About Wattif

Every existing facility runs on an electrical system nobody fully understands.

Panel schedules are out of date. Single-line diagrams are missing or wrong. Nobody knows which loads run when or why. Wattif is the electrical engineering firm that finds out.

Why We Exist

The facts about a facility should cost less than getting the decision wrong.

Almost no operator has them. Wattif exists to make them fast and affordable for every facility already built.

What rests on those facts
  • Adding load
  • Cutting the bill
  • Fixing what trips
  • Planning an upgrade

Electrification

“Can I add this load without a service upgrade?”

Chargers, heat pumps, a new tenant or a new line all arrive at the same panel, and the first answer is usually a service upgrade quoted against what the facility could draw. A service is sized for everything running at once, and the peak it actually reaches is usually well under that. Nobody has read the record to find out.

Energy Cost

“Why is my bill this high, and what can I cut?”

The bill arrives as one number. Behind it are loads left running overnight, a compressor that cycles when it should rest and one afternoon peak that sets the demand charge for the month, and nothing on the bill says which. The answer is on the panel, where each load can be read on its own.

Electrical Diagnosis

“What is going wrong, and what is about to fail?”

A breaker trips, a board runs hot, a motor fails years early, and each time a technician is sent to find the cause on site without knowing which circuit it was. Most faults show in the current for weeks before the trip, if anything is reading it.

What We Believe

Known as well as the floor plan

A facility's electrical system should be known as well as its floor plan. Every board, every circuit and what each one feeds.

Every load runs for a reason

Understanding operations and schedules matters as much as measuring power. The reading means nothing without the reason.

The best fix is in how it already runs

Most of what a facility needs is found in how it operates today. New equipment comes after that is understood.

Pay for engineering and outcomes

Clients pay for engineering and for results they can measure on their own panel. They do not pay for dashboards.

How We Work

AI agents do the slow work

They digitize panels, build single-line diagrams, analyse load data and draft reports. That is the work that has always made engineering slow, and it is where the hours went.

Judgment stays with our engineers

Every determination, every specification and every verified result is reviewed and signed by a licensed engineer under their own licence.

A small team with a large firm's reach

Because the agents carry the volume, a small team takes on work that once needed a large engineering firm, and each facility makes the next one faster.

Where We Come From

Singapore

Wattif began in Singapore. At The GEAR with Kajima we traced the energy to plug loads that served no one, and showed that moving the solar array onto a different main switchboard would raise self-consumption. Work with NTU Singapore followed.

The programmes

We went through the Shell StartUp Engine and The GEAR accelerator.

Today

We deliver projects in Singapore and Malaysia with local partners. The United States is our primary market. The United Kingdom and Australia follow.

Where We Are Going

We want every existing facility to have an engineer who knows its electrical system completely. Electrification is the most urgent question facilities face today, so we start there. Energy, reliability and power quality use the same engineering and follow from it.

Every job starts with a question. Tell us yours.
