these prefabricated connectors, we implement individual interface processes such as master data reconciliation, data preparation for line tracking or load flow calculation for low voltage.
Smart Metering
The X4 Suite connects your individual systems such as EDM, ERP/CRM, load flow calculation and GIS to an operating platform for smart metering.
- Persisting of master and transaction data in a Big Data time series database
- Meter reading of smart meters, e.g. via DLMS, IEC 61850, Siemens AMIS
- Meter change process incl. mobile offline solution
- Providing master and measurement data
- Preparing the network topology from GIS for load flow calculation in low voltage
With the X4 Suite, we have invested in a powerful tool that helps us to optimize and automate our process flows and to clearly organize our data flows between all core systems.

Syna GmbH
We were able to implement our pilot project quickly and easily using the X4 Suite. The media-break free transfer of the recorded data from the form to the GIS system allows now 80 percent of the GIS adaptations to be processed fully automatically. We will implement further projects with SoftProject in the near future.
