About us
We are the Czech company FLOWBOX, which has been developing a unique software platform for autonomous energy management since 2012 and has been providing consultancy and energy audits since 2024. Our software, FLOWBOX, integrates all technologies that produce and consume energy—whether electricity, gas, water, heat, or specialty gases—into one environment and ensures their orchestration for optimal utilization. FLOWBOX operates in industries, real estate, and in the field of smart cities and community energy both in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Our Mission
We believe that we can help industries, buildings, and cities optimize their operations while sustainably utilizing natural resources and people's time.
"We are convinced that the only truly clean energy is the energy that is not produced."
History
In 2012, Petr Vaněk (then Head of R&D at T-Mobile CE) decided to digitalize the technologies in his home, long before smart-home solutions became a market standard. The excellent functionality of his prototype convinced him that the potential of this solution far exceeded the relatively simple challenges of family homes. He soon began collaborating with his first industrial clients, including the company Baumruk & Baumruk led by Martin Baumruk. Visionary companies like Baumruk & Baumruk helped Petr Vaněk continuously expand and technologically advance FLOWBOX. Not long after, his co-founder Tomáš Macák joined him, and together they managed to build a strong team and expand the platform into additional segments. Over the years, FLOWBOX began to make its mark in the Real Estate and Smart Cities segments.
In 2018, the current director and owner, Tomáš Rendla, joined Petr and Tomáš, quickly accelerating the business side of the company and helping it reach a global scale. In the following years, FLOWBOX continued to grow, for instance, in 2022, FLOWBOX recorded a fourfold increase in revenue and by then had already completed over two hundred installations in industrial, administrative, and commercial buildings (companies in automotive, glassmaking, metallurgy, HealthTech, and others). The energy crisis created a huge market demand for efficient management of all energy consumption, and legislative requirements also pushed companies to increase the efficiency of buildings and industrial production. At FLOWBOX, we know how to capitalize on this, having anticipated the market and developed technology for years that not only addresses the energy crisis but also meets regulatory requirements, ESG goals, and reduces the emissions footprint.

Technical Perspective on Our Solutions
At FLOWBOX, we rely on internationally recognized standards and practical solutions that help organizations meet key requirements in cybersecurity (NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001) and energy management (ISO 50001).
Our technology and internal processes are designed to provide real, measurable support in improving security, reducing risk, and meeting audit and certification requirements.
NIS 2 Directive
FLOWBOX confirms that the NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) does not formally apply to our organization.
Nevertheless, we voluntarily comply with its key requirements through:
our certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001,
ongoing alignment with a current Statement of Applicability, which defines security controls relevant to our operations.
FLOWBOX takes a responsible and proactive approach to cybersecurity and information protection, not only in compliance with applicable legislation, but also in line with the high expectations of our customers and partners.
ISO 27001 Certification
FLOWBOX has achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification, confirming our ability to manage information security in a systematic and structured way. This internationally recognized standard demonstrates that we actively protect sensitive data, effectively manage security risks, and operate in accordance with strict cybersecurity requirements.
ISO 50001 and FLOWBOX
The FLOWBOX solution actively supports organizations in implementing, maintaining, and improving their energy management system in accordance with the ISO 50001 standard.
With FLOWBOX, companies can:
monitor and evaluate energy consumption in real time,
analyze energy data and identify savings opportunities,
set energy performance goals and indicators,
plan and manage efficiency improvement measures,
optimize both energy production and consumption,
generate documentation for audits, reporting, and compliance.
This makes FLOWBOX a practical tool for organizations pursuing ISO 50001 certification or aiming to continuously improve their energy performance.
