    ImmoTrack digitises home maintenance with artificial intelligence

    The start-up ImmoTrack is launching an automated scheduling system for home maintenance. The Baar-based start-up is thus adding a module to its web-based software, according to an article by startupticker.ch.

    ImmoTrack has been developing a software-as-a-service solution for the digitalisation of caretaking processes since 2019. This is because, according to the information, work in this area is still often done manually. “Scheduling is done by hand with pen and paper, and property reports for clients recorded on the computer are printed out and sent by post.”

    As a result, there is no overview of the results and services provided. This leads to dissatisfied clients and tenants as well as high maintenance costs. Founder Ofer Becker, himself a former manager of a caretaker company, wanted to change this and developed a solution based on artificial intelligence with his team. Through self-learning algorithms, work scheduling can be constantly improved.

    “Over the past three and a half years, we have steadily developed the web-based solution and will be offering our latest achievement – automated work scheduling – from June,” founder Becker is quoted as saying in the article.

    A financing round is currently underway. So far, the company has been able to collect 2.5 million Swiss francs in investments. 20 customers are using the software. another 60 want to test it. ImmoTrack expects an increasing demand for a digital solution in the field of facility management.

  • Artificial intelligence makes its way into caretaking

    Artificial intelligence makes its way into caretaking

    Facility management is an industry that has been little digitised for a long time. Caretaker services are still planned manually and the result is not recorded anywhere. There is already a lack of recording of the services provided. ImmoTrack founder Ofer Becker explains: “Today, caretaker services are still planned with paper and pen. No one has an overview of maintenance work, much to the chagrin of tenants.” The result is dissatisfied customers and expensive maintenance costs.

    To solve these problems, ImmoTrack has developed new software that uses artificial intelligence to digitise the entire process. In the future, ImmoTrack will optimise and automate the entire process, resulting in significant efficiency improvements. The new product represents more than 3.5 years of development work and a total investment of CHF 2.5 million, making ImmoTrack a pioneer in this field. According to Becker, caretakers were initially sceptical about artificial intelligence, but ImmoTrack is currently benefiting greatly from the ChatGPT moment and caretakers are open to new solutions that automate repetitive work and optimise results.

    However, according to Becker, caretakers do not have to worry about running out of work in the future due to artificial intelligence: “We have found that in the facility management industry, around 40% of planned work is not carried out. By going completely digital, caretakers have more time for pending work, which benefits tenants, property managers and homeowners. This is in line with the recently published study by Amosa, the cantonal labour market authority, according to which low-tech industries, such as caretakers, are less negatively affected by digitalisation. Caretakers are not expected to be replaced by artificial intelligence or robots in the future.

    At the moment, ImmoTrack is conducting a fundraising campaign to further develop the product. For example, weather data is to be networked directly with the system in the future in order to optimise maintenance work. The fundraising campaign is taking place on the new Arcton platform, and investors can invest in ImmoTrack until 30 June.
