What solvari belgie does

Solvari B.V., operating in Belgium as Solvari Belgium, is a two-sided online marketplace connecting homeowners seeking renovation and sustainability services with vetted local tradespeople (vakspecialisten). Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Utrecht (Netherlands) with a Belgian office in Geraardsbergen, the platform spans 130+ project categories including solar panels, insulation, heat pumps, windows and doors, roofing, and general construction. The consumer-facing site allows homeowners to submit project requests at no cost and be matched with up to four local professionals, while Solvari Pro provides tradespeople with lead management, campaign configuration, and self-service onboarding in approximately fifteen minutes. The company reports having helped more than one million consumers and processes roughly 1,500 task requests per day.

The platform's technology stack combines automated systems and AI-driven matching with third-party search infrastructure (Algolia) and a verified-review and Quality Score framework, where tradespeople scoring 80%+ receive the Top Pro badge. Built-in anomaly detection supports communication and fraud-prevention workflows. An API-based integration layer connects leads directly into tradespeople's CRM systems, including Teamleader, Salesforce, 2Solar, Pipedream, Zoho, HubSpot, Odoo, and PerfectView. Solvari acquired Belgian competitor Buldit in 2021 and has since expanded operations into France, Denmark, and Sweden alongside its core Benelux markets.

Solvari generates revenue primarily through a pay-per-lead model in which tradespeople pay only when a lead is delivered, with pricing varying by category, region, and campaign settings; registration is free and non-binding. A secondary revenue stream comes from Premium Packages offered to professionals on monthly and annual contract terms. The consumer side is entirely free. The company operates with 100+ employees (Solvateers) across Belgium and the Netherlands, led in Belgium by country manager Gauthier Daens. Solvari is privately held as a Dutch B.V., with no disclosed funding rounds or external ownership changes.
