Bouke Stoffelsma
ox8 Corporate Finance has successfully advised HAUSHELD AG on the strategic partnership with Solandeo GmbH, GreenPocket GmbH, and Mako365 GmbH. The group’s goal is to pool expertise in the field of intelligent metering systems and make the Smart Meter rollout in Germany more efficient.
November 2025. ox8 Corporate Finance has supported Hausheld AG in another important step of its corporate development: forming a strategic partnership together with smart metering specialists Solandeo, GreenPocket and Mako365 under the umbrella of Hausheld AG.
Hausheld AG is one of the largest independent providers of end-to-end solutions for smart metering systems in Germany and a leading developer of intelligent metering technology. The company serves municipal utilities and network operators across the country and specialises in establishing the smart grid infrastructure, being the partner of choice for the rollout of 500,000 Smart Meter installations.
Together with Solandeo’s metering expertise as competitive metering point operator, GreenPocket’s energy software for data visualisation and customer engagement, and Mako365’s nationwide market communication solution, the group now combines its strength to make the smart meter rollout in Germany simpler, more robust and faster. The new group structure creates an integrated service offering for municipal utilities – with clearly defined roles and open interfaces.
- Hausheld coordinates the rollout of intelligent metering systems as a general contractor from meter production to installation, operation and financing.
- Solandeo acts as a competitive metering point operator (wMSB), taking over operational management, particularly for customers without their own metering operator infrastructure or with nationwide needs.
- GreenPocket develops portals and apps for end customers and business clients to ensure legally compliant visualization of energy data.
- Mako365 provides automated software solutions for market communication, remaining open to all market participants.

Bouke Stoffelsma, CEO of Hausheld AG, explains:
“We are managing numerous large-scale rollouts for our customers. It is a major step forward that all technical components for the rollout are now available within one group. This will make the entire process significantly easier for our clients.”
