Six parts of the front office, and you own every one of them
Intake, the customer record, the service template, the action log, delivery and the funnel — the things a service business usually keeps in a notebook, a spreadsheet and somebody's memory, kept once here where the next request can use them.
Properties and equipment live on the customer, not in a message. A returning customer never re-types their address, and the technician sees what was found there last time before leaving the yard.
Every write is an action run: the tool, the input, the actor, the result — including the ones the policy layer refused. It is the record you want when a customer asks why they were told that.

The confirmation cannot quietly not arrive
Confirmations are durable runs with attempts and a visible state, not a best-effort send. A booking the customer was never told about is a no-show, and this is the layer that makes it a bug you can see.
Four steps between a message and a technician at the door
This is the loop the front office runs on every enquiry, and your team already does all four steps. What changes is who does the typing, the checking and the chasing — and that it stops short of anything that should be your call.
This is not a chatbot with a calendar plugin. The model proposes a structured decision; the application checks state, permissions and policy, and only then acts — which is why a repeated confirmation returns the same booking instead of a second van.
You decide how much the AI may do, and what is still on the way
Every workspace starts in Observe, where Ven writes down what it would have done and changes nothing. You climb from there, one mode and one service at a time. The last three cards are on the roadmap and say so.
Working hours with a timezone, the service zones you actually drive to, and what happens to an emergency at 23:40. The server enforces all three before a slot is ever offered.

Your technicians' own calendars
Two-way sync with Google and Microsoft, so external busy time blocks a slot and a confirmed visit lands in the calendar they already look at. The native week is live today; the connectors are next.

A price is a commitment
Ven drafts the quote from the service template and what it learned; a named person approves it before it goes anywhere. Nothing financially binding is ever sent autonomously.

Where the job goes after you
Every confirmed job already publishes a domain event — the seam the field-service and accounting connectors plug into. The event is live; the connectors are being built on it.

Pick your plan. Ven AI scales with you.
Every plan starts with a shared inbox and live chat. Add Ven AI's autonomous replies as your volume grows.

For small teams managing customer support in one shared inbox.
Lavenity is an AI front office for service businesses. Every enquiry — website chat, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram — lands in one inbox and becomes a structured service request. Ven AI asks the qualifying questions, your team approves what matters, and a confirmed visit becomes a work order with a brief the technician can leave with.
How is this different from a helpdesk like Intercom or Zendesk?
A helpdesk optimises for closing conversations; a front office optimises for turning them into work. Lavenity keeps the shared inbox and grounded AI replies you would expect from a helpdesk, and adds the operational layer underneath: service requests, qualification templates, availability, holds, confirmed visits and work orders.
Does the AI book appointments on its own?
Not today. Ven qualifies the request and proposes the next step; a person confirms the slot. Autonomous booking exists as a mode and is deliberately switched off until the scheduling tools are in Ven's hands — we would rather tell you that here than have you find out in the console.
How do I stop the AI from telling a customer something wrong?
Three ways, all on by default. Ven starts in Observe and changes nothing. Answers stay grounded in the knowledge you connect. And every write passes through a policy layer that checks state, permissions and version first — the model proposes, the application decides.
Can two customers end up booked into the same slot?
No. A slot is held with an expiry and confirmed against a database constraint rather than a check in application code. Repeated and concurrent confirmations return the same appointment and the same work order, which is proven by an integration suite that runs them in parallel against Postgres.
Which channels does the shared inbox support?
Website chat, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Discord, Slack and SMS all arrive in the same queue, and your team replies in whichever channel the customer already used.
What do I have to set up before it is useful?
One service with its duration and required questions, your working hours and service zones, and one resource with availability. Most teams are live in an afternoon, and start in Observe so nothing is at risk while you read what Ven would have done.
Does it connect to my calendar or field service system?
Not yet. The native calendar, availability, confirmations and work orders are live today; Google and Microsoft sync, quotes with approval, and field-service connectors are on the roadmap. Every confirmed job already publishes an event, which is the seam those connectors will use.
Who is Lavenity for?
Service businesses where an enquiry ends with somebody driving out: heating, plumbing and HVAC, electrical, appliance repair, cleaning and maintenance contractors. It was built around German SHK workflows first, and works anywhere the loop is the same.
Is my data secure and GDPR-compliant?
Lavenity's privacy practices are built in line with the GDPR, and the front office treats addresses, photos, serial numbers and message content as personal and operational data. Data in transit is protected with TLS, access is role-based, the chat widget runs in an isolated iframe, and every write is auditable. Enterprise plans add custom data retention and a dedicated security review.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required, and you can stay in Observe mode for as long as you want to watch before you switch anything on.
Stop retyping what the customer already told you
A 14-day free trial and an afternoon of setup. Start in Observe — Ven changes nothing until you say so.
