PROBLEM
The current tools you use were not built for planning workflows
Fragmented tools slow projects down
Project website. Survey tool. Map software. Excel analysis. Slide reporting. Each project becomes manual stitching instead of a structured workflow.
Setup and analysis consume too much time
Launching an engagement project takes longer than it should. Consolidating feedback takes even longer. The most repetitive work takes up the most time.
Existing platforms are overengineered
Many engagement tools require onboarding, complex configuration, and training. Instead of simplifying projects they introduce operational overhead.
SOLUTION
One platform for the entire community engagement workflow
Everything happens in one system
Project setup, participation, analysis and export happen in the same platform. No parallel tools. No manual data transfers.
Smart automation from setup to reporting
Projects start with the right structure. Feedback is organized automatically and insights appear without manual work.
Built for project teams to use right away
No enterprise bloat. No steep learning curve. A platform planning firms can use immediately without weeks of onboarding.

FAQ
Your questions, our answers
How does Senf handle data protection and security?
Data security and privacy are fundamental to the platform. Access is role-based, data transmission is encrypted, and participation data remains under your control. Senf is built to meet the professional standards required in public-sector planning projects.
Does Senf support multilingual participation?
Yes. All project content can be automatically translated — including the participation platform itself and all submitted contributions and responses.
You simply select the languages required for your project. The system handles the rest.
Platform texts can also be manually adjusted at any time, giving you full control over tone and terminology where needed.
Can we run projects under our own branding?
Yes. Participation projects can be presented under your firm’s branding or adapted to project specific or municipal design requirements. Logos, colors, and visual elements can be customized without additional technical setup.
Who owns the participation data?
Your firm and your client retain full ownership of the data. All contributions can be exported at any time for reporting, GIS workflows, or documentation purposes.
Is Senf accessible?
Yes. The platform is designed with accessibility in mind, supporting screen readers, keyboard navigation, and inclusive participation standards. Accessibility is integrated into the participation experience — not added later.
How does moderation work?
Contributions are automatically scanned for inappropriate or offensive content. Hate speech and clearly unsuitable submissions are filtered and flagged by default.
Manual hiding of contributions is possible, but a full manual approval workflow is not required. The system is designed to reduce administrative burden while maintaining professional standards.
Does Senf integrate with GIS workflows?
Yes. Contributions are structured and location-based from the beginning and can be exported in GIS-compatible formats for further spatial analysis.
Is Senf suitable for in-person workshops?
Yes. Senf supports hybrid processes. QR-based input and on-site participation can be collected within the same structured system used for online engagement.
What support do you offer?
Senf is easy to use independently, but we also provide comprehensive support — from onboarding and methodological guidance to best practices for public-sector projects.
How long does it take to launch a project?
Most planning firms can set up and launch their first project within hours, not weeks. The platform is designed to reduce configuration time and eliminate technical dependencies.
