Review Real Estate Lunch at Lamot Mechelen

What are digital opportunities for property developers anno 2024? How do we avoid a proliferation of Excel Sheets?

Some hot topics at this Real Estate Lunch at the architectural Lamot Mechelen.

Eric Goris Real Estate Lunch 2024

The event was all about smart digitalisation within the real estate industry. Our Dynamics 365 for Real Estate specialist, Eric Goris, kicked off with a warm welcome to some 25 developers in the room.

Digital challenges for property developers

As a project developer, you face the challenge of bringing structure, overview and connection to a complex landscape of projects, processes, departments and locations. The multitude of tools often offers only partial solutions, leading to inefficiency and missed opportunities. The key question is: How do we achieve digital, efficient and secure collaboration within our organisation?

We identify some essential needs:

  • Real-time and continuous Understanding estimated budgets and actual costs.
  • Avoiding a proliferation of Excel sheets.
  • Seamless connection between different systems and tools.
  • In-depth analyses for better project monitoring and decision-making.
  • Reliable support and protection against digital threats.
  • Accessing and managing crucial information.
  • Backups: certainty of data retention and recovery.

Effective administration and project follow-up

We land on advanced technology integrating all these aspects, looking beyond loose platforms and the limitations of Excel sheets.

Business Consultant Dynamics 365, Joey Events, then shared a behind-the-scenes look at our bespoke Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Real Estate solution.

  • Complete follow-up of sales processes and invoicing, in line with the Law Breyne where applicable.
  • A full trajectory of customer support from start to finish, with each step carefully supported.

Artificial intelligence: Microsoft Copilot in action

As a thorough ICT organisation, the topic AI and Microsoft Copilot was not out of place at this lunch. Artificial intelligence is therefore of great value to any industry, including property developers. Marketing Manager, Tom Hufkens, gave a live demonstration of the famous virtual co-pilot. Important to remember is that it is not plug-and-play and we are happy to guide you through this from A to Z.

Companies that successfully implement Copilot can gain a significant competitive advantage by working more efficiently and effectively. This includes letting Microsoft Teams summarise meetings, create PowerPoint presentations, analyse important Outlook mails and list specific to-do's.

He stressed the importance of Prompto logo Prompto's streamlined sales platform, which combines seamless lead generation, an integrated sales experience and innovative 3D visualisations to modernise the real estate sector and increase sales opportunities.
