When to choose Fusebox OS

-
Control real assets in real time and monetise flexibility using EMS + VPP capabilities.
-
Operate hybrid and multi-asset sites (PV + BESS + loads, plus mixed portfolios) with one operational layer.
-
Scale across asset sizes: grid-scale, C&I, and smaller assets, including aggregator-of-aggregators models.
-
Run demand response as a first-class capability, including flexibility from consuming assets.
-
Go live fast and reach first market revenues typically in 1–6 months (main variable is whether new TSO connections are required).
-
Avoid vendor lock-in by using a DIY-friendly core that integrates into your existing infrastructure and lets you plug in or swap specialist vendors.
When to choose Navitasoft
Choose Navitasoft if you need to:
-
Run market IT processes: nominations, schedules, market communication, settlement, billing, and regulatory market workflows.

Standardise BRP/trader/retail back-office operations and integrate deeply into ETRM/CRM/billing landscapes.
-
Operate primarily on the market IT and data/process side, with EMS/VPP handled by another platform or service.

WHERE FUSEBOX OS WINS
Fusebox controls and optimises physical assets and executes flexibility with EMS + VPP logic. Navitasoft runs market communication and settlement processes. If your value creation depends on how assets are operated, Fusebox is the right layer.
Fusebox is designed for hybrid sites and multi-asset coordination (PV + BESS + loads) and can scale that logic across portfolios. This is outside Navitasoft’s product scope.
Fusebox supports flexibility from consuming assets and portfolio orchestration across asset types, enabling demand response and mixed portfolios rather than only market-process automation.
Fusebox is typically deployed to first revenues in months, especially when existing market connections can be reused. Navitasoft deployments often resemble broader market IT rollouts with longer internal coordination cycles.
Fusebox is meant to be the stable orchestration core between your infrastructure and specialist vendors. You can plug in forecast, optimisation, trading, or settlement partners without rebuilding the execution layer.
Fusebox combines configurable modules and integrations with the ability to deliver customer-specific extensions when required, which reduces risk in real-world deployments.
