    Betterhomes joins SwissPropTech

    SwissPropTech has a new member. At the beginning of 2022, Betterhomes joined the innovation network of the Swiss real estate and construction industry, the Zurich-based brokerage firm announced in a statement. As part of its membership, Betterhomes wants to pass on knowledge and promote a planned expansion. So far, Betterhomes has been active with its technology platform for broker and customer software in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

    “We are pursuing the ambitious goal of opening up 30 countries in Europe over the next eight years,” Betterhomes CEO Cyrill Lanz is quoted as saying in the statement. “I don’t count the technology so much as the biggest challenges, but rather the organic growth in sales and the cultural differences in the different countries.” The company is currently preparing a new website and a new learning management system for its technology platform Betternet 3.0 before.

    For SwissPropTech, the entry of Betterhomes is “a strong signal for our industry,” explains Lars Sommerer, Managing Director of SwissPropTech, in the press release. “A digital ‘real estate fair broker’ from the very beginning recognizes the importance of innovation and digitization and now wants to pass on his experience and expertise.”

  • 5 good reasons for a tech check

    5 good reasons for a tech check

    There are several reasons why it is worthwhile for a company in the real estate business to embrace new technologies.

    Attractiveness for employees: High potentials and well-trained employees want to work in companies that are agile and digital. In order to be able to keep up with the future “war for talents”, digital company DNA is almost a “hygiene factor”.

    Creation of efficiency and transparency: With new solutions – for example in the field of artificial intelligence and data analytics – resources can be bundled correctly, investment decisions can be made well-founded, and rental and sales processes can be processed faster and more cost-effectively.

    Minimizing risks: Through the targeted use of technologies, data can be generated, structured and analyzed in order to improve the basis for decision-making and thus minimize risks.

    New options for monetization: Disruptive new technologies such as blockchain technology are “business enablers” and promote the development of new business models, ecosystems and collaborations.

    Improvement of the user experience: New technologies such as virtual or augmented reality enable a completely new user experience. This type of convenience will become standard in the future and customers will probably no longer want to do without it.

  • What does artificial intelligence have to do with facility management?

    What does artificial intelligence have to do with facility management?

    The topic of artificial intelligence has definitely left its “laboratory status ” behind. AI-based solutions are increasingly being integrated into everyday work. In essence, it is not about the “ learning ” technology itself, but about the data behind it. The technological solution takes over the collection, storage, processing and use of the data entered. The interplay between human and artificial intelligence will be decisive for future innovations. Those companies that use AI sensibly will be prepared for the challenges of the future and will gain decisive competitive advantages.

    AI-based solutions have also found their way into facility management. Building cleaning is a very expensive subject and cleaning agents, energy and time are often used more than necessary – this is not only unecological, but also uneconomical. With the help of artificial intelligence, the use of resources can be optimized and costs can be significantly reduced.

    The Swiss startup Soobr offers a usage-oriented AI solution here. The existing performance and building data are read into the software, whereupon the AI plans the daily tours based on factors such as room distances, room priority, number and duration of cleaning. The occupancy of the individual rooms can also be integrated into the operational planning via room sensors, so that cleaning can be carried out precisely where it is really necessary. The cleaning staff are guided through the respective tours by means of an app on mobile devices, whereby you can feed the AI with feedback and documentation. Dynamic route planning increases efficiency, saves time and money in route planning and increases transparency for data evaluation.
