      Volatile markets, rising vacancy rates, hybrid working models and growing ESG requirements: the property sector is under pressure to transform. Our English-language white paper, produced in collaboration with software developer Planon, demonstrates how decision-makers can unlock new efficiency potential through higher-quality data, integrated systems and clear governance – with the aim of future-proofing their organisation and portfolio.

      In the white paper, our experts analyse technological developments, the relevance of ESG, the opportunities offered by integrated platforms such as IWMS & ERP (Integrated Workplace Management System/Enterprise Resource Planning), and the importance of governance and change management.

      Holistic property management is becoming a key driver of value

      Overall, the analysis shows that holistic property management is becoming a key driver of value – through improved data quality, increasingly digital processes, modern digital applications and clear operational management. The white paper demonstrates how a digital backbone, structured ESG management and data-driven decision-making enable operational excellence and strengthen resilience.

      Analysis, assessment and recommendations for action: How companies can use digital tools to manage property more efficiently and effectively.

      An overview of five key findings

      • A stronger focus on operational excellence is essential

        Rising costs, vacancies and economic pressures make efficient processes, clear lines of responsibility and standardised data models essential.

      • Data quality as a key element

        Many companies operate with fragmented systems, manual reports and inconsistent data – integrated platforms provide transparency and enable better decision-making. 

      • Digitalisation as a strategic value driver

        The Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, optimised IWMS and ERP systems provide a comprehensive overview of portfolios, costs and risks – and transform property from a cost centre into a revenue driver.

      • ESG is gaining in importance – beyond compliance

        Sustainability is becoming increasingly relevant to finance: energy efficiency, decarbonisation and transparent ESG data influence valuations and resilience. 

      • Without change management, there can be no successful transformation

        Technology only works if organisations clarify roles, strengthen governance and involve employees in the transformation.
