Innovate in rental management

Our client, a major property management in Switzerland (residential and commercial) is willing to anticipate the impact of digitization on its current practices. Indeed, new digital-native players are radically transforming the way of working of historical players in this market, disrupting the business model of traditional property managers.

After carrying out a detailed assessment of the value chain elements that will be affected by the digitization, we proposed to launch a startup on behalf of our client to anticipate this disruption. This 100% digital property manager startup aims to produce large cost reductions for our client by digitizing very manual processes. It could also generate additional revenues through the sale of this solution (SaaS) to other property management companies in Switzerland and abroad.
