SVIT AWARD winner from three property management companies is chosen
The winner of the SVIT AWARD is real estate management Certimo AG. On Monday, the company narrowly won the public vote from three property management companies that have implemented particularly innovative solutions for managing day-to-day business. The solutions from Roche and H&B Real Estate AG were honored with a present by SVIT Zurich Managing Director Pascal Stutz.
Certimo employees can now digitally process the work steps from the tendering of the rental properties and the selection of tenants to the signing of the contract and deposit payments. The company saves a lot of time and can use it for other tasks and projects that used to be neglected in day-to-day business. Another benefit of digital filing and processes is the flexibility of the place of work. In this way, specialists can be recruited from a larger catchment area.
Behind the success is not simply a proptech solution, but the willingness to try digital products, to actively support the further development of a promising solution with technical and specialist knowledge, and to make the introduction of new processes and functions in the company as easy and convenient as possible . Facilitations were demonstrated for step-by-step onboarding and new procedures were documented in concise checklists. A resource-saving rollout was made possible with the decision to completely digitize new business and the portfolio only in the event of changes. Building on the successes, the next digitization steps were planned.
Roche shows how Big Data enables smart management of business premises. The jury appreciates in particular that the Roche team does not simply focus on what is technically feasible. The insight that the added value is generated by end users and that technical innovations require a use case sharpens the focus on what is important, especially in complex digitization projects: the company’s success.
As part of the Smart Building Initiative, Roche collects building and facility data that supports employees and service providers in their work and makes the company more attractive, efficient and sustainable. In order to prepare relevant information and decision-making bases for buildings with different degrees of automation, the Digital & Site Engineering team uses an open IoT (Internet of Things) platform and use cases that are developed with users.
