About iQ LAB

Energy you can
actually see.

IQ LAB gives every Australian business the visibility, insight and control over energy that once belonged only to the largest operators. One platform, built around how energy works here.

Why we exist

Energy is a top cost and the least visible.

For most multi-site businesses, energy is one of the largest controllable costs on the books, and one of the hardest to see. Bills arrive late, interval data sits in retailer portals, and the next contract decision gets made on whoever has the latest spreadsheet.

IQ LAB was built to close that gap. Connect the data through the Consumer Data Right, validate every charge, surface the savings hiding in demand and tariffs, and put each renewal on solid ground, all in one platform.

We give finance, procurement, operations and sustainability teams the same visibility the largest operators have always had, built around how energy actually works in Australia.

The platform

One platform. Every site. The full picture.

IQ LAB connects your meters, assets and contracts so you have the visibility, analysis and procurement capability that used to require a dedicated energy team to access.

Seeing what happened at every site yesterday, not when the invoice arrives six weeks later. Every bill checked automatically against your contracted rates and meter data, with discrepancies flagged and documented before you pay them. Running your own energy tender direct to a panel of major Australian retailers, on your data, on your terms, without handing the process to a broker.

For businesses with sustainability obligations, Scope 2 reporting generated automatically from actual consumption data in NGERS-aligned format, ready for board reporting, corporate client requests and compliance submissions.

This is not a suite of separate tools. It is one platform where every module works from the same data, and where each part makes the others more useful.

A platform first

The first self-service C&I energy tender platform in Australia.

Until IQ LAB, running a proper C&I energy tender in Australia meant engaging a broker, sharing your data with a third party and waiting weeks for a process you could not see or verify. Offers arrived indifferent formats from different inboxes, for a process you had no visibility over.

IQ LAB sends a structured Request for Pricing directly from your interval data to a growing panel of major Australian retailers. Responses come back in a consistent format, side by side. You compare them, select the right offer and sign electronically, with the IQLAB team available to assist or run the process alongside you if you prefer.

The tools that were previously only available to large energy users with procurement teams are now available to any business, at any scale, through a self-service platform.

Built for the Australian market

Not adapted for Australia. Built for it.

IQ LAB is built specifically for the Australian energy market. The NEM, AEMO metering infrastructure, the CDR framework, the specific retailers, meter data agents and network distributors that make up the Australian energy ecosystem.

A platform adapted from a US or UK product, or built generically for anyenergy market, does not account for any of that properly. Australian energy has its own regulatory framework, its own data standards and its own commercial dynamics. IQ LAB is built around all of them.

IQ LAB is a registered CDR representative through Adatree, one of the only energy platforms in Australia to hold this accreditation. Every retailer connection is governed by the Australian Consumer Data Right regulatory framework. All data is processed and hosted exclusively in Australia.

What's next

More coverage. More capability. The same focus.

IQ LAB is in active development. The retailer panel grows as CDR adoption expands. The integration library adds new connections as webuild them. The analysis capabilities deepen as more data flows through the platform.

Every decision about what to build next comes back to the same question: does this give businesses more control over their energy?

We are not building a generic utility management platform. We are building the best energy management and procurement platform in the Australian market, by staying focused on the specific problems Australian businesses actually have.

Growing retailer panel
CDR coverage expands as more retailers join the framework. Every new connection means more competition at your next tender.
Deeper integrations
New hardware, metering and building system connections added continuously as the Australian market evolves.
Partner programme
White-label, reseller and referral arrangements for brokers, consultants, embedded network operators and retailers.
CDR and data access
As the Consumer Data Right framework matures, IQ LAB's data access andanalysis capabilities grow with it.
