Venture Clienting with a Leading Swiss Home Solutions Provider 

Venture Clienting 

The company is pursuing a venture clienting approach to integrate cutting-edge solutions from innovative partners directly into its operations. 

As a venture client, the company seeks to collaborate with startups, scale-ups, and technology providers to implement novel technologies that address concrete business challenges and create measurable value. This enables fast validation and deployment of external innovations in real-world settings — bridging the gap between idea and impact. 

The company is a leading provider of kitchen and bathroom solutions in the Swiss market, serving both professional and private customers through a nationwide network of stores and service centers. It offers products, planning, and after-sales support, with a focus on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. 

For this initiative, the company is focusing on two key areas where forward-looking solutions are sought: 

• Focus Area 1: AI-Based Recommendation System 
• Focus Area 2: AI-Powered Service Desk Automation  

All information about the focus areas can be found in the corresponding tabs. 

Why participate?

This challenge offers startups, scale-ups, and tech companies a unique opportunity to collaborate directly with a leading provider of kitchen and bathroom solutions in the Swiss market. With dedicated budgets already secured for both focus areas, the company is looking for mature, plug-and-play or easily adaptable solutions that can quickly deliver value through a pilot, proof of concept, and scalable implementation.

By participating, you gain the chance to validate and scale your solution with a real-world customer and establish a long-term partnership.

• Concrete Offer: Participants are expected to submit a clear cost structure and a concrete offer for a Proof of Concept (PoC) phase, outlining expected costs, timeline, and deliverables.
• Proof of Concept (PoC): Selected teams will work closely with company experts to develop and implement a PoC that demonstrates clear business value. Depending on maturity and fit, a paid pilot can be initiated quickly.
• Fast-track Implementation: The company seeks ready-to-use or mature solutions, enabling rapid rollout and measurable impact without long pilot loops.
• Long-term Partnership: Based on the results of the PoC or pilot, the company and solution provider can define a sustainable collaboration — ranging from service contracts to embedded solutions and joint development.

This is your opportunity to become a trusted innovation partner — with a structured process, real budgets, and the potential to scale your solution across the organization.
