Energy contract brokerage platform with direct sales at scale
TeleSon is a public energy brokerage house managing millions of customer relationships through direct sales. The tech stack—PHP/Symfony backend with React frontend, MySQL + Redis, containerized via Docker—reflects a business built on transaction volume rather than complexity. Active projects reveal a pivot from pure brokerage toward owned products: the company is building its own digital sales platform, optimizing household tariffs, and migrating from monolith to service-oriented architecture, while simultaneously scaling door-to-door sales operations. Sales hiring dwarfs engineering (10:1), consistent with a sales-led org hitting against product scalability ceilings.
TeleSon Vertriebs GmbH, a subsidiary of TeleSon AG and a public company, brokers energy supply contracts (electricity, gas, solar) across Germany via direct sales. The company operates a nationwide field sales network and has facilitated optimization for over 2 million customers. Core business spans traditional door-to-door energy sales, tariff comparison for households, and contract mediation on behalf of utility suppliers. The org is now building proprietary software platforms (digital sales tools, product management layers) and modernizing its backend infrastructure to support growth beyond manual brokerage.
TeleSon runs PHP and Symfony on the backend with React frontend, MySQL for databases, Redis for caching, and Docker for containerization. CI/CD is handled by GitLab, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.
Active projects include building a proprietary digital sales platform, migrating from monolithic to service-oriented architecture, scaling door-to-door direct sales teams, optimizing household energy tariffs, and developing owned products to market.
