What Offerten.ch does

Offerten.ch is a Swiss online marketplace founded in 2014 that connects homeowners with vetted tradespeople and contractors for home renovation, construction, and maintenance projects. Operated by Houzy AG under the Devis.ch brand (itself a subsidiary of Swiss insurance group Baloise), the platform enables Swiss consumers to submit project requests at no cost and receive up to four competitive, non-binding quotes from pre-screened local businesses across more than ten service categories, including heating and cooling, construction and renovation, moving and cleaning, kitchen and sanitary work, electrical and security, windows and doors, garden and pool, painting and flooring, and insulation and roofing. The company's stated annual volume is approximately 45,000 customer requests, and it operates across German-speaking Switzerland and French-speaking Switzerland (Romandy).

The core product is a web-based quote request platform with a category-driven consumer funnel. The consumer experience is supported by a content marketing layer (blog articles on home improvement topics) and organic social presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. The supply side operates through a dedicated business partner portal where tradespeople register to receive qualified project leads. The technology stack is described as a standard web marketplace without a public or partner-facing API and without disclosed proprietary automation features.

The business model is a free-to-consumer lead generation marketplace. Consumers pay nothing to submit a request; revenue is generated by monetizing the tradespeople who receive qualified inquiries, classified in source material as affiliate/referral monetization on a monthly billing cadence. The legal entity is Houzy AG (Canton Vaud jurisdiction), with operational headquarters in Dietikon/Zürich. A sister platform, Houzy, offers property valuation, renovation cost estimation, and broker finder services under the same Baloise-owned parent, positioning Offerten.ch within a broader homeowner services ecosystem.
