Real estate software is in dire need of innovation. But how do we tackle this? With over 40 years of experience in the software development industry, I have learned crucial lessons that can help us.Firstly, developing good software requires a lot of work, time, and attention. It is crucial to handle this process correctly from the start and invest enough time to achieve it. Just as the construction of a solid building can take ten years, so too does the development of robust software.Secondly, I have learned that functioning systems should not be replaced. Therefore, we choose to supplement existing ERP systems, not replace them. We do not change workflows that work well; we make them simpler. Our approach recognizes the strength of existing systems and enhances them with smart, additional features that increase efficiency and user-friendliness. We do this through seamless integration and synchronization with existing data structures and workflows, allowing our software to act as a natural extension of current systems.Thirdly, having been at the forefront of technology for 40 years, I am skeptical of smooth sales pitches. Many current technologies, such as the widely used PowerBI, are outdated underneath, resulting in slow, expensive, and energy-intensive systems that can only be kept functional with technical tricks. PowerBI can be seen as the 'diesel of automation'. With modern technology, abundantly present in Actoren, this can be much simpler, faster, and easier.I live by the principle of "put your money where your mouth is" and have dedicated the past ten years to developing Actoren. The result speaks for itself.Actoren, a cloud application designed to improve collaboration within the real estate sector, is immediately deployable and suitable for any organization. This 'plug-and-play' solution, which uses existing data, enhances efficiency by addressing the shortcomings of existing systems and promoting chain integration, without the need for lengthy implementations. The result is improved collaboration among various parties.By using the same software for all market participants, we share the development and maintenance costs, resulting in a cost-effective solution with low operational costs due to minimal energy consumption.Visit https://Actoren.eu for more information on how our software facilitates collaboration between market parties.
