Who is venfree for?
Electricians and system integrators use venfree for quick project calculations: enter room functions, get a device list and price estimate immediately, and order directly from your wholesaler.
Builders and homeowners planning a smart-home system can independently determine which devices are needed for which functions and get an approximate cost estimate.
Manufacturers and wholesalers can integrate venfree as a white-label planning tool into their own offerings via the venfree API.
What can venfree do?
Project planning: configure rooms with functions (lighting, blinds, heating, presence detection, and more). The solver automatically selects matching devices from the catalog and creates a complete bill of materials.
Prices and BOM: current net prices based on manufacturer list prices, as export file (CSV, JSON), or directly as an order to your wholesaler.
Ordering: connected wholesaler accounts enable direct order submission via IDS-Connect, the standard ordering protocol in German electrical wholesale.
Telegram bot: order article numbers and quantities via text or voice message, directly from the job site (setup in progress).
What does venfree cost?
venfree is free for users and will remain so. Electricians, system integrators and builders pay nothing.
Manufacturers and wholesalers who integrate venfree as a white-label API into their own systems pay an API license. These revenues fund the free user access.
