SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scalefocus' groundbreaking work in transforming the energy domain was duly recognized at the 22nd Annual International Business Awards®. The company earned a Silver Stevie® Award in the Energy Industry Innovation of the Year category for its "Smartification of the energy industry through real-time analytics". The project highlights the impact of Scalefocus in the energy sector.

At the core of the award-winning innovation is the partnership between Scalefocus and tde, a pioneer in data-driven solutions for the energy industry. The Scalefocus team expanded tde's time-series data backbone, enabling greater data capabilities across the entire tde product line.

As a result, one of their flagship digital products – a real-time oil drilling data platform for brownfield wells, became a powerful source of real-time intelligence with significantly increased data frequency and granularity.

The Challenge

The client's legacy MySQL-based system couldn't process real-time streams of up to 1,000 data points per second across dozens of metrics. Regulatory requirements in regions like Saudi Arabia added complexity, necessitating both cloud and on-premises deployments.

The Scalefocus team overhauled the entire platform and increased capacity to 600+ channels streaming 1,000 data points per second each, enabling drilling operators to monitor critical metrics such as vibration, flow, and speed in real time.

Our real-time drilling solution transformed decision-making processes. Operators now receive immediate feedback on drilling conditions and equipment status – far beyond the previous standard, where crucial data was only available hourly or even the next day. This visibility enables quicker adjustments and significantly reduces downtime.

The project also incorporates hybrid cloud capabilities to meet strict regional compliance requirements, allowing seamless deployment across AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments. This ensures that clients in highly regulated markets, such as Saudi Arabia and Algeria, where cloud storage isn't an option, can fully leverage the innovation without compromising sovereignty or security.

The Results

Thе leap in data visibility has translated into substantial client value: downtime reductions, faster operational decisions, and efficiency improvements estimated at 10% per drilling site – a savings potential of more than €7.5 million per well. With over 150 drilling sites already using the platform, the global impact is measured in hundreds of millions of euros saved.

"This award is a recognition of our unwavering commitment to creating real value for our clients," said Ivan Ivanov, CEO of Scalefocus. "By enabling companies to make faster, data-driven decisions, we help them not only cut costs but also accelerate time-to-market for critical resources. Innovation for us is not about technology for its own sake – it's about transforming industries and empowering businesses to thrive."

The Stevie® Awards, widely recognized as the world's premier business awards, honor excellence in organizations that demonstrate outstanding innovation and achievement. Scalefocus' recognition places it among the leaders driving the digital transformation of the energy and utilities sector.

With this milestone, Scalefocus reaffirms its mission to deliver tailored, high-impact software solutions that help clients in energy, fintech, high tech, aviation, and other industries unlock growth through innovation.
