    Wincasa switches debt collection to cloud software from Tilbago

    Wincasa AG is switching the handling of debtor processes to the real estate software Garaio REM from the Lucerne-based fintech Tilbago. According to a media release, both the debt collection process and communication with the debt collection offices will be handled using modern cloud software. The real estate service provider based in Winterthur is thus equipping itself for future requirements in debt collection.

    Tilbago knows “the challenges as well as the peculiarities of real estate service providers”, it says. The real estate package of the cloud software provider is tailored to the industry-specific requirements of legal debt collection.

    The software solution’s intuitive usability and location-independent use are arguments in its favour. This fits in with Wincasa’s so-called #weworksmart work culture. “The overall package of complete coverage of the collection process, compliance with the latest eSchKG requirements and the elimination of expensive maintenance contracts convinced us,” Michael Wittwer, Legal Operations Specialist at Wincasa AG, is quoted as saying.

  • City of Lucerne wants to heat entirely with renewables

    City of Lucerne wants to heat entirely with renewables

    The Lucerne City Council is requesting a special credit of 5.05 million Swiss francs from the City Council for the conversion of the heating supply to 100 per cent renewable energy. In addition, a supplementary credit of 194,000 francs was requested for the 2023 budget. According to a press release, this is to finance the increase in staffing in the real estate department that is needed until 2034.

    Additional staff percentages had become necessary because the voters of Lucerne had approved the city’s climate and energy strategy in September 2022. It stipulates that the city’s own buildings and facilities of the administrative assets, such as schools and administrative buildings, must be supplied with 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.

    Thanks to the increase in personnel in the real estate department, the conversion to renewable heat supply should be implemented by 2035 and the upcoming renovations of the properties in the financial assets can be managed. This is planned for a total of 39 properties.

    With the conversion of the properties of the financial assets to 100 per cent renewable energy, the city council wants to set a good example for its own properties, according to the statement. The city will help with any interim solutions for tenants.
