# Kwest

> Kwest was a Berlin-based B2B SaaS workflow platform for the operations behind renewable-energy
> installations - solar, heat pumps and smart meters. It covered project management, inspection
> documentation, automated report creation and incident management, and connected installers'
> existing CRM/ERP/field-service tools. Speedinvest invested in 2021; Kraken Technologies (the
> technology arm of Octopus Energy Group) acquired Kwest in 2024 and folded the platform into the
> Kraken stack. Kwest never published a public API, developer portal or SDK. The company no
> longer operates independently and its former getkwest.com domain has lapsed out of its control.
