FrostLogic Explore
Building analytics and predictive maintenance software that reads the BMS, meters and IoT sensors a site already runs, then returns a ranked queue of decisions costed by money, comfort and compliance. EU-hosted or self-hosted, with no vendor lock-in.
What is FrostLogic Explore?
FrostLogic Explore is a building analytics and predictive maintenance platform built by FrostLogic AB, a Swedish company based in Malmö. The vendor files it under a category of its own making, Sensor Intelligence, and the product's premise is that most commercial buildings are already instrumented well enough to reveal what they are wasting, if only something read the data properly.
Explore connects to the building management system, energy meters and IoT sensors an operator already runs, and needs no new hardware. It reads over BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA, oBIX, MQTT and M-Bus through one of three routes: the BMS vendor's cloud API where one exists, a local FrostLogic Edge Agent installed on the BMS PC where it does not, or a connector the vendor builds for older regional systems.
What comes out is not a dashboard but a ranked queue. Six anomaly detection methods run continuously — sensor drift, stuck values, energy spikes, forecast deviation, offline sensors and cross-signal incoherence — and each issue arrives costed, scored for confidence and paired with a suggested next action. The company's line is blunt: a dashboard is a question, the queue is the answer.
Underneath sits FrostDynamics, described as a world model that gives the reasoning layer a thermodynamic understanding of each specific building. When a probe disagrees with physics, the engine trusts the physics. Answers cite the sensors they used, and the vendor's claim is that the system says so rather than guessing when the data is not there.
Four capabilities extend the core. Multi-horizon forecasts run to 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days with confidence bands. Compliance tracking scores live data against BREEAM, LEED and Nordic Swan thresholds and exports audit-ready evidence. A document warehouse turns manuals and procedures into a searchable knowledge graph, answered from the customer's own files. And Explore can propose a BMS change, a setpoint or a weekly schedule, with its reasoning and expected effect; write access starts switched off and is granted one scope at a time.
It runs either as managed SaaS in EU data centres or self-hosted in the customer's own Kubernetes cluster.
What it does
- Detect sensor and equipment anomalies continuously and rank them in one queue by what they cost
- Forecast consumption and drift at 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days with honest confidence bands
- Track BREEAM, LEED and Nordic Swan criteria against live data and export audit-ready evidence
- Search the building's own manuals and procedures in plain language, with answers cited from the source documents
- Propose a specific BMS change with its reasoning and expected effect, then apply it once a person approves
- Simulate the effect of a change before anyone touches the building
- Bring a scattered portfolio under a single ranked view without adding hardware
When to use FrostLogic Explore / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if FrostLogic Explore is the right fit.
When to use FrostLogic Explore
- Facility and portfolio managers running several commercial buildings who already own a BMS but only get charts out of it
- Maintenance and reliability teams that want faults ranked by cost and consequence instead of a wall of alarms
- Energy and sustainability leads chasing BREEAM, LEED or Nordic Swan evidence continuously rather than once a year
- European operators with data residency requirements, who need EU hosting or a fully self-hosted deployment
- Industrial, healthcare, retail and logistics sites where sensor data already exists but nothing turns it into action
When not to use FrostLogic Explore
- Anyone wanting fully autonomous HVAC control: writes start switched off, and the vendor points those buyers to competitors instead
- Teams looking for a CMMS or work-order system, which the vendor states explicitly that Explore is not
- Buyers who need a published price or a self-service signup, since every plan leads to a custom quote
- Anyone expecting to trial the product free, as evaluation runs through a paid proof of concept
- Single buildings with little or no existing instrumentation, since all the value comes from data already being collected
How to use FrostLogic Explore
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Start with the free Building Intelligence Score, a twelve-question diagnostic that takes about two minutes and needs no signup
- Book a 30 or 60 minute call through the vendor's scheduler, or send the contact form and expect a reply within one working day
- Describe the problem you are trying to solve — energy drift, a BMS you do not trust, a certification you are chasing
- See the product run live against a sample of your own data, or against an anonymised customer feed if you prefer a real building first
- Agree a paid proof of concept, whose cost is credited against the first year if you convert
- Connect the building: supply credentials for the BMS vendor's cloud API, have the Edge Agent installed remotely on the BMS PC, or wait for a custom connector
- Work through onboarding with a FrostLogic engineer, included in every plan
- Open the anomaly inbox each morning and work down the queue, which is ranked by consequence rather than by time
- For each item, use the suggested action — research it, jump to the metric, acknowledge or resolve it
- Grant BMS write access scope by scope once you trust the proposals, choosing whether each change waits for approval or runs automatically
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Needs no new hardware: it reads the instrumentation the building already has, over six industrial protocols
- Honest attribution of certifications — the ISO 27001 belongs to the host, and the vendor says so itself rather than implying otherwise
- Genuine EU data residency, with a real self-hosted option for sovereign or regulated portfolios
- Strong reversibility: data and trained models are exportable from the first day, with no vendor lock-in claimed anywhere
- Answers cite the sensors behind them, and the engine is designed to trust building physics over a drifting probe
- BMS write access starts disabled and is granted one scope at a time, so the tool cannot quietly take over the building
- A comparison page that names six competitors and says outright which buildings each of them suits better
Cons
- No price is published anywhere: all four plans lead to a custom quote, billed annually in euros
- No free trial — the only way to evaluate the product is a paid proof of concept
- No public API and no mobile application were found
- The vendor holds no certification of its own; SOC 2 and a FrostLogic ISO are described as still in planning
- A young, small company: incorporated in August 2024 with four employees on the register
- Single sign-on and user audit logs are reserved for the Enterprise and Self-Host tiers, and Starter keeps only 90 days of data
- No published savings figures for its own product, on a site that readily cites those of its competitors
Pricing & Plans
There is no permanent free plan and no published price. All four plans — Starter, Professional, Enterprise and Self-Host — carry a "request custom quote" button, and the vendor states that every plan is quoted against the customer's own portfolio. Quotes are given in euros excluding VAT and billed annually. The structure combines a platform fee, a per-building fee and a charge per active metric per month, where a metric is any timeseries ingested; disconnecting a metric stops it billing, and the per-building rate falls as the portfolio grows. One-time setup fees apply and are credited against a paid proof of concept. Committing to a two-year term takes 15 percent off the platform and building fees, and a three-year term 20 percent, with metric and setup fees excluded. A free two-minute diagnostic is offered, but it is a questionnaire rather than a tier of the product.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how FrostLogic Explore handles your data.
GDPR overview
FrostLogic AB is established in Sweden, so no Article 27 representative applies and none is named. The privacy policy, last updated in February 2026, covers the website rather than the platform, and lists the full set of GDPR rights: access, rectification, erasure, objection and restriction, portability, and withdrawal of consent. Requests go to privacy@frostlogic.se with a stated 30-day response, and the policy names the Swedish supervisory authority, IMY, for complaints. The security page adds that data processing agreements are available, that the lawful basis is legitimate interest for operational telemetry, and that there is no cross-border transfer of customer data. The vendor repeatedly describes the product as "GDPR-native by design", though it never uses the word compliant.
Who owns the data?
The vendor's position is unusually explicit: the customer owns both the data and the models trained on it. The security page states there is no vendor lock-in and that data and models are always exportable, and the company page repeats the commitment as "your data, your models, your weights", exportable on the first day and the last. Exports use standard formats. On the customer-hosted tier, encryption keys stay under the customer's control and nothing leaves their environment at all. No terms and conditions are published on the site, so these statements sit on marketing and security pages rather than in a contract a reader can inspect.
Reuse rights
Explore processes building and operational telemetry only: temperatures, CO2 levels, energy consumption and equipment runtimes. The vendor states that no personal data is ingested, stored or processed by default, and presents this as an architectural choice rather than a policy. User identity data lives only in the authentication layer. The document warehouse indexes the customer's own manuals and procedures, with embeddings computed on FrostLogic hardware inside the EU rather than through a third-party American API. The declared lawful basis is legitimate interest for operational telemetry, and explicit consent where a workflow involves personal data. The customer can export data and trained models at any point without asking permission. Nowhere does the site address whether FrostLogic trains its own models on customer data.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
FrostLogic offers two hosting models, both inside the European Union. The managed service runs on Hetzner's data centres in Falkenstein and Nuremberg, Germany, which the vendor states are ISO 27001 certified. The customer-hosted option runs in the customer's own Kubernetes cluster or private cloud, wherever they place it, with encryption keys under their control. The vendor states there is no cross-border transfer of customer data and that backups are co-located within the EU. Document embeddings for the knowledge warehouse are computed on FrostLogic's own hardware in the EU using BGE-M3 and stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector, rather than being sent to a third-party American API. Note that the marketing website itself resolves to a Microsoft Azure address in Amsterdam, which is distinct from where the platform processes customer data.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting FrostLogic Explore.
- Prices are quoted rather than published, so no reader can size the commitment in advance: expect a platform fee, per-building fees, a charge per active metric and one-time setup costs, all billed annually
- The registered office differs from the one advertised: the site gives Malmö, while the Swedish register and the EU VAT database both place the company in the neighbouring municipality of Staffanstorp
- No terms of service and no legal notice are published anywhere on the site, so commitments about data ownership, exports and lock-in rest on marketing and security pages rather than on a contract
- The ISO 27001 belongs to the hosting provider, not to FrostLogic, and the vendor has no certification of its own yet — a distinction the site makes honestly but that is easy to read past
- The published privacy policy covers only the website; how platform data is handled is described on a security page, outside any contractual document, and the disclosed subprocessor list likewise concerns the website
- The site never says whether FrostLogic trains its own models on customer data, and offers no opt-out — the absence of a commitment is not the same as a commitment
- Letting the system write to the BMS shifts real operational decisions onto a supplier's reasoning; the scope-by-scope controls are sound, but the habit of approving proposals without reading them is the risk to manage
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Low to moderate, and no hardware is involved. Three routes exist: supplying credentials for the BMS vendor's cloud API, which the vendor says usually connects the same day; a remote install of the FrostLogic Edge Agent on the existing BMS PC, described as an afternoon's work; or a custom connector for unusual systems, quoted at about a week. Onboarding by a FrostLogic engineer is included in every plan, and BMS write access starts disabled so commissioning never touches your control logic. The vendor notes that the slow part is rarely technical but organisational.

Should you pick FrostLogic Explore?
FrostLogic Explore occupies a deliberately narrow slot. It does not replace the building management system, and the vendor states plainly that it is not a CMMS either. It sits between the two and answers a single question: what deserves attention this morning, and what does waiting cost. Teams already drowning in BMS charts are the obvious audience.
Two things set it apart for a European buyer. Data residency is concrete rather than rhetorical — managed hosting runs in German data centres, self-hosting runs wherever the customer chooses, and the vendor commits to exportable data and trained models on the first day and the last. And the site is unusually careful about what it claims: the ISO 27001 on the security page is attributed explicitly to the host rather than to FrostLogic, while SOC 2 and a certification of its own are described as still in planning. A comparison page names six competitors and says which buildings each of them suits better.
The reservations are commercial rather than technical. No price is published anywhere; four plans all lead to a quote, billed annually in euros, combining platform, per-building and per-metric components plus setup fees. There is no free trial, only a paid proof of concept credited on conversion. There is no public API and no mobile app. And the company is young and small — incorporated in August 2024, four employees on the register, with no certification of its own yet.
Explore is worth a conversation for portfolio operators with existing instrumentation, EU residency requirements and the patience for a quoted annual contract. Buyers who want self-service pricing, an unsupervised HVAC controller or a long vendor track record should look elsewhere — and the site itself will tell them where.
